The original Lincoln Versailles from the late 1970s was Ford’s attempt to take on the hugely successful Cadillac Seville. Introduced for 1977, the Versailles never received the same warm reception as Cadillac’s smaller luxury sedan. Still, it appears Lincoln had plans for a proper second generation. One that would finally move the car away from… Continue reading The Forgotten 1980s Lincoln Versailles That Almost Happened.

After years of little more than a redesigned minivan front end, we finally have a few real hints about Chrysler’s future.

However, the production model will reportedly look quite different… Continue reading Chrysler Airflow SUV Finally Revealed as Big Comeback Begins

After the massive success of the first generation Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird, GM was ready for a second act starting in 1970. That second-generation F-Body went through constant changes and redesigns all the way to 1981, evolving almost every few years while still keeping the same basic platform alive. It became one of the… Continue reading 2nd Generation Camaro & Firebird Come to Life.

Apparently, Dodge is also working on an all-new compact model aimed at bringing younger buyers back into the brand. The new model would obviously be related to the upcoming Chrysler Pronto. The best part is that Stellantis might finally be serious about expanding Dodge beyond expensive muscle cars and large SUVs. That alone could be very good news for… Continue reading Dodge Also Preparing a Cheap New Compact Model Under $30,000

The new Mercedes AMG GT sedan is what happens when things go too far. Everything here is overdone and looks like it was designed by a 14-year-old car nerd living in a trailer park. However, if you can see through all the excess, the basic design is actually not that bad. The overall shape is… Continue reading New Mercedes AMG GT Sedan Looks Pricey and Cheap at the Same Time.

Just like we did with the Mustang a few days ago, let’s take a look at what the Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird could have been if GM had chosen different designs.

For years, we’ve been hearing rumors about a smaller Land Rover model inspired by the Defender. So far, it’s mostly been referred to as the “baby Defender,” since no official name has surfaced yet. (Maybe Defender Sport?) But it turns out the project is still very much alive. As originally planned, the new compact SUV… Continue reading “Baby Defender” EV May Finally Take On the Rivian R2.

Until the new GV90 SUV comes out, the Genesis G90 sedan remains the true flagship of the Hyundai Motor Group.

Several camouflaged prototypes have… Continue reading 2027 Genesis G90 Could Adopt Stunning GV90-Inspired Design.

While Honda was busy previewing the next-generation Hybrid sedan, Acura quietly showed the upcoming Acura RDX. Interesting timing since the company had just canceled the all-new Acura RSX only months before production. From some angles, the new design could easily pass for a Mazda, Toyota, or even one of the many new SUVs coming from China. There is very… Continue reading 2028 Acura RDX Shares More Than You Think With The Next Accord.

With around 17,500 sold last year, the Nissan Armada is a pretty rare sight in the US. At least where I live. It is a Japanese alternative to much more popular giant American SUVs like the Chevrolet Tahoe and Ford Expedition, which is quite a tough spot to be in. Let’s see if it offers… Continue reading Nissan Armada Road Test: Big SUV, Old Fashion Rough Ride.

These new images of the Honda hybrid sedan prototype strongly suggest that it is indeed the next-generation 2028 Honda Accord. The proportions, wheelbase, and overall silhouette all seem much closer to a midsize sedan than anything related to the Civic. As we already know, the “prototype” is not a true hatchback, even though it clearly… Continue reading Is This the 2028 Honda Accord? Honda’s Future Hybrid Sedan Revealed

Over more than six decades, the Ford Mustang has gone through many styling changes across seven generations. While we’ve all seen the production models, we rarely get a glimpse at what almost happened. Until recently. Over the years, only a few blurry black-and-white photos of rejected clay models and abandoned concepts had surfaced. But these newer images… Continue reading Rare Vintage Ford Mustang Prototypes Show What Could Have Been…

The next-generation 2027 Hyundai Elantra is right around the corner, and we have already seen many illustrations guessing what it could look like.

One thing all these illustrations have in common is a totally… Continue reading 2027 Hyundai Elantra Will Be a Huge Design Shift.

The new image shows what the redesigned Hyundai Tucson might look like for 2027. No matter what, it will be a giant departure form the current generation… Hyundai has become very unpredictable when it comes to design. Unlike Kia, which tends to evolve a consistent and recognizable look across its lineup, Hyundai gives each model its own… Continue reading New 2027 Hyundai Tucson Will Shake Things Up.

This is a short video showing what could happen if some old cars returned as brand-new models. Like a new Chrysler Imperial or even a modern AMC Gremlin.

Cadillac previously announced it would extend production of the current Cadillac XT5 in the U.S., while preparing a new generation for 2027 as a 2028 model.

The new PHEV… Continue reading Cadillac Adds a Hybrid to the XT5.

Apparently, Chrysler is working on an all-new model called the “Pronto.” In a surprising move, the company already showed prototypes of the new car at a dealer meeting a few months ago. The best part is that Stellantis is apparently not killing the Chrysler brand after all. That alone is encouraging news for longtime fans who feared… Continue reading New Chrysler “sub-$30,000” Pronto Could Completely Reinvent the Brand

While Honda was showing the next-generation Accord Hybrid, Acura previewed the next-generation RDX. Since, you know, they canceled the all-new RSX month before it was supposed to come out. The RSX was actually not supposed to replace the RDX, and Acura had mentioned a second generation RDX a few months ago. The new SUV looks… Continue reading 2028 Acura RDX Hybrid preview.

After spending billions in developing new EVs and killing them before they came out, Honda must have scared investors. Especially after mentioning there might be nothing new before 2028. Now they are showing us a future new Hybrid sedan. Which is probably the next generation Honda Accord. For a while it seemed we would see… Continue reading The 2028 Honda Accord Already Has a Big Problem
