Spy Shots

These photos aren’t new. They are from over a year ago. But it’s pretty easy to notice the car way in the back. Some semi-covered clay model. Or so it seems. People are now speculating it could be the next-generation Nissan Maxima. Reborn as an EV. I’ve been thinking for years that Nissan’s only hope… Continue reading 2024 Nissan Maxima EV: could it be?

MG, an old British brand that was known for cool sports cars will probably end up being the first one to come up with a soft top convertible EV. The Cyberster doesn’t really look like an old MG. And MG isn’t the “old MG” anyway. Since it belongs to the Chinese manufacturer SAIC.  Still, this… Continue reading MG Cyberster: new teasers…

  The new small Jeep Jeepster EV will apparently look exactly like the concept we saw a few months ago. Which wasn’t a real concept but a preview of the production model. (The only difference I can see is the black paint on the hood of the concept) It is rumored to be based on… Continue reading 2023/24 Jeep Jeepster: Vs. the “concept”…

 As expected from the teasers, the all-new 2023 Toyota Crown looks like the patent designs we saw earlier. A raised-up large hatchback sedan that will be marketed as a cross between a sedan and an SUV. Early specs also mentioned a 2.4 Liter Turbo or a 2.5 Liter Hybrid. Which sounds exactly like almost all… Continue reading 2023 Toyota Crown: early official photo…

 We’re not learning much from this about the upcoming Toyota Crown. Except that we are now pretty sure it will have headlights. And at least one version will be offered with a  black hood. Otherwise, that big black grille does look pretty fake already and filled up…

Just like the Civic, the next-generation Accord will be a cleaner design than the current model. Although, unlike the Civic, it looks like the Accord will still have some personality. I still really like the current design. The new one seems a lot softer but still looks really good, at least to me. Especially since… Continue reading 2023/24 Honda Accord: Vs. the current generation…

Not sure if this is brand new, but I hadn’t seen it before.  The top pic actually shows most of the front end of the next-generation Hyundai Kona. As we’ve seen before, the whole thing seems more angular. And these lights and that front end in general do remind me of the new Kia Niro. … Continue reading Next-generation Hyundai Kona: showing its face…

  Well… It looks like these patent designs published a few weeks ago was the real thing after all. I mean everything matches the new teaser photos. Right down to the weirdo 2-tone paint job. The lower part of the hatch might look a bit strange in black. But at least, it’s glossy and not… Continue reading 2023 Toyota Crown: teaser pix Vs.patent designs…

Little by little, the heavy camouflage is coming off the redesigned 2023 Hyundai Grandeur. The upcoming luxury sedan will blend retro and futuristic design cues. And so far, this really looks good. As I mentioned before, I really an EV version of thing this and the Hyundai Staria van would be great additions to the… Continue reading 2023 Hyundai Grandeur: new spy shots…

This short video gives us very little. Although what we see does match the illustrations and patent designs. Which again, reveals a drastic change to the Crown model. Going from an old-timey super conservative RWD sedan to some FWD-based tall fastback car.  And also, returning to the US.  The reveail is on the 15th. But… Continue reading 2023 Toyota Crown: official teaser video…

 Apparently;y, Volvo is thinking of replacing both the S60 sedan and the V60 wagon with a new model called C60. Which could be a raised hatchback sedan. Something similar to the new Peugeot 408 and others in Europe. And the upcoming Toyota Crown in the US and Japan. Interesting how all of a sudden, this body… Continue reading 2023/24 Volvo C60: teaser…

 This illustration from Carscoops does look really nice. This is probably the last guessing work we’ll get before seeing the real thing next week. Which should be really close to this, if the patent drawings published a while ago were real. It’ll be interesting to see if a raised-up large hatchback sedan from Toyota will… Continue reading 2023 Toyota Crown: new illustration…

 Since the real thing is coming out next week, I assume this will be the last illustration we see of the 2023 Toyota Crown. This time it seems they’ve taken out most of the black plastic trim. On the hood, sides, and hatchback. Which does make the car look a bit more upscale.  Again, this… Continue reading 2023 Toyota Crown: another illustration…

 After so many spy shots, this is the best look we get of the new 2023 Hyundai Grandeur front end. Which matches many illustrations we’ve seen before. And resembles the super cool Staria minivan as well. And of course, both EV versions of these models would look great as part of the new Ioniq lineup.… Continue reading 2023 Hyundai Grandeur: new spy shot…
