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???

New Honda CR-V Plug-in Hybrid: Not for us…
Honda will soon launch a Plug-in Hybrid version of its super-popular HR-V. In China… It took them a year or two to sell the regular Hybrid in the US, so I don’t expect this withing the current generation. But that also means the technology will be ready for the next CR-V, which is due… Continue reading New Honda CR-V Plug-in Hybrid: Not for us…

2022 Mercedes EQS: inside…
It looks like the upcoming Mercedes EQS sedan might be using the same screens as the new S-Class. All within a different interior. Which is fine, I guess. Why not. Although at these prices you would think they’d find a way to make cost-cutting a bit less obvious. The concept was fantastic, and I… Continue reading 2022 Mercedes EQS: inside…

Infiniti QX60 Concept: Vs. the current generation…
The first thing I noticed is how much smaller the windows are… Sure, it is 100% different. But I have to say, the current one that came out back in 2013 aged pretty well. Is the new one that much better?

2022 Audi Q5 Sportback: the fake coupe.
We have already seen spy shots of this a few times. These photos tell us the new model is right around the corner. At least in China… I think it looks fine. A bit more interesting than the regular Q5 actually. I just hope this brings along a new dashboard for the Q5 line.… Continue reading 2022 Audi Q5 Sportback: the fake coupe.

Infiniti QX60 Monograph Concept: this is it.
No specs or interior photos yet. (Seeing these dark windows, it looks like Infiniti might wait for the production version to show us the interior?) Add smaller wheels and door handles, and you basically have the next-generation QX60. Besides the huge chromy grille, this is a very clean and simple design. And a very… Continue reading Infiniti QX60 Monograph Concept: this is it.

2022 Genesis G90: already an all-new one…
It seems the Genesis G90 was all-new just a couple of years ago. But it actually came out 5 years ago in its home market. (With a facelift late 2018) So I guess it is already about time for a new one. Which already looks like a much sleeker car. The current model has… Continue reading 2022 Genesis G90: already an all-new one…
