This illustration shows what the next-generation Mazda CX-5 could look like. And somehow, it looks exactly like the Arata concept we saw a few months ago. However, the Mazda Arata was an EV concept shown at a Chinese auto show, previewing a new model built with Chinese manufacturer Changan, just like the new Mazda EZ-6… Continue reading 2026 Mazda CX-5.
New Cadillac XT5
After 8 years the Cadillac XT5 is finally getting a new generation. In China… The new XT5 looks a lot like any other new Cadillac SUVs from the past couple of years. And actually a bit less original than the previous one. The new XT5 is slightly larger than the outgoing model. For years, the… Continue reading New Cadillac XT5
2025 Tesla Model Y new battery.
A new leak from China claims the revised 2025 Tesla Model Y will get a larger 95kWh all-new battery. At least on higher-end models. For the Chinese market, the long-range AWD model uses a 78.4kWh battery. While in the US the same model uses an 81kWh battery. That setup is rated at a 308-mile range… Continue reading 2025 Tesla Model Y new battery.
2025 BYD Seal.
BYD unveiled new photos of their improved Seal EV sedan for 2025. While the exterior seems almost exactly the same as the car released in late 2022, except for new sensors, the interior has been completely redesigned. After just 2 years on the market. The BYD Seal is considered in Europe by many as the… Continue reading 2025 BYD Seal.
2025 Dodge Charger pricing.
This recent pricing leak shows the MSRP for the First Edition trims of the all-new 2025 Dodge Charger. Just like what we saw with the new Jeep Wagoneer S, the pricing above reflects the loaded versions of the car. The new Jeep Wagoneer First Edition price starts at $72,000 and will be the most expensive… Continue reading 2025 Dodge Charger pricing.
American 2-seater convertibles.
Of course, none of these are coming anytime soon. Which I think is too bad, as all 3 American car manufacturers now have access to modern and scalable EV platforms that could accommodate new smaller convertibles. All 3 used to offer 2 seater convertibles in the 80’s. Buick used to offer the really cool Buick… Continue reading American 2-seater convertibles.
2026 Kia Telluride.
We have just seen the first spy photos of a next-generation Kia Telluride a few days ago. This will of course accelerate the onslaught of illustrations we will be seeing in the next few weeks. The one above shows what could be hiding under all that camouflage. And it does match the little we can… Continue reading 2026 Kia Telluride.
2025 Porsche 718.
The illustration of the upcoming new Porsche 718 EV is both interesting as well as pretty bad. It’s always interesting to see what a new Porsche model could look like. Especially a cool future electric Porsche Convertible. But this one is pretty bad. It doesn’t really match the most recent spy shots we have seen… Continue reading 2025 Porsche 718.
New Tesla competition.
This new Mona M03 EV sedan from Xpeng is another Tesla Model 3 competitor in China. And another headache for Tesla. Xpeng is a very successful Chinese manufacturer created just 10 years ago. They already sell cars in some European countries, Australia and Singapore. This new Xpeng Mona M03 sedan is launching this month in… Continue reading New Tesla competition.
Chrysler Citadel.
There has been a rumor about Chrysler being on the Stellantis chopping block recently. Which would be sad news indeed and contrary to what the company was saying just a couple of years ago. What Chrysler needs is new models. It’s not that complicated really. SUVs, cars, vans, anything will be welcome. Sergio Marchionne did… Continue reading Chrysler Citadel.
2026 Honda Passport.
This new spy shot of the redesigned 2026 Honda Passport shows the off-road TrailSport trim. Honda had a great idea a few years ago to add the TrailSport trim to the aging Passport, then later to the new Pilot. I think the off-road bits look quite good on the “classic” Passport design. I test-drove one… Continue reading 2026 Honda Passport.
2026 Kia Sportage.
This new illustration of the 2026 Kia Sportage looks very close to the above spy shot of the real thing. It seems Kia is in a rush to adopt the EV9 front on all of their current models as soon as possible. Whether it fits the rest of the design or not, which is almost… Continue reading 2026 Kia Sportage.
Car Heaven in Burbank.
Fry’s was a very popular chain of electronic stores for decades and unfortunately closed in 2021. It has been abandoned ever since. Or has it… On my way to the Burbank airport, I realized the parking lot was not filled with 1970s and 1980s automotive treasures. Almost as far as the eye can see. These… Continue reading Car Heaven in Burbank.
Lincoln Versailles.
The original Lincoln Versailles from the 1970s was Ford’s attempt to compete with the Cadillac Seville. We know Cadillac is currently working on 2 brand-new sedan models based on the Ultium platform. Buick has already shown the Electra-L EV sedan concept, and Lincoln is probably not far behind since the brand is now more popular… Continue reading Lincoln Versailles.
Ford Maverick Lobo.
The new 2025 Ford Maverick Lobo pays homage to something I didn’t know existed: the street truck culture. I have seen many lowered trucks before but had no idea it was an actual culture. Unlike some of these crazy lowered trucks, the new Maverick Lobo still looks like it is quite driveable. It is powered… Continue reading Ford Maverick Lobo.
Buick Electra-L & Electra-LT concepts.
We’ve seen a few photos of the Buick Electra-L concept a few weeks ago. And GM released a few more recently. The Buick EV sedan concept is a great-looking sedan. But also, one that reminds me a lot of many other Chinese market EVs we’ve seen recently. Competition is extreme over there and things move… Continue reading Buick Electra-L & Electra-LT concepts.
2025 Tesla Model Y.
As expected, we are finally seeing a few more spy photos of the upcoming revised Tesla Model Y for 2025. The top picture shows the rear end of the car with a cover pulled up. It seems there might be a light bar across the rear of the car. However, that red light could also… Continue reading 2025 Tesla Model Y.
2026 Range Rover Velar EV
The Range Rover Velar is due for a total redesign in its 2nd generation. From the new spy shot above, it seems the new Range Rover could look pretty similar to this illustration I posted a few months ago. The next-generation Velar will be an EV and will be competing against the new Porsche Macan… Continue reading 2026 Range Rover Velar EV
2025 Ford Maverick.
The Ford Maverick is getting a few changes as part of a mid-cycle facelift for the 2025 model year. I think the new face looks great. And congratulations to Ford for resisting the urge to make it look like a small Ford F-150, which could have been a disaster. It still looks really good and… Continue reading 2025 Ford Maverick.
Audi A6/S6 e-Tron Avant.
The Avant model of the all-new Audi A6 e-Tron is, as usual for Audi, the name of the station wagon version. And, as usual for Audi, it looks better than the sedan it is based on. Especially from the rear, the sedan is not as modern looking as the concept we saw 3 years ago.… Continue reading Audi A6/S6 e-Tron Avant.
