2023 Toyota Crown: earlier design sketches…
I think these are great. Of course, it’s always a bit depressing to see these super cool earlier design ideas. For any car. In the case of the new Toyota Crown, these look much better than the actual production model. As usual. Especially the 3rd and 4th photos. These look very realistic and show a… Continue reading 2023 Toyota Crown: earlier design sketches…

2023/24 Jeep Jeepster: Vs. the “concept”…
The new small Jeep Jeepster EV will apparently look exactly like the concept we saw a few months ago. Which wasn’t a real concept but a preview of the production model. (The only difference I can see is the black paint on the hood of the concept) It is rumored to be based on… Continue reading 2023/24 Jeep Jeepster: Vs. the “concept”…

2023 Toyota Crown: meet the new family…
Last night, Toyota not only introduced a new Crown for 2023, but a whole new lineup of cars that will wear the Crown name. The one on the left is the one we will be getting in the US this fall. Called “Crossover Type”. Which is really wrong since it still has a small sedan-type… Continue reading 2023 Toyota Crown: meet the new family…

2023 Toyota Crown: the Japanese version…
These photos of the Japanese version of the new 2023 Toyota Crown show us some different interior color combos. Which are (IMO) better than the all-black shown earlier. And it does look quite upscale and luxurious. Pretty much Lexus-like.

2023 Toyota Crown: official photos…
21 inch whee Toyota has just unveiled the US version of the all-new Toyota Crown. Good news. And bad… – The Crown does look quite nice. 3 versions will be available, XLE, Premium, and Platinum (with the black hood) – Standard Hybrid with new “Hybrid Max” optional. – Standard AWD. – Hybrid Max (340HP) standard… Continue reading 2023 Toyota Crown: official photos…

2023 Toyota Crown: early official photo…
As expected from the teasers, the all-new 2023 Toyota Crown looks like the patent designs we saw earlier. A raised-up large hatchback sedan that will be marketed as a cross between a sedan and an SUV. Early specs also mentioned a 2.4 Liter Turbo or a 2.5 Liter Hybrid. Which sounds exactly like almost all… Continue reading 2023 Toyota Crown: early official photo…

Hyundai Ioniq 6 N Concept: how to make things worse…
It’s no secret Hyundai is indeed working on a sportier N version of the new Ioniq 6 EV sedan. And they are (almost) ready to sho wus a concept That concept also shows us how truly ugly Hyundai Ioniq 6 can be. Vents, spoilers, huge wheels, etc… Nothing has been spared to produce a truly… Continue reading Hyundai Ioniq 6 N Concept: how to make things worse…

2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6: new photos…
Since it is based on the Ioniq5/EV6, the new 2023 Hyundai IOniq 6 sedan has very similar specs. It uses the same battery packs as the Ioniq 5. Although the eneregy consumption is less. the long-range variant is expected to be rated at 379 miles in its home market. Which will be less in the… Continue reading 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6: new photos…

Cadillac Celestiq Concept: new teasers…
These new teasers almost show the whole thing. And the Cadillac Celestiq will no doubt be an impressive machine. But, it’s a concept. Sure, the production version of the Lyriq ended up looking the same as the concept. Which could happen here too. As far as the design goes, I think it’s really gutsy of… Continue reading Cadillac Celestiq Concept: new teasers…

2023 Toyota Crown: new teaser…
We’re not learning much from this about the upcoming Toyota Crown. Except that we are now pretty sure it will have headlights. And at least one version will be offered with a black hood. Otherwise, that big black grille does look pretty fake already and filled up…

2023/24 Honda Accord: Vs. the current generation…
Just like the Civic, the next-generation Accord will be a cleaner design than the current model. Although, unlike the Civic, it looks like the Accord will still have some personality. I still really like the current design. The new one seems a lot softer but still looks really good, at least to me. Especially since… Continue reading 2023/24 Honda Accord: Vs. the current generation…

2023 Honda CR-V: early photos…
Honda has only released official photos of the Sport Touring version of the all-new 2023 CR-V. Showing its intention to make the CR-V look a bit more outdoorsy. Which is kind of ridiculous. Since no matter what, this won’t look like a Ford Bronco. I also think it doesn’t match what people want in a… Continue reading 2023 Honda CR-V: early photos…

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…
