Study: college students dream of a Tesla…
Not sure if that’s a good thing or not. But according to a new study report, it’s true. 79% of college students drive a used car. For 47% of them, that car is over 10 years old. And most of these cars are Toyotas (16%) and Hondas (15%). Which does make sense, since these are… Continue reading Study: college students dream of a Tesla…

BMW XM: production Vs. concept…
As we’ve seen before, the production version of the last year’s BMW XM concept looks very similar. But is also quite different. At first, they basically look the same. Then you notice how much smaller the production grille is. The overall design is also much more conventional. especially if you compare the front hood… Continue reading BMW XM: production Vs. concept…

2023 Cadillac CT-6: new interior…
While the CT-6 sedan isn’t sold in the US, it continues its career in China. Where it will be getting some substantial changes for the new model year. And these changes include a brand new interior. As you can see, things do look all new in there. With a much more upscale look and… Continue reading 2023 Cadillac CT-6: new interior…

2024 Jeep Wrangler: new spy shot…
The current generation (JL) Wrangler came out 5 years ago. Production started in November 2017. Which means it would be pretty credible to see a few changes next year. For the 2024 model year. This recent spy shot doesn’t really show many changes. (Maybe the lights?) I keep hearing about a full EV version coming… Continue reading 2024 Jeep Wrangler: new spy shot…

2024 Cadillac Lyriq: new color spotted…
The Cadillac Lyriq is unfortunately available in very few colors in the US. At first, the new Cadillac EV was only available in black or grey. For 2023, dark blue and white were added. While interior choices are still either black or a very light grey. From these photos, it seems some kind of light… Continue reading 2024 Cadillac Lyriq: new color spotted…

2023 VW Atlas Cross Sport: Teramont twin…
The VW Teramont is the Chinese market version of our Atlas. I had seen photos of the regular Teramont/Atlas facelift before, but not the 5-seater version yet. (Called the Atlas Cross Sport here) And it does look pretty terrible. The new droopy headlights just look weird. And sad. The worst part seems to be the… Continue reading 2023 VW Atlas Cross Sport: Teramont twin…

2024 Mustang GT Convertible: video…
It might not look that different from the current generation. It also looks a bit like a Camaro. But the new 2024 Mustang Convertible is indeed a good-looking car no matter what. Still, it’s really too bad about the gimmicky/non-descript/messy interior…

Honda Integra Hybrid: Chinese market only…
Before Acura unveiled the new Integra in the US, Honda had shown us a new sedan for the Chinese market called the Integra as well. The Honda Integra. Which is just a slightly modified version of our Honda Civic sedan. A hybrid version of the current Civic came out a few months ago (not in… Continue reading Honda Integra Hybrid: Chinese market only…

2024 Toyota Prius: more spy shots…
I know it’s still covered up in camouflage. But so far, this is already the best-looking Prius I’ve ever seen. This is shaping up to be one super sleek sedan. You can already see Toyota’s new front-end design. Similar to the Chinese market bZ3 electric sedan. And a few concepts we saw last year. And… Continue reading 2024 Toyota Prius: more spy shots…

2023 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV: coming soon…
While Mitsubishi used to be pretty popular in the US, things have gone from bad to worse in the past few years. The “semi” bright spot is the new Outlander. Which has gotten mostly good reviews. And does look much better in the flesh than in photos. It’s basically a Nissan Rogue underneath, and for… Continue reading 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV: coming soon…

2024 Fiat 600: new illustration..
I guess the Fiat brand will have to eventually replace the good old 500X someday. The 500X came out in 2014 (2016 model year in the US). While it still looks cute, sales are far from great. With only 1181 sold in the US last year! Which is actually quite shocking. (This shows how bad… Continue reading 2024 Fiat 600: new illustration..

2024 Volvo EX20: new illustration…
Volvo’s next small EV could be called the EX20 or EX30. They announced today that the CX-90’s electric successor will be called XE-90. So XE-20 or XE30 does make some sense… A small electric crossover will be key to Volvo’s EV push. In order to keep costs down, the new small Volvo is rumored to… Continue reading 2024 Volvo EX20: new illustration…

Next-generation Hyundai Nexo: new illustrations…
Not sure if these are official or not (or if they’re even from Hyundai) And the Nexo s not been a runaway hit. Although it wasn’t really meant to be. Only 430 of them were sold last year. (Actually, a big jump from 2020 with only 208 sold) And it’s only available in California. Where… Continue reading Next-generation Hyundai Nexo: new illustrations…

2023/24 Mazda CX-80/90: new illustration…
This new illustration is obviously based on the recent spy shots we have seen of the new 7-seater Mazda SUV. But which is it? Mazda is planning 2 different 3-row new models for 2023. The CX-80 for Europe and CX-90 for the US. Just like the new European CX-60 isn’t coming here. Instead, we’re still… Continue reading 2023/24 Mazda CX-80/90: new illustration…

Dodge Hornet GT: video…
We all know the Dodge Hornet is an Italian-made copy of the Alfa Romeo Tonale. For about $10 000 more. Which will surely kill any hope Alfa had to really grow in the US. The GT model pictured here is the less expensive version that will start at “under $30 000”. While the 285HP PHEV… Continue reading Dodge Hornet GT: video…

2024 Toyota Prius: new spy shots…
This seems to be the same prototype as the car we saw a few days ago. Which again, resembles the various recent illustrations we’ve seen. Showing a much sleeker and more modern design. Smooth and good-looking would be quite an improvement over the current generation. And again, unless this is a standard PHEV with… Continue reading 2024 Toyota Prius: new spy shots…

2024 Toyota Prius: first spy shot…
As far as I know, this is the very first time we get to see the next-generation Toyota Prius. And it looks a lot like the illustrations I posted a few weeks ago. Which means a much sleeker silhouette. The next Prius could finally have a more mature and attractive design. With all the news… Continue reading 2024 Toyota Prius: first spy shot…

Honda Passport: test drive…
The current Honda Passport was introduced 4 years ago at the Los Angeles Auto show. It was basically a shorter, 5-seat version of the longer Pilot. Which was almost 3 years old by then. So it has never been a super modern design. But I think it has aged pretty well. Especially with the redesigned… Continue reading Honda Passport: test drive…

Chevrolet Equinox EV: video…
This video gives us a good idea of what the new Equinox EV looks like in the flesh. Driving around. sitting in a driveway. Inside and out. It even features a couple of humans around it! I think the Equinox EV looks great. The version shown in the video seems to be the 3LT. So,… Continue reading Chevrolet Equinox EV: video…
