2022 Kia EV6: first official photos…
That was quick. earlier today I was still posting spy shots of the 2022 Kia EV6, and now we have official pictures. I must say, I think it looks much better than any of the illustrations I have seen before. many were guessing some really weird design under the camouflage… The final product looks… Continue reading 2022 Kia EV6: first official photos…

2022 Hyundai Ioniq5: European pricing…
This is the official pricing for the new 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 in Germany. Which, at least over there, will come in Base, Plus, and Top versions. The base model is available in Short or long-range, but no AWD. It looks like Long Range adds about 3000 Euros. Same for AWD. And the base model… Continue reading 2022 Hyundai Ioniq5: European pricing…

2022 Kia EV6: new pix…
As we know, the new Kia EV6 will be the Kia version of the Hyundai Ioniq5. With a totally different design. Not sure if it will be priced higher or lower than the Hyundai model. (The Genesis version will be higher for sure) Hard to say how big it is, or if it is lower… Continue reading 2022 Kia EV6: new pix…

2022 Honda Civic sedan: base model pic and engine info…
This is a picture of the all-new 2022 Honda Civic sedan base model. Usually called LX in the US. As for engines, apparently, Honda will offer the same choice as the current generation. Which is a 2.0 Liter for the cheapest versions. With a 1.5 Liter Turbo starting with the EX. The current 1.5… Continue reading 2022 Honda Civic sedan: base model pic and engine info…

2022 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado: kind of new…
The Land Cruiser Prado is basically a “Smaller than Land Cruiser” Land Cruiser. Sold in many countries but not the US. We are getting a luxurious version of it here as the Lexus GX (bottom pic) It looks like it is getting a new front end for 2022. And maybe more? It’s hard to tell…… Continue reading 2022 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado: kind of new…

What could have been: AMC’s stillborn projects…
As we know, AMC was basically bought by Renault back in 1983. Then by Chrysler in 1987. To be renamed Eagle in 1988 and merged into Chrysler in 1990. Which is really too bad, since they really were ahead on many fronts. They were selling 4WD wagons and sedans in starting in 1979! Long… Continue reading What could have been: AMC’s stillborn projects…

2022 Ford Maverick: giving people what they want…
These new spy shots of the 2022 Ford Maverick show a much better-looking truck than any of the illustrations I’ve seen so far. Which is really good news. There is really nothing new about the styling, and this might be exactly what most buyers actually want. A compact pick-up that just looks like a… Continue reading 2022 Ford Maverick: giving people what they want…

2022 Honda Civic Vs. Accord: sharing a profile…
I know, they’re not the only ones doing it. (just look at the new Mercedes C-Class…) But that is never a good excuse for doing something bad. And designing your cars to all look the same is pretty bad. I’ve had multiple comments on the 2022 Civic pix I posted on Instagram from people who… Continue reading 2022 Honda Civic Vs. Accord: sharing a profile…

2022 Buick Envision Plus: and why not…
This is what it looks like when you add a few inches and 2 seats to the new 2021 Buck Envision. And of course, you call it the “Envision Plus” (top) While it’s not terrible, it seems the new Envision loses all its good looks in the translation to a 3 row SUV. I don’t… Continue reading 2022 Buick Envision Plus: and why not…

2022 VW ID.6 Cross: there might be hope…
It looks like the upcoming VW ID.6 will also be offered as a “Cross” version. (At least in China) When compared to the regular ID.6 (the one in pink), I think the Cross model looks a bit better. At least the headlights seem more normal. And that fake SUV trim up front helps a bit… Continue reading 2022 VW ID.6 Cross: there might be hope…

2022 Jeep Wagoneer: the Grand Wagoneer “little” brother…
While the new Grand Wagoneer is the crazy giant, the 5 seater Wagoneer looks a lot like the new Grand Cherokee. Maybe a bit too much? Starting at $60 000, it is almost as expensive as the loaded top-of-the-line version of the new Grand Cherokee L. Which seats 7 and is (IMO) much better looking.… Continue reading 2022 Jeep Wagoneer: the Grand Wagoneer “little” brother…

2022 Jeep Grand Wagoneer: here it is…
This all-new Jeep Grand Wagoneer is their best shot at the Cadillac Escalade and Lincoln Navigator. We are talking about primo-American style luxury here. They are throwing everything they’ve got into this super lucrative (huge profit margin) segment. And why not. When I first saw the concept, I was really disappointed it didn’t look more… Continue reading 2022 Jeep Grand Wagoneer: here it is…

2022 Hyundai Staria: official pix…
This is actually one of the most futuristic designs I have seen on a production vehicle in years. The new Hyundai Staria van looks like nothing else. This feels like what the old 90’s Toyota Previa could look like now if Toyota had kept modernizing it. Instead of replacing it with the Sienna, Or the… Continue reading 2022 Hyundai Staria: official pix…

2022 Honda Civic: another version…
These are photos of a different version than the one I posted earlier. This seems to be a more regular trim with chrome trim around the windows. Painted mirrors and wheels. Is it better? No. It still looks like a sad, worse, and smaller version of the 3-year-old Accord. Maybe it looks amazing from… Continue reading 2022 Honda Civic: another version…

2022 Honda Civic: that poor thing…
This is, obviously, the model-specific to the Chinese market. But the US version will be the same car. At least in China, it will be available with a 1.0 Liter engine. Or a 1.5 liter and a 1.5 Liter turbo with 182HP. Which is 2 more than the current turbo available in the US.… Continue reading 2022 Honda Civic: that poor thing…

2022 Hyundai Starex (or Starria): futuristic van…
There have been many photos of the new Starex van on the web for a while now. It seems to be a new small commercial van from Hyundai. From the photo above, there will obviously be a passenger version as well. (the blue one) The interior pic was labeled “Starria”. Which is the name of… Continue reading 2022 Hyundai Starex (or Starria): futuristic van…

Toyota X-Prologue EV: new teaser…
Toyota will finally show us what their first EV will look like. The top photo already shows something that could actually look really nice. But also, something that is quite different from what we saw last year (Bottom pic) The new teaser shows a soft and rounded design that is nothing like what they were… Continue reading Toyota X-Prologue EV: new teaser…

2022 Audi Q4 E-Tron: another pic…
This is probably from the actual dashboard of the new Audi Q4 E-Tron. And it actually looks pretty nice. Nothing original since it’s an Audi. And the stupid giant grille still looks quite ridiculous. But somehow, it retains a classy look. Again, with its overdone interior, this is the “Anti Model Y”.

2022 Audi Q4 E-Tron: official teaser pix…
Some manufacturers (mostly Germans) seem to think it’s a good idea to preview their production models by showing us the actual car covered up in weird camouflage. Sometimes just days before the official unveiling. This is what we have today. The all-new Audi E-Tron. Covered in some “wannabe cool” graphics. While they actually show us… Continue reading 2022 Audi Q4 E-Tron: official teaser pix…

2022 VW ID6: more pix…
The VW ID6 will be the ID4’s larger sibling when it comes out later this year. I posted a few photos of the original concept from 2019. (red one) And you can see quite a difference. The production version is now a clumsy, bloated version of the concept. A concept that wasn’t that futuristic,… Continue reading 2022 VW ID6: more pix…
