2022 BMW 7 series: new spy shots…
The new BMW 7 series could very well end up being their weirdest looking sedan to date. And the worst looking as well. There is still very heavy camouflage on this prototype. But from that bulge. It looks like the grille could be even bigger than it is now (Which is already horrible) I am… Continue reading 2022 BMW 7 series: new spy shots…

2022/23 VW ID5: new spy shot of the ID4 “coupe”…
Of course, the all-new VW ID4 will be getting a “coupe” version. Called the ID5. The usual recipe. A lower roofline, less room, smaller cargo area for more money. Although I think this looks pretty decent, I hear it is not scheduled to be sold in the US. At least so far. I bet it… Continue reading 2022/23 VW ID5: new spy shot of the ID4 “coupe”…

2022 Jeep Commander: new illustrations…
These illustrations of the 2022 Jeep Commander are obviously influenced by the new Grand Cherokee. Which is fine. As we already know, the new Commander will be based on a longer version of the Compass and will seat 7. So far, it will be mostly for the South American market. But who knows, it… Continue reading 2022 Jeep Commander: new illustrations…

Battle of the Chinese grilles: which one is worse?
Just when you thought the Lexus grille was a bit much. We have two brand new contenders for the Worst Grille award, both from China. On top, we have the Roewe iMAX8 Minivan. The rest of the van seems to be a “boring OK” shape. But that front end is truly atrocious. On top of… Continue reading Battle of the Chinese grilles: which one is worse?

2022/23 BMW 3 series: new spy shots and illustrations…
The BMW 3 Series is getting a mid-cycle facelift soon. And it looks like BMW will not shoehorn the 4 series grille onto the sedan. Which is good news. The new front end (illustration matching recent spy shots of the new headlights and bumper parts) looks pretty good. If not really better than the current… Continue reading 2022/23 BMW 3 series: new spy shots and illustrations…

2022 BMW X7: spy shots and illustrations of a monster…
Looks like the super chromy BMW X7 will be getting even uglier for 2022. All the illustrations above seem to have in common an even weirder-looking face for the revised X7. With even more chrome, scoops, and vents all around that huge grille. And inside, of course, that double screen from the new iX SUV.… Continue reading 2022 BMW X7: spy shots and illustrations of a monster…

Saturn: what could have been…
It’s always fun to see these unbuilt designs from various manufacturers. And today, we get to see very early proposals for the Saturn brand, dating back to 1985. Which is a full 5 years before their first models came out. I always liked the design of the coupe. And I think it still looks quite… Continue reading Saturn: what could have been…

2022 Hyundai Casper: another spy shot…
The little Hyundai Casper looks almost ready to go. Again, this is not for the US. But mostly for the Korean and Indian market. Not an EV either as it will be powered by a 1.2 Liter engine.

2022/23 VW Jetta: why even bother…
It looks like the Jetta will be getting a facelift for the new year. (Not exactly sure if that’s for 2022 or 23…) As you can see, there won’t be much news. It seems the chrome lines within the grille might look a bit different. maybe the bumper? Nothing new is expected inside. Except in… Continue reading 2022/23 VW Jetta: why even bother…

2023 Lexus RX: new illustration…
The top illustration is new. (The bottom one is something I’ve posted a few months ago) Interesting to see different takes on what the next RX could look like. I think the top one is just way too close to the current generation. But the new NX is also pretty close to the previous one.… Continue reading 2023 Lexus RX: new illustration…

2022 Hyundai Casper: not the ghost…
Just like the famous ghost of the same name, the upcoming Hyundai Casper already looks pretty friendly. So far, the Casper is scheduled for Korea and India. And will be powered by a small 1.2 Liter engine. I know this is not scheduled for the US or even Europe. But this already looks much better… Continue reading 2022 Hyundai Casper: not the ghost…

Hyundai Ioniq 6: a look inside…
You can already tell the upcoming Hyundai Ioniq 6 EV sedan will share a few of its interior bits with the new Ioniq 5. The steering wheel and switchgear all seem to be similar. Even the part of the dashboard under the screens seems very similar. And why not, since they already will share platform… Continue reading Hyundai Ioniq 6: a look inside…

2022 Volco C40 recharge: pricing…
The new 2022 Volvo C40 Recharge will start at $58 750. Yes, another Volvo EV for around $60 000. A few years ago, Volvo has claimed they would soon be at the forefront of the EV revolution with tons of new electric models, etc… So far, we got the Polestar 2 sedan. Which in… Continue reading 2022 Volco C40 recharge: pricing…

2022 Porsche Macan: why?
Porsche just revised the Macan SUV. And I’m not sure why. Sure, it does look a little bit different (The orange one is the “new” one) But I don’t think it’s an improvement. At least they didn’t ruin it. (maybe they did for some?) Inside the console looks cleaner. Otherwise, it’s the same thing. Al… Continue reading 2022 Porsche Macan: why?

2022 Toyota Aqua (Prius C): official pix…
Even though the previous generation left the US in 2019, it has been a big hit for Toyota with over 1.8 million sold around the world. The new model is based on the same platform as the new Yaris. And Toyota claims it is 20% more efficient. Which would mean about 57 City/52 Hwy in… Continue reading 2022 Toyota Aqua (Prius C): official pix…

2023 Kia Telluride: first spy shots…
The Kia Telluride is arguably one of the best-looking SUVs on sale today. And it is very popular. (It is apparently still pretty hard to get one these days) Which is great for Kia. As we have already seen spy shots of the revised 2023 Hyundai Palisade, it was just a matter of time… Continue reading 2023 Kia Telluride: first spy shots…

2022/23 Hyundai Ioniq 6: new spy shots…
The only thing we know about the all-new Ioniq 6 i that it won’t look anything like the cool Prophecy concept. Which is really too bad. But if you forget the Prophecy, the Ioniq 6 could still be a decent-looking sedan. Probably one of these fastback designs with a tiny trunk opening though… The interior… Continue reading 2022/23 Hyundai Ioniq 6: new spy shots…

New Smart SUV: new teaser…
Smart just released a new teaser for their upcoming SUV. (The bottom pic was released earlier) It will be unveiled in September as a concept. So we can expect a production version sometime next year. The new small EV SUV will be based on a new Geely platform. That same platform will also be used… Continue reading New Smart SUV: new teaser…

2022 Ranger Rover Evoque L: Make room! Make room!
We all knew it was coming: a longer wheelbase version of the compact Range Rover Evoque for China. I really like the Evoque design, and so far, the longer version still looks really good. It is about 6 inches longer and adds 5 inches of rear legroom. Not sure if the “L” version will… Continue reading 2022 Ranger Rover Evoque L: Make room! Make room!

2022 Nissan Frontier/Pathfinder Production: video from the factory…
These factory videos are always pretty fascinating to me. Especially seeing a brand new model being built. My favorites are the ones where you actually see the sheets of metal being stamped into body parts. This one starts a bit after that. It all looks like putting together a giant model kit…
