We have seen so many spy shots and illustrations of the upcoming Genesis GV90 EV SUV, it’s almost ridiculous. And it has been going on for along, long time. The new illustrations from NYMammoth above carry on the tradition. They both show something that is very, very close to the spy shots we have seen… Continue reading 2027 Genesis GV90 SUV Looks Ready to Challenge the Cadillac Escalade IQ.

While I am not a fan of the current BMW X5, I think this next one is quite a ghastly mess. This 5th generation X5 SUV is obviously vaguely inspired buy the Neue Klasse SUV concept we saw a few years ago. The new iX3 tried to stay close to the concept. And wasn’t very… Continue reading 2027 BMW X5: What Happened to BMW’s Design?

Sale numbers haven’t been that great and Hyundai is working on a new face, and more, for their mid-size SUV. The illustration above from NYMammoth shows what the revised 2027 model could look like. When Hyundai… Continue reading Hyundai Gives The Santa Fe Another Bold New Look for 2027.

These official photos are the first ones of the real thing. The Hyundai Avante will soon become, as usual, the North American Elantra. And I have to admit that I am very impressed. For a few reasons. First, I think this is another design that actually stands out. Just put this against the current Civic… Continue reading All-new Hyundai Elantra Official Reveal.

From the Stellantis official presentation a few weeks ago, we’ve learned that a new Jeep Wrangler Scrambler was coming. That just sounds like a shorter, 2 door version of the Jeep Gladiator pickup.

One, the Arrow, will… Continue reading New Chrysler Airflow Looks Much Cheaper Than Expected.

Which actually means most… Continue reading 2028 Honda Odyssey Could Finally Fix Its Biggest Problem.
