Those who were expecting a new design for the 2025 Acura RDX will be disappointed. Even if you expected a real “mid-cycle refresh”, sadness and sorrow will be on the menu. Outside the grille has been ever so slightly modified. Something only current owners will notice. And unlike the 2025 Acura MDX, the dreaded trackpad… Continue reading 2025 Acura RDX.
2025 Dodge Charger pricing. New info.
I posted pricing for the new Dodge Charger First Edition trims a few days ago, and it was pretty shocking to a lot of people. However, as expected, the over $68,000 price was for a loaded First Edition model, and these are always way overpriced. What we have today is pricing for the far less… Continue reading 2025 Dodge Charger pricing. New info.
Cadillac Seville.
A few days ago I posted an illustration of a possible future Lincoln Versailles. Which of course will probably never happen. Back in the 1970s, the Versailles was Lincoln’s answer to the Cadillac Seville. The new Small Cadillac took the American luxury car market by storm when it came out in 1975, as a competitor… Continue reading Cadillac Seville.
2025 Cadillac XT5 interior.
I think Cadillac has done a fantastic job with the new 2025 XT5 interior. This is exactly what it should be, while not trying to look like a BMW or Mercedes interior. On the other hand, it is really too bad the current generation never got anything like this since 2017. And the current XT6… Continue reading 2025 Cadillac XT5 interior.
2026 Mazda CX-5.
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.
