2022 Honda Civic: let’s take a look inside!
These are, again, just patent illustrations for the design of the next-generation Honda Civic. So they are missing a lot of parts. Like screen, trim, etc… But they do give us an idea of the general shape. Which doesn’t seem more modern than the current model, really. It does seem to have a more… Continue reading 2022 Honda Civic: let’s take a look inside!

2022/23 Nissan Maxima: a wild guess…
Of course, this is just an illustration of what a next-generation Maxima could look like. If it morphed into an EV. I have been saying for years Nissan should re-invent the Maxima as an electric sedan. And I think it is time. This year alone has seen many EV sedans from Chinese manufacturers. Most of… Continue reading 2022/23 Nissan Maxima: a wild guess…

2022 Honda Civic: the sedan.
I am still a fan of the current generation. Which, to me at least, was a huge step forward compared to its predecessor. This seems to be a step backward. Sure, it is a lot cleaner. (Especially the hatchback) But they took all the personality out of it. This now looks like a smaller… Continue reading 2022 Honda Civic: the sedan.

2021 BMW 4 series convertible: green!
This is one good looking convertible. I know I know. That grille… I have to admit, I have gotten used to it. Especially the chrome one. (for some reason) And I think it might be the kind of thing that actually looks much better in real life. The design of the new 4 series… Continue reading 2021 BMW 4 series convertible: green!

SongSan SS Dolphin: the Chinese 1950’s Corvette
The Song San SS Dolphin is an obvious replica of the 1st generation Chevrolet Corvette. Back in the ’70s there were plenty of small US manufacturers turning out fake 1930’s looking cars. Fiberglass reproductions of early Porsches. Or Cobras etc… That trend seems to have disappeared. Not in China I guess. I think this… Continue reading SongSan SS Dolphin: the Chinese 1950’s Corvette

Ford Mustang Mach E : big drop in price!
Not sure why, but the all-new Mustang Mach E EV will be cheaper than previously thought. So far, the biggest drop in price is on the loaded Premium model. Which is now $3000 cheaper. The Mach E does qualify for Federal and state incentives. Which means it would be $37 000 in California (and… Continue reading Ford Mustang Mach E : big drop in price!

2021 Honda Civic hatchback: Vs. the current model.
While I admirer Honda for cleaning up the Civic Hatchback design, I also wished it had given the car a bit more personality. From these patent designs, it basically looks like a cross between the current Civic and the Accord. The hatchback version is now more like a fastback. Which is nice. But also… Continue reading 2021 Honda Civic hatchback: Vs. the current model.

2022 Citroen C5: finally a production version of the Experience Concept?
The super modern-looking CXperience concept came out back in 2016. It looks like Citroen is finally almost ready to come up with a flagship model that could resemble the 4/5-year-old design. From the top photo, it doesn’t look like they will succumb to the SUV craze. Although they might still add some plastic cladding… Continue reading 2022 Citroen C5: finally a production version of the Experience Concept?

GreatWall Ora Futurist Concept: more pictures!
Here are many more pictures of the great-looking Oro Futurist concept from GreatWall. It was designed by Phil Simmons, who took over as head of design for GreatWall a couple of years ago. Simmons is mostly known for his Ford and Range Rover designs. While the front end is actually quite modern looking, the… Continue reading GreatWall Ora Futurist Concept: more pictures!

New Honda SUV eConcept: looking great!
What a glorious way for Honda to introduce a brand new design language. This looks great. Inside and out. Displaying a simplicity that has been badly lacking in the past few years. As mentioned earlier, the new HR-V will be the first model to use this new design language. (it might be too late… Continue reading New Honda SUV eConcept: looking great!

GreatWall: new sedan concept
This is an all-new concept from the Chinese brand Great Wall. And I think it looks fantastic. A breath of fresh air in a world invaded by SUVs and aggressive styling in general. Not sure yet if this is an EV or not (probably) Or it will even be produced. This has a weird obvious… Continue reading GreatWall: new sedan concept

Honda CR-V: All-new Plug-in version
As I mentioned a few days ago, Honda is coming out with a Plug-in Hybrid version of the good old CR-V. So far, this will be only for the Chinese market, starting in January. No specs on the EV range mentioned yet. This is really too bad we are not getting this. Which would… Continue reading Honda CR-V: All-new Plug-in version

Chevrolet Trailblazer: test drive coming up
I am driving the new Chevrolet Trailblazer for a week. I will be writing a full review in a few days. But so far, this is actually very, very nice. The model I have is a loaded version, with AWD, 9-speed auto and the larger 1.3 Liter engine. I will be happy to answer… Continue reading Chevrolet Trailblazer: test drive coming up

Let’s drive: Mulholland Drive
I took a drive along Mulholland drive a few days ago. back when the city was still filled with smoke due to the many local fires. It does created a strange look but also blocks the views of the city… Still, I think the legendary Mulholland road is a wonderful drive to take when… Continue reading Let’s drive: Mulholland Drive

2022 Honda HR-V: another picture
I know this picture is grainy, and does look pretty bad. Sorry… But the visual link to the new SUV eConcept (posted earlier) is obvious. This will basically look like a 4 door, toned down verion of the eConcept. And yes, an electric version of the next HR-V will be available in China (which… Continue reading 2022 Honda HR-V: another picture

Honda SUV eConcept: preview of the next HR-V
Here is the new electric concept from Honda. Shown in China. Which means a production version isn’t far. I think it does look pretty nice. Simpler than most current Honda designs. And quite a different design direction. As you can see, the new Concept is basically a preview of the next generation HR-V coming… Continue reading Honda SUV eConcept: preview of the next HR-V

Audi Q5 Sportback: the official pix…
Well, no surprises here. Excalty what we saw in previous posts… Also, they didn’t even bother redesigning the old dashboard with the stupid tablet (this one is the worst ever too…) This just looks outdated already… Good luck.

New small Chinese van: cute and modern rendition of the old VW Bus
I think this is great! So far, no idea who is making this. Probably one of these many small Chinese brands. Stupid VW has been taking forever (still no prototype driving around!) to revive the old retro Bus. I am glad someone else got inspired. The idea of a compact little van with cool… Continue reading New small Chinese van: cute and modern rendition of the old VW Bus

New Ford Equator SUV: not for us…
This is a new large SUV for the Chinese market. And will probably not be sold elswhere. Unless it is a preview of the new generation Ford Territory, which is sold in Australia and other markets. The design is very generic. On the top picture, it actually looks a lot like a previous generation… Continue reading New Ford Equator SUV: not for us…

Mystery SUV: what is it???
This picture was sent to me by ready. Who, like me, has no idea what it is. Which shows how sad things are as far as car design goes. You can see quite a bit of the car (SUV) and still, it is hard to guess what it is… It could be so many… Continue reading Mystery SUV: what is it???
