Next-generation Hyundai Kona: showing its face…
Not sure if this is brand new, but I hadn’t seen it before. The top pic actually shows most of the front end of the next-generation Hyundai Kona. As we’ve seen before, the whole thing seems more angular. And these lights and that front end in general do remind me of the new Kia Niro. … Continue reading Next-generation Hyundai Kona: showing its face…

2023 Toyota Crown: teaser pix Vs.patent designs…
Well… It looks like these patent designs published a few weeks ago was the real thing after all. I mean everything matches the new teaser photos. Right down to the weirdo 2-tone paint job. The lower part of the hatch might look a bit strange in black. But at least, it’s glossy and not… Continue reading 2023 Toyota Crown: teaser pix Vs.patent designs…

2023 Hyundai Grandeur: new spy shots…
Little by little, the heavy camouflage is coming off the redesigned 2023 Hyundai Grandeur. The upcoming luxury sedan will blend retro and futuristic design cues. And so far, this really looks good. As I mentioned before, I really an EV version of thing this and the Hyundai Staria van would be great additions to the… Continue reading 2023 Hyundai Grandeur: new spy shots…

2023 Toyota Crown: official teaser video…
This short video gives us very little. Although what we see does match the illustrations and patent designs. Which again, reveals a drastic change to the Crown model. Going from an old-timey super conservative RWD sedan to some FWD-based tall fastback car. And also, returning to the US. The reveail is on the 15th. But… Continue reading 2023 Toyota Crown: official teaser video…

2023 Honda HR-V: test drive…
The new 2023 Honda HR-V is a totally different car from the model it replaces. Being based on the 2022 Civic instead of the much smaller Fit, it has become a larger, more mainstream compact crossover. As well as a more generic looking one. From most angles, it could be a Ford or a Mazda.… Continue reading 2023 Honda HR-V: test drive…

2023/24 Volvo C60: teaser…
Apparently;y, Volvo is thinking of replacing both the S60 sedan and the V60 wagon with a new model called C60. Which could be a raised hatchback sedan. Something similar to the new Peugeot 408 and others in Europe. And the upcoming Toyota Crown in the US and Japan. Interesting how all of a sudden, this body… Continue reading 2023/24 Volvo C60: teaser…

2023 Toyota Crown: new illustration…
This illustration from Carscoops does look really nice. This is probably the last guessing work we’ll get before seeing the real thing next week. Which should be really close to this, if the patent drawings published a while ago were real. It’ll be interesting to see if a raised-up large hatchback sedan from Toyota will… Continue reading 2023 Toyota Crown: new illustration…

2024/25 Alfa Romeo Guilia: new illustration…
This actually might or might not be new. (I think I’ve seen it before) The Giulia is now expected in 2024. And will probably be based on Stelantis’s new STLA EV platform since it will be an EV only. (Which will come in 4 different sizes). That also means the real thing will look very… Continue reading 2024/25 Alfa Romeo Guilia: new illustration…

2023 Toyota Crown: another illustration…
Since the real thing is coming out next week, I assume this will be the last illustration we see of the 2023 Toyota Crown. This time it seems they’ve taken out most of the black plastic trim. On the hood, sides, and hatchback. Which does make the car look a bit more upscale. Again, this… Continue reading 2023 Toyota Crown: another illustration…

2023 Hyundai Grandeur: new spy shot…
After so many spy shots, this is the best look we get of the new 2023 Hyundai Grandeur front end. Which matches many illustrations we’ve seen before. And resembles the super cool Staria minivan as well. And of course, both EV versions of these models would look great as part of the new Ioniq lineup.… Continue reading 2023 Hyundai Grandeur: new spy shot…

2023 Ford Escape: new spy shots…
It’s no secret the Ford Escape is getting a mid-cycle refresh for the 2023 model year. Which might, or might not, improve things. At least visually. The front end is all different, but not better. At least to me. It seems even more generic than before. And the rear end just seems to have tiny… Continue reading 2023 Ford Escape: new spy shots…

What could have been: 2nd generation VW Phaeton…
The Phaeton was VW’s crazy dream of producing an ultra-luxurious sedan. Under the VW brand. A stupid and obnoxious idea that, of course, didn’t work. Especially when you already produce the Audi A8 under the luxury brand you already own. The Phaeton came out in 2002. And it basically looked like a big Passat from… Continue reading What could have been: 2nd generation VW Phaeton…

2023/24 Hyundai Kona: a look inside…
We’ve seen spy shots of the next-generation Hyundai Kona before. But this is the first time I see one of the interior. And it looks like quite an improvement over the current one. The current generation interior never looked great, even when new. Of course, we can’t see much in this photo, but it’s already… Continue reading 2023/24 Hyundai Kona: a look inside…

2023 Toyota Crown: new teasers…
By the time it actually comes out on the 15th, the new Toyota Crown won’t be such a surprise. Since we have already seen it in patent drawings as well as numerous illustrations. For some reason, the top teaser photo looks fake to me. Like someone put together the new slogan and colored one of… Continue reading 2023 Toyota Crown: new teasers…

2023 Honda Accord: new illustrations…
All I have to say is: ” let’s hope not.” I really like the current generation of the Honda Accord and this would just be bad. Of course, it does look quite a bit like the spy shots we’ve seen recently. But the proportions seem pretty wrong. I know many expect Honda to “pull… Continue reading 2023 Honda Accord: new illustrations…

2023 Dodge Hornet: new spy shots…
We’ve all seen these Dodge Hornet prototypes before. And we’ve all hoped they would be early test mules. Since they looked so much like the Alfa Romeo Tonale. And again, these are the real thing. Which looks like a joke. All they did to the Alfa is change the front bumper, lights/grille, and hood. The… Continue reading 2023 Dodge Hornet: new spy shots…

2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6: in the flesh…
It seems Hyundai has taken the camouflage off some of its Ioniq 6 prototypes. As these photos were recently taken in Korea and show us what the new electric sedan looks like out driving around. All I can say is that it’s still pretty polarizing. I think the rear views might actually look better on… Continue reading 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6: in the flesh…

2023 MG-5: new spy shots…
Apparently, MG isn’t only working on new electric crossovers. This new MG-5 sedan will be powered by 1.5 Liter and 2.0 Liter engines. Looking a bit busy, but quite sleek. It’s hard to tell if it’s a proper hatchback or not. Although it really should be. The current MG-5 sedan came out a couple of… Continue reading 2023 MG-5: new spy shots…
