This is of course just an illustration. Showing what an SUV version of the upcoming Mercedes CLA EV could look like. I think a design like this would be a disaster. Besides the front end, it looks too much like the current Mercedes EQE SUV. And the current EQ line isn’t selling. Mercedes is having… Continue reading Mercedes CLA SUV.

Zeekr seems to be on a roll after the launch of the Zeekr X and the all-new Zeekr 007 sedan. While the 007 will be going after the Tesla Model 3, Zeekr is also working on a new SUV to compete with the Tesla Model Y. This seems pretty obvious since competing with the Model… Continue reading Future Zeekr SUV.

The 2024 model year will celebrate the second “mid-cycle” facelift for the current generation of the Porsche Panamera. The current model came out in 2016 (bottom) and was a vast visual improvement over its odd-looking predecessor. It just looked like what a 4 door Porsche should have from the beginning. The second generation received a… Continue reading 2024 Porsche Panamera.

Ford is getting ready to launch a second EV for the European market. After the Explorer EV last year (2nd pic) we will soon see a “coupe” version of that model based on the same platform, and probably the same great interior. (illustration above) The Explorer EV is the result of a partnership with VW… Continue reading New Ford EV!

Toyota will have quite a busy year in 2024. The “new” 2025 Camry will arrive at dealerships next spring. A new generation RAV-4 is also due to be revealed at around the same time. There is also talk about a compact more rugged new SUV model, inspired by the new 2024 Land Cruiser. (Also arriving… Continue reading 2025 Toyota 4-Runner.

These are very early photos of the revised 2025 Hyundai Tucson. There seem to be just small differences outside, although the new grille seems a bit more square. Which isn’t an improvement. The Tucson still looks fresh and modern and didn’t really need anything. It’s another story inside, a sad one. The Tucson currently has… Continue reading 2025 Hyundai Tucson.

GM just released a new teaser showing future Cadillac EVs. This is actually a terrible and cheap-looking photo that seems to repeat the car under cover twice. You can tell the folds from the cover appear exactly the same. The new model seems to be taller than the new Cadillac Optiq with a more obvious… Continue reading Future Cadillac EVs.

You know an Auto Show is boring when the best, most fun about it is the unveiling of what could be the worst-looking truck you’ve ever seen. This new “Aitekx Robotruck” looks like a Tesla Cybertruck copy a couple of 15-year-old nerds built in their garage. The unveiling actually gathered quite a few curious journalists,… Continue reading Aitekx Robotruck.

Recent rumors point to a possible new Volvo wagon coming soon. In interviews from last June, both Volvo’s Warren Davidson and Erik Severinson mentioned something about future cars and possible wagons as part of Volvo’s new EV lineup. This would be great news, as Volvo without wagons sounds like VW without a Beetle. They even… Continue reading Volvo V90.

The new Honda Prelude concept made a surprise appearance at the Los Angeles Auto Show, and it was great to see it in person. I have to say, it looks really nice in the flesh, and that’s in white. I am sure any other color will probably even look better. I am not a fan… Continue reading Honda Prelude.

Just a few decades ago, it seems everyone was offering their version of the affordable, 2-door 4-seater coupe. As we know, 2-door cars have slowly become less and less popular, being oddly replaced by a sea of much larger and thurstier SUVs. With the return of the Honda Prelude, I wonder if others will follow… Continue reading Future coupes: part 2.

Cadillac is releasing new photos of its upcoming compact EV, the new 2025 Cadillac Optiq. Just 2 photos aren’t much, but we’ve already seen the Chinese market Optiq last summer. (Silver car). While I was personally hoping for something a bit more striking and original, this isn’t that bad. The Optic is basically Cadillac’s version… Continue reading 2025 Cadillac Optiq.

While the US version of the 2024 Chevrolet Traverse is available in LS, LT, Z71, or RS versions, the Chinese market is also getting an Activ model. (I guess our Z71 is the closest thing to an Activ model) And that’s obviously not the only difference. The Chinese version of the redesigned 2024 Chevrolet Traverse… Continue reading 2024 Chevrolet Traverse Hybrid.

Now that we’ve seen the “new” 2025 Toyota Carmy, it’s time to talk about the next-generation Lexus ES sedan. And, as you can see from the top photo, it will also look very much the same as the current model. Back in late 2021, Toyota and Lexus showed us a huge number of upcoming models… Continue reading 2026 Lexus ES.

Lucid just released a few teaser images of their new Lucid Gravity SUV. We saw the really cool-looking concept back in September 2020, or over 3 years ago. We will finally see the production version this week. (actual deliveries are still a year away). So far the teaser photos show a very impressive-looking interior, which… Continue reading 2025 Lucid Gravity
