A few weeks ago I had the chance to drive a new Nissan Leaf for a week. While I’ve already posted a review, I hope this short video is a bit more entertaining.

The good news is that the Chrysler brand is far from dead, and new models are on their way. For real this time.

The current Toyota Camry was introduced in late 2023. However, it was really more of a comprehensive refresh of the generation that had been around since 2017.

Aside from the new front and rear styling, the… Continue reading 2029 Toyota Camry Preview.

Ford has been hard at work on the new Universal EV platform for years now. Of course, we will see that new “sub-$30,000 EV pickup” soon, but various Ford execs keep mentioning something else.

As far as we know, a new two-door Lincoln coupe isn’t expected anytime soon. And that’s really too bad. And yet, here are some images of what a new Lincoln Mark IX could look like.

The Lincoln Mark series… Continue reading Why the Lincoln Mark Series Deserves a Modern Comeback.

Apparently, Ford is working on a next-generation Escape, known as the Kuga in Europe. The new model is expected to arrive in 2029 and it will be very different from any Escape we’ve seen before.

Smart is currently launching its all-new #6 sedan in China. With a starting price of around $28,000. As I mentioned earlier, it looks a lot like something Dodge would, or even, should build.
