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?

Buick will soon unveil its all-new Electra E7. Unlike the “regular” Electra lineup, which is all EVs, this new batch is all EREVs. Like the stunning new Electra L7 sedan. All are so far only available in China, of course. Even though the Hybrid market is heating up and EREVs are coming from Nissan and… Continue reading New 2026 Buick Electra E7 Hybrid.

If we are to believe the British magazine Autocar, Nissan is working on its own version of the new Renault Twingo EV. While the Twingo is a very modern interpretation of the first generation from decades ago, it seems Nissan is looking into the good old Nissan Pao as an inspiration. The Pao was part… Continue reading Nissan Wave retro EV for 2027.

The image on top is the first I have ever seen of the all-new sub-compact Kia EV 2. And I think it looks better than the concept we saw almost a year ago. I know they both almost look the same, but the production details make the final design a bit stronger in my extremely… Continue reading Here is the all-new 2026 Kia EV2.

Another CES show in Las Vegas, and another Sony/Honda prototype. This time, an SUV version of the Afeela sedan was introduced earlier. A prototype version of the Afeela sedan was first introduced at CES back in 2020. That’s right, 6 years! Back then, it was called the Sony Vision S concept. While not very exciting… Continue reading Another DOA from Afeela…

This new minivan is from the Chinese manufacturer Leap Motor. The D99 is related to the previously released D19 SUV, pictured in the last 2 images. The most interesting part is that, since 2023, Stellantis owns 20% of the Chinese brand. LeapMotor started selling cars in Europe in 2024, with the help of Stellantis. Now… Continue reading Could this new minivan become the next 2028 Chrysler Pacifica?

For some reason, VW is not ready to show us the final exterior design of the all-new ID. Polo EV. Although still covered in some jazzy camouflage, you can really tell what the final design will look like. Which will be very close to the VW ID.2all Concept from 2023. However, the production interior shown… Continue reading new VW ID.Polo Interior.
