Toyota Crown coupe: probably not…
The idea of a new Toyota Crown Coupe does sound nice. At the same time the Crown sedan was introduced, we saw pictures of an SUV, a wagon, and a more formal (lower) sedan model. Almost creating a new “Crown” sub-brand. Something in-between Toyota and Lexus. Although there isn’t that much room there for so… Continue reading Toyota Crown coupe: probably not…

MINI Aceman: new spy shot…
Every time we see a prototype of the upcoming Mini Aceman, it looks really close to the concept we just saw a few months ago. Although this new spy shot shows very different trim around the wheel arches. Maybe it’s a different version? With the concept showing a more “outdoorsy” model. The new Aceman EV… Continue reading MINI Aceman: new spy shot…

Nio ET5 wagon: spied and illustrated…
Chinese EV manufacturer Nio is getting a wagon version of the new ET5 sedan soon. The ET5 is a Tesla Model 3 competitor on sale in China and some European countries. Just like the Model 3, it is a fastback without a hatch. But unlike Tesla, Nio has chosen to offer a wagon version instead… Continue reading Nio ET5 wagon: spied and illustrated…

2023 Toyota Prius Hybrid: new video…
This video from Toyota details all the specs for the 2023 Prius Hybrid. We also get to see the grey interior. Which is still mostly black except for the seats. Since the doors don’t even have grey trim. It shows equipment and colors for all the various trims available. But no pricing yet. This also… Continue reading 2023 Toyota Prius Hybrid: new video…

2024 Hyundai Santa Fe: new illustrations…
ere are some newer illustrations of the upcoming 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe. It seems we’ve seen spy shots and illustrations of this car for ever now. While Toyota was able to keep the new Prius a secret until just a couple of weeks before it actually came out… These illustrations do look pretty close to… Continue reading 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe: new illustrations…

2024 Lexus TX: new illustration…
Almost exactly a year ago, we got a small taste of a few upcoming models from Lexus. Now we’re seeing a new illustration based on one of these photos. Showing what the upcoming new Lexus TX could look like. And since it’s close to the Lexus photo, it’s probably pretty accurate too. Except for the… Continue reading 2024 Lexus TX: new illustration…

Chevrolet FNR-XE Concept: more photos…
Just trying to find a few more live photos of the new Chevrolet FNR-XE concept. An electric sedan based on GM’s Ultium platform. To me, this is still very generic. It looks like it was designed by robots, not humans. There is just nothing we haven’t seen anywhere else here. I guess if produced, it… Continue reading Chevrolet FNR-XE Concept: more photos…

Hyundai Pony Coupe prototype: rebuilt soon…
Hyundai has announced they will rebuild the Giugiaro-designed Pony Coupe concept from 1974. The Pony was the first Hyundai to be sold around the world. (Although the first Hyundai in the US was the Excel in 1986). It was originally designed as both a fastback sedan and a coupe. While the sedan was fine, the… Continue reading Hyundai Pony Coupe prototype: rebuilt soon…

2024 Hyundai Santa Fe: new illustration…
This new illustration of the upcoming 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe actually does a pretty good job at guessing the next-generation SUV. Everything seems to match the recent spy shots we’ve seen so far. Although the roof rails are of a different design from the actual prototype. Otherwise, everything seems to be really close. It’s good… Continue reading 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe: new illustration…

2024 Buick Envista: coming to America…
We have seen the new Buick Envista a few months ago. Basically Buick’s new entry-level crossover for the Chinese market. Now GM has announced the obvious: it is coming to the US soon. Although it is a bit longer than the Encore GX, it might actually be a bit cheaper. Since it is related to… Continue reading 2024 Buick Envista: coming to America…

Chevrolet FNR-XE Concept…
The new Chevrolet FNR-XE is a new Ultium-based concept from GM. This is apparently previewing a new EV sedan. Probably targeted at the Chinese market. This looks quite a bit like the new Toyota bZ-3. Also mostly for the Chinese market. Especially the profile. The front end has a weird Lexus-like grille. And the whole… Continue reading Chevrolet FNR-XE Concept…

Volvo EX30: new illustration…
At the same time it introduced the all-new EX90 EV, Volvo showed a couple of new, smaller models on the same stage. We couldn’t see much, but that didn’t stop various illustrators to guess what these would look like. The smaller of the two would logically be called EX30. (Although why not a new EX40… Continue reading Volvo EX30: new illustration…

2024 Mercedes E-Class: new spy shots…
Although we’ve seen many spy shots of the upcoming redesigned Mercedes E-Class for many months (unlike the new Prius ), we’ve never seen the front end uncovered. Until today… And it is of course what everyone expected. A cross between the current E-Class and the S-Class and C-Class. The same design is ruled by fear… Continue reading 2024 Mercedes E-Class: new spy shots…

Hongki H6: new spy shots…
No, I’m not a big fan of Hongqi designs. Their big H9 sedan, while looking quite upscale, has a super chromy obnoxious design. And it looks like their upcoming smaller sedan, the H6, follows in its big brother’s footsteps. But what I find interesting is the rear design. A real hatchback, disguised as a regular… Continue reading Hongki H6: new spy shots…

Auto Show notes: part three…
In-person, the 2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV does look quite impressive. And quite large too. This seems to be able to compete with more expensive EVs. It’s actual;y 10 inches longer than the VW ID.4. And even 4 inches longer than the Mustang Mach-e. As for the interior, the 3LT version on the show floor looks… Continue reading Auto Show notes: part three…

2022 Auto Show notes: part 2…
Here are two cars that look really good in person (Actually, the Dodge looks fantastic): The 2024 Chevrolet Trax and the Dodge Charger Concept. I think the new Trax could be quite a hit. At a starting price of $21 500 (Around $25 000 as shown), this is much more fun-looking than a small sedan… Continue reading 2022 Auto Show notes: part 2…

2024 Buick Electra 5: dissapointing…
This is quite a letdown. After teasing us with the fantastic Electra X Concept just a few months ago, we get to see Buick’s very first EV (at least for the North American market). And it just looks pretty terrible. And nothing at all like the Electra X. At first, I thought it was based… Continue reading 2024 Buick Electra 5: dissapointing…

2024 Buick Encore GX: new face…
It looks like Buick is in a real hurry to see that new face they showed on the cool Electra X concept a few months ago. (That new Electra 5 has it already). I guess it does work on the Encore GX. It could be a nice upgrade. Another upgrade coming with the new face… Continue reading 2024 Buick Encore GX: new face…

2023 Cadillac CT6: now more Chevrolet-like…
Cadillac just redesigned the CT6 sedan for 2023. In China. Since we don’t get the CT6 in North America anymore. But the large sedan is still being sold in China. (almost 18 000 of them were sold over there last year). The 2023 model looks like an all-new design, and not just a mid-cycle refresh,… Continue reading 2023 Cadillac CT6: now more Chevrolet-like…

2022 Auto Show notes: part 1…
First, while not as great as in the past, the Los Angeles Auto show was much better than the one last year. At least, most manufacturers did show up (Although why not Cadillac???) The new 2023 Toyota Prius does not disappoint in person… It just looks great. The interior is also very nice and roomy,… Continue reading 2022 Auto Show notes: part 1…
