As usual, a new BMW 5 series sedan will be available as a wagon a few months later. It again looks like a pretty lazy design. Nothing special, just a wagon rear end added to the awkward-looking new 5 series sedan. Which is indeed the recipe for most wagons from almost everyone. I guess I… Continue reading 2024 BMW 5 series wagon.
New Jeep Compass for 2025
Stellantis has announced future plans for the Melfi factory in Italy. The plant has the capacity to produce 1600 cars a day but is currently producing about half. It is currently producing the Jeep Compass, Jeep Renegade, and Fiat 500X. According to the plan, the Renegade and 500X will be discontinued next year. A new… Continue reading New Jeep Compass for 2025
Volvo EX90 hands-on video.
While at the Volvo Studio in Los Angeles to check out the Volvo EX30 last week, I realized they also had a new Volvo EX90 on the floor. I had never seen the EX90 in person and was, again, very impressed. It looks really good in person and is much more modern than the XC90.… Continue reading Volvo EX90 hands-on video.
Mercedes CLA Class wagon
The illustration above is obviously based on the official photo of the CLA-Class concept we saw a few weeks ago. Mercedes had also released an illustration of future upcoming models based on the concept sedan. There will be 2 SUVs and a wagon as well as a sedan when production starts. The Autocar illustration also… Continue reading Mercedes CLA Class wagon

It looks like we will know a lot more about Kia’s future EV3 and EV4 models as soon as next week. In the teaser photo above, you can recognize the EV6 on the left, the EV9 on the right, and the new EV5 in the middle. Next to the EV6 seems to be a new… Continue reading Future Kia EVs
2026 VW compact EV SUV
VW has announced it will start building an all-new electric compact SUV at its Wolfsburg plant starting in 2026. Where the ID.3 is currently being built. From the timing, it seems the new small SUV could be built alongside a second-generation ID.3. If there is one… A true EV replacement for the coming VW Golf… Continue reading 2026 VW compact EV SUV
Volvo EX30 hands-on video.
The all-new Volvo EX30 was on display at the Volvo Studio in Downtown Los Angeles for just a few days. I was able to see in person, inside and out, and came out very impressed. It looks fantastic in the flesh, and the interior does not disappoint. Everything feels solid and looks great. It is… Continue reading Volvo EX30 hands-on video.
2027 Honda Element?
The Honda Element was produced between 2002 and 2011. With a total production of around 350 000 units. It seems its popularity has grown since and once in a while, there have been rumors of a new generation coming out. The original Element was based on the 2nd generation Honda CR-V, which has grown in… Continue reading 2027 Honda Element?
2024 VW Passat Video
This is the official video of the new 2024 VW Passat. (With my 2 cents added here and there…) The new Passat will only be available as a wagon in Europe. Although a sedan version is also coming to the Chinese market. It will not be sold in North America. The 2024 Passat shares its… Continue reading 2024 VW Passat Video
2024 Honda Prologue
While all official photos of the new 2024 Honda Prologue seem to show the top of the top-of-the-line Elite model, Honda’s online configurator does have one of a less expensive model. Either the EX or Touring version, and it shows the car with the smaller 19-inch wheels. Sure, larger wheels usually look better, but I… Continue reading 2024 Honda Prologue
New Mini Cooper
If you ever wondered what the base version of the new Mini Cooper EV will look like, apparently this is it…
2025 Lucid Gravity
Lucid has been seeing testing the 2025 Gravity SUV. We first saw the Lucid Gravity concept 3 years ago. From what we can see in these recent spy shots, it looks like some changes have been made to the original futuristic design, in order to make it not so futuristic. Or so it seems although… Continue reading 2025 Lucid Gravity
Honda Prologue Video
Why don’t you go ahead and join me to discover the all-new 2024 Honda Prologue EV in this official video from Honda? It shows the car driving around and being parked in front of an expensive house. This is all you really need to make up your mind about the new Honda model. Of course,… Continue reading Honda Prologue Video
2024 Honda Prologue
Honda showed us a few photos of the 2024 Prologue a while ago, and today we get to see much more. First, the photos above all show the top-of-the-line Elite model. Honda has not released pix of the other versions, which are EX and Touring. The 2024 Prologue was designed in Los Angeles by Honda… Continue reading 2024 Honda Prologue
RWD Mazda 6
It seems every once in a while, there is a rumor about a new generation Mazda 6 sedan coming up. It was especially true last year when we knew Mazda was working on a new RWD platform. Which has since been used for the Mazda CX-60 and CX-90. (With a CX-70 and CX-80 coming up).… Continue reading RWD Mazda 6
Lotus Emeya in the wild.
From every angle, the new Lotus Emeya sedan looks pretty stunning and impressive. You would think a high-end EV sedan would be pretty rare, but the new Lotus will be competing with the Tesla Model S, Porsche Taycan, and the Audi e-tron GT. A Polestar 5 is coming in a few months and later, a… Continue reading Lotus Emeya in the wild.
Kia EV9 US pricing
Kia has finally announced the official pricing for the Kia EV9 EV in the US. Sort of… The only news is the starting price of $ 54,900 for the base “Light RWD” model, and that’s it. The pricing for the other versions, Light Long Range, Wind, Land, and GT line will be announced later. The… Continue reading Kia EV9 US pricing
2025 Genesis GV80
Genesis has refreshed the GV80 SUV and added a sleeker Genesis GV80 “Coupe” version for the new year. As you can see in the top photos, the front end is barely different. The grille seems just a tiny bit smaller and less obnoxious. But I think it’s still pretty bad and old fashion. Most of… Continue reading 2025 Genesis GV80
MG Cyberster in the wild.
I think the new MG Cyberster EV looks pretty good in the wild. Sure, the rear end is quite busy, and the scissor doors are cheezy. But at least they are trying something. Something that feels more like a true MG than the series of anonymous SUVs they’ve been turning out in the past few… Continue reading MG Cyberster in the wild.
Chinese Ford Explorer
Ford revised the Explorer inside and out for the Chinese market a few months ago. But I had never seen this ultra-luxury version before. There’s a new 2 tone exterior with gold trim (!). The interior even has these cheezy headrest pillows we usually see in high-end Mercedes models like the S-Class and EQS. The… Continue reading Chinese Ford Explorer
