The original Avanti was a luxury coupe built by Studebaker in 1962 and 1963. It featured a classic and iconic design by Raymond Loewy. Production of the Studebaker Avanti ended with the death of the whole brand in December 1963. You’re right that the Avanti name has one of the strangest and most fragmented afterlives of… Continue reading How about a new Avanti sedan for 2027?

The all-new Volvo EX60 is finally here (almost). It was supposed to replace the good old XC60, but that ship has now sailed. The Volvo XC60 lives on with a slight refresh for 2026, and the EX60 is now its own thing. While I really like the EX30 and EX90 interiors, this new one is… Continue reading 2027 Volvo EX60 official photos.

I personally think the Hyundai Ioniq 5 is one of the most interesting-looking cars around these days. It reminds me a lot of the work of my favorite car designer, Giorgetto Giugiaro, especially what he came out with in the 1970s and early 1980s. It just looks like a futuristic version of the first-generation VW… Continue reading Hyundai Ioniq 5 test drive coming up.

Kia has just released the first official photos of the 2027 Kia Niro. Which is not a new generation, but a pretty heavy refresh of the current model. As you can see, the whole front end has been redesigned. As well as the rear of the car. Not just bumpers and headlights. The whole thing… Continue reading Here is the 2027 Kia Niro.

The Hyundai Santa Fe is already getting ready for a mid-cycle refresh. The illustration above seems to match the many spy shots of the revised SUV we have already seen. It seems the current generation just came out, but it’s already been over 2 years. However, it seems Hyundai is in a hurry to modify… Continue reading A look at the 2027 Hyundai Santa Fe.

This new illustration of a possible retro revival of the Buick Riviera follows a similar design language to the previously posted Buick Roadmaster and Buick Century illustrations. A new shape filled with many retro futuristic design cues. Something that would also be big and impressive. So far, the only new large 2 door coupe we’ve… Continue reading Retro 2028 Buick Riviera.

Canada has just reversed its position on Chinese-built EVs. While it had imposed a 100% tarriff in 2024, the country now has a new trade deal with China. Which includes a reduction of the tariff all the way down to 6.1% (While China drops tariffs on Canadian products). It will also allow up to 49,000… Continue reading Chinese EVs coming to Canada in 2026.

The illustration above shows what Ford‘s all-new compact EV pickup could look like. It will be the brand’s first model based on the new Universal EV Platform. Ford‘s CEO Jim Farley mentioned: “Our first body style will be a pickup, but it’s really not a pickup. I would say it’s a new silhouette. What I… Continue reading 2027 Ford EV pickup.

This illustration shows what a new Ford Ranchero could look like. Not just using the old Ranchero name on a new model, but a real New Ranchero. The Ford Ranchero was produced over 7 generations from 1957 to 1979. It was based on a 2 door version of the average Ford sedan at the time.… Continue reading 2028 Ford Ranchero. A “Universal EV Platform” surprise?

Acura has just released a teaser image of the next-generation Acura RDX SUV. And it already looks more modern and much more dynamic than the current version. With much nicer proportions as well. Which is no surprise since the current version is now 7 years old.  The big news is that a new “Two-motor Hybrid… Continue reading 2028 Acura RDX teaser.

The top image is obviously an illustration based on an official photo from Lexus (bottom). It shows a weird cross between a heavy mid-cycle refresh and a brand new design for the next-generation Lexus NX. The current, second generation, Lexux NX came out in June 2021. For some reason, it seems much older to me.… Continue reading 2027 Lexus NX.

GM still has big EV plans, even if there is a current, momentary switch to Hybrid and a few new gas-powered models (Like the 2nd generation Cadillac CT5). A reborn Saturn brand could be the perfect outlet for a series of affordable new EV models. It seems there were a few totally fake rumors about… Continue reading Could the Saturn SC return as a cheap EV for 2028?

First, we will soon see a new Hyundai Elantra. However, there have been rumors about a new Sonata coming as well. Which is quite confusing since the next generation Sonata sedan was beleived to have been canceled. Leaving the Elantra as the only Hyundai sedan available in the US. We have seen many spy shots… Continue reading 2027 Hyundai Sonata on its way?

The illustration above shows what many are still wishing for: a next-generation Chrysler 300 sedan. One that, once again, could find some inspiration from Bentley. While I personally never saw it, many thought the 1st generation from 2005 resembled a Bentley. I think Chrysler could do much worse than offering a Bentley-inspired new sedan within… Continue reading 2028 Chrysler 300 sedan?

All sedans have been gone from Buick‘s US lineup for a while. It’s all SUVs now. All with less and less personality with each new generation. Just look at the “new” Buick Enclave. A shape that could be from anyone, anywhere on earth. Of course, many have been lamenting the lack of new sedans in… Continue reading Should Buick release a new 2027 Century sedan in the US?
