While these new illustrations are very well done, they also seem completelly wrong. Jaguar‘s all new EV sedan will not look like this. At all. And it is already pretty obvious from the many, many spy shots we have seen of prototypes driving around for at least a year now. The profile view of an… Continue reading What Jaguar’s new EV sedan might look like. Or not…

Hyundai recently revealed the all-new Hyundai Ioniq 3 just a few days ago, and I was actually pretty excited about this new compact, potentially affordable EV.

We all know the good old Ford Motor Company is getting ready to launch its all-new EV architecture, reportedly called the Universal EV Platform.

Lexus is getting ready for a mid-cycle facelift for the NX Compact SUV. The 2027 model will receive a new front end and slightly revised rear end. Maybe a few small changes to the interior as well. It will actually be pretty minor stuff. Especially for a model that is almost due for a new… Continue reading 2027 Lexus NX preview.

No, a big two-door Lincoln coupe isn’t expected anytime soon—but it’s the weekend, so why not dream a little? Dream about a new, big, luxurious 2-door coupe from Lincoln. A new Mark IX. Something unique, with no apologies, lots of chrome, and retro design cues. The Lincoln Mark series ended with the Mark VIII in… Continue reading What If Lincoln Brought Back the Mark Coupe as a Sleek $80K EV?

Hyundai has already unveiled the production version of the Venus Sedan Concept. A concept we just saw a few days ago! The car is now called the Hyundai Ioniq V. I guess that’s a V and not a 5. And for better or worse, its design will probably influence every new Hyundai model from now… Continue reading 2027 Hyundai Venus V: the Future is Now.

Nissan has just revealed a new concept for the Chinese market. Reviving the long-dormant “Terrano” nameplate in a way that feels both nostalgic and forward-looking. So far, this is the official word: “The Terrano PHEV Concept marks the return of an iconic nameplate. Equipped with the latest plug-in hybrid technology, the Terrano builds on Nissan‘s… Continue reading New Nissan Terrano PHEV Concept Revealed: Is It Related to the Xterra?

Ford has been hard at work on its new mid-sized EV pickup truck. You know, the one based on that brand new “low cost” Universal EV platform. It is still supposed to start at under $30,000.

Cadillac is preparing a second-generation CT5, and the timing couldn’t be more critical. As we already know, it will be joined by an all-new Buick sedan.

After six years on the market,… Continue reading Cadillac’s Next CT5 Could Save Its Sedans. Or End Them

Nissan released the first official photos of the all-new 2027 Rogue just a few weeks ago. And now we get our first look inside.  While very clean it also seems a bit more generic than the previous model. With the usual flat double screen so many are using these days. It also doesn’t look as… Continue reading 2027 Nissan Rogue interior revealed.

The Lincoln Town Car disappeared in 2011, but the idea behind it never really died. A modern version could absolutely revive that classic big and soft American luxury sedan. Although the traditional buyer base is aging, limousine fleets have largely moved on to big SUVs. What most buyers didn’t want was something like the 2017… Continue reading The Lincoln Town Car Could Return. But Not the Way You Expect

Cadillac bringing back the Eldorado would only make sense if it embraced its heritage. Which it should. This isn’t a car that should morph into some futuristic, egg-shaped blob. The Eldorado was always big, bold, and commanding, and that’s exactly what a modern version should be. A gig American 2 door coupe with no appologies. Right… Continue reading Cadillac Needs This Car Back. And It’s Not Another SUV

The next-generation 2027 Hyundai Elantra is already generating plenty of buzz, and there have been many illustrations guessing what it could look like. Today, we add one more to the collection.

Luxury masterpiece or overdesigned mess?

I’m not fully convinced yet, but it’s getting harder to ignore the possibility that the Toyota Celica could be making a comeback within the next year or so. That said, what we’re seeing right now might not be related at all. The images circulating online a while ago did show a new Toyota race car prototype undergoing testing for… Continue reading 2028 Toyota Celica comeback rumors grow after new Rally prototype appears.

A few years ago, back in August 2024, Ford announced it was canceling its upcoming three-row EV project, which was a real shame at the time. They also announced a strategic shift toward hybrids, signaling uncertainty around large EV investments. That was, of course, before the development of the all-new Universal EV Platform we’re now… Continue reading Meet the EV Ford never built. But should have.

Inside, Nissan has done a great job… Continue reading New Nissan Leaf road test.

This prototype was spotted in Los Angeles a few days ago. And it strongly suggests we’re looking at the next-generation BMW X5. The test vehicle was heavily camouflaged, but already looks pretty familiar. We’ve also seen many spy shots of the next BMW X5 already, so this not a huge surprise. The current fourth-generation model… Continue reading Next-Gen BMW X5 spotted in Los Angeles. Early look at 2027 redesign
