2022 Mercedes EQS: US pricing…
Another good surprise as far as pricing goes: the new 2022 Mercedes EQS (of all things…) Many in the press had predicted the EV would be priced well above the current S-Class, which starts at $110 000 in the US. Most were guessing a base price of around $120 000 for the EQS. It will… Continue reading 2022 Mercedes EQS: US pricing…

2023 Lincoln Zephyr: same as the concept…
It’s always good to see a production design staying really close to its “concept” preview. It looks like it will be the case with the upcoming Lincoln Zephyr. We saw the concept last April, and now these patent drawings for the production version look almost exactly the same. Which was expected, since the “concept” wasn’t… Continue reading 2023 Lincoln Zephyr: same as the concept…

2022 Honda Passport : new Trailsport version…
For 2022, the Honda Passport gains a new more macho version called Trailsport. It has slightly wider tracks, a specific grille (All 2022 Passport models get a redesigned grille), and unique wheels. While the new grille looks almost exactly like the one introduced last year on the Honda Ridgeline, at least they left out the… Continue reading 2022 Honda Passport : new Trailsport version…

Next-generation Subaru Impreza: new illustration…
The current generation Subaru Imprezza was introduced back in March 2016. So it’s not that crazy to imagine a new design is on its way, after almost 6 years. It actually is an important design for Subaru in the US, because of the Crosstrek. The Crosstrek is basically an Imprezza on stilts, covered in black plastic… Continue reading Next-generation Subaru Impreza: new illustration…

2022 Audi Q4 E-tron US pricing: a possible huge hit for Audi…
Once in a while, manufacturers price their cars just right. Just the way they should be priced to be successful. (Remember the horrible pricing of the $76 000 Cadillac XLR?) This is the case for the all-new Audi Q4 E-Tron EV. It starts at under $44 000 before destination. And incentives. Which means, in many… Continue reading 2022 Audi Q4 E-tron US pricing: a possible huge hit for Audi…

2022 Ford Expedition: time for a refresh…
Outside, the revised 2022 Ford Expedition gets an all-new front end. Changes to the rear end seem pretty minimal. The new face is different, but not really better. It now looks a bit less like an electric razor. Or just a razor from another brand… The interior gets a redesigned dashboard. Which makes the whole… Continue reading 2022 Ford Expedition: time for a refresh…

2022 Honda Civic Hatchback: official pricing…
Honda just announced the official pricing for the new 2022 Civic Hatchback. Which is basically around $1200 more than the sedan. Oddly enough, the “regular” EX version is not available with the hatch. And the Touring is now called Sport Touring. Honda also mentions a “sportier character” for the hatchback. Not sure if that means… Continue reading 2022 Honda Civic Hatchback: official pricing…

2022 Lexus LX: new illustration…
Just no. Please no. We all know a new generation Lexus LX SUV is on its way, based on the new Toyota Land Cruiser. And we can also expect the new Lexus to look pretty bad. But I really don’t things will be that awful…

2022 Toyota Tundra: “ghastly”…
IMO, I think the new 2022 Toyota Tundra is one of the worst looking things on 4 wheels available today (Or very soon) This is going into a very competitive market. One that is dominated by US manufacturers. Ford, GM, and RAM have been putting a lot of effort into making their trucks more… Continue reading 2022 Toyota Tundra: “ghastly”…

2023 BMW 3 series: the electric version…
I’ve heard rumors about this since before the current 3 series came out in 2018. I guess BMW wasn’t ready then… The all-new i4 is already out, and of course, it is fairly easy to transfer the tech to the “regular” 3 series sedan body. As you can see, the interior is basically the… Continue reading 2023 BMW 3 series: the electric version…

2022/23 Audi Q9: and why not…
I guess the Q8 isn’t big enough or luxurious enough for some. Have no fear, as Audi is getting an even larger SUV ready. Probably called the Q9. I guess this will compete with the upcoming new super-sized BMW SUV. Or maybe this is a new Chinese market-only model. Just like that really cool-looking A7… Continue reading 2022/23 Audi Q9: and why not…

2023 Ford Explorer: mid-cycle facelift coming up…
It’s about that time. The Ford Explorer will be getting a few changes for the 2023 model year. Which means, in a few months. Let’s hope a new dashboard is also part of the refresh. As the current one looks quite messy. With over 226 000 of them sold last year alone, the current generation… Continue reading 2023 Ford Explorer: mid-cycle facelift coming up…

Toyota RAV-4: some new Chinese version…
This is a version of the Toyota RAV-4 sold in China. As you can see, it has a different front end and rear lights. Not sure if they are such an improvement over what we have over here, but at least the grille seems a bit smaller. The current RAV-4 came almost 3 years ago… Continue reading Toyota RAV-4: some new Chinese version…

Things I see around town…
Among these “things I see” are a Dodge, Chevrolet, Acura, Lincoln. And even a Yugo! Can you guess the models and years?

202? Mini Cooper: ???
I posted some spy shots of an upcoming Mini last year (HERE). The spy shot above seems to be the same car. And it is still puzzling. Since the Mini just got a facelift for the 2022 model year, you wouldn’t expect something that new before the end of 2023. Yet these have been testing… Continue reading 202? Mini Cooper: ???

2023 Polestar 4: the production version…
From what we can see here, the upcoming Polestar 4 sedan will look very similar to the Precept Concept from last year. Which is great news, since that concept looked great. First, we will see the Polestar 3 SUV. Which will be based on the next Volvo XC90. While the Volvo will be a 3… Continue reading 2023 Polestar 4: the production version…

2022 Ford Fiesta: a few changes…
The current generation Ford Fiesta came out in 2017 and has never been sold in the US. The European model is getting a few small changes for 2022. Usually, after 5 years, a new generation would be around the corner. But I guess the Fiesta isn’t as popular as it used to be, and Ford… Continue reading 2022 Ford Fiesta: a few changes…

2023 Hyundai Ioniq 7: new illustration…
This new illustration of what the upcoming Ioniq 7 “Large SUV” could look like is inspired by the recent photo Hyundai teased us with a few days ago. (HERE) But somehow, it doesn’t look as good. The wheel arches are just too thick. Like an older Mitsubishi SUV. And the rear end seems less… Continue reading 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 7: new illustration…

2023 Mercedes CLE: another 4 door “coupe”…
The illustration above is obviously inspired by the spy shots we saw last June (bottom pic). As rumored, Mercedes will probably not come up with a coupe and convertible version of the new C-Class. Instead, they will have yet another 4 door “coupe. The new model will be sandwiched between the CLA and CLS. Which… Continue reading 2023 Mercedes CLE: another 4 door “coupe”…
