Fun with configurator: Lucid Air Vs. New Tesla Model S
The Tesla Model S seemed like a good deal in the luxury EV market. Until last week… Since the price jumped $10 000 when the interior was finally updated. I thought it would be fun to compare what you get from Lucid for about the same price. I didn’t price the basic Air model.… Continue reading Fun with configurator: Lucid Air Vs. New Tesla Model S

2022 Cadillac CT-5 V Blackwings
Cadillac is finally coming up with a real replacement for the “old” CTS-V. Based on the CT-5 sedan, it is now called the CT-5 V Blackwings. This is confusing, it doesn’t use the real Cadillac Blackwing engine that was introduced (and killed) with the CT-6 sedan. This will, again, use the 6.2 Liter engine.… Continue reading 2022 Cadillac CT-5 V Blackwings

2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5: new pix…
While still under camouflage, you can really see the final shape of the new Hyundai Ioniq 5 EV. This is, as mentioned earlier, an homage to the early Hyundai designs (Excel) from Ital Design. ( I actually wonder what Giugiaro thinks of it). We will see the whole thing in just a few days…

2022 Kia EV: new illustration…
This is a new illustration of what Kia’s all-new EV could look like. The new model is due out later this year. A few months after its platform cousin, the Hyundai Ioniq 5. It will definitely be a very different looking car. This new illustration does look pretty close to the spy shots we… Continue reading 2022 Kia EV: new illustration…

2022 Nissan Pathfinder: new teaser…
Nissan released a new teaser for the all-new 2022 Pathfinder. I couldn’t help but noticing the similarities with last year’s Infiniti QX60 concept. This is expected, since the production version of the QX60 and the new pathfinder are closely related. The new Rogue looks really good in person. And I am sure it will be… Continue reading 2022 Nissan Pathfinder: new teaser…

New Tesla Model S interior: with a regular steering wheel…
This photo is officially from Tesla and was available on their site (not anymore). Showing that at least for a while, they were considering a normal steering wheel option for the redesigned Model S interior. Tesla got tons of press about the new interior. But mostly about the stupid new “steering wheel”. Which, I… Continue reading New Tesla Model S interior: with a regular steering wheel…

2022 Honda HR-V: new teaser pic…
The new Honda HR-V will be unveiled soon. As the Honda Vezel, in other markets. Our US version will come out a bit later. You can see that despite the more angular design, it will keep the same type of hidden rear door handle. At, in some markets, it will be available with a giant… Continue reading 2022 Honda HR-V: new teaser pic…

Ford Equator: new pix…
The new Ford Equator is a classic-looking SUV for the Chinese market… Somehow, it reminds me a bit of the Cadillac XT-6. But better. The exterior has more personality, and the interior is much more modern. And actually seems more luxurious. Although it has 3 rows of seats available, it is about 6 inches… Continue reading Ford Equator: new pix…

Tesla Model S new steering wheel: is it real?
it seems that a few car journalists actually think the new “Yoke” steering wheel in the refreshed Tesla Model S is not real. That somehow, it is just on these computer-generated illustrations. But will not make it to production. I unfortunately think they are wrong. The photo above was taken directly from the Tesla website,… Continue reading Tesla Model S new steering wheel: is it real?

2022 Genesis EV: a look inside…
We can’t see much yet. It just looks like the usual “super widescreen behind the steering wheel” set up. Which is fine. By looking at recent Genesis interiors, I am sure this will probably be quite nice. And look! It has a full steering wheel!

2022 Mini Cooper: a few changes…
Mini just revealed the Cooper and Cooper S for 2022. With quite a bit of change. As you can see, the front end is new. While the rear isn’t that different. the interior received small changes as well. And you can finally now order an adaptable suspension system. Which could make the Mini a bit… Continue reading 2022 Mini Cooper: a few changes…

Tesla Model S refresh: finally…
I have always been a fan of the Tesla Model S. And, as I was mentioning just a little while ago, I think the design is still fresh. But, like most people, I always thought the interior was quite a letdown for a luxury sedan. Lately, the Model S has become a pretty good deal… Continue reading Tesla Model S refresh: finally…

2022/23 Cadillac XT-5: first look?
Cadillac’s big news lately has been the announcement of the all-new Lyriq electric SUV. And recently, we have seen teasers for the n upcoming Celestiq sedan. Another EV. But for years, Cadillac’s best-selling model has been the XT-5. With over 49 000 of them sold in 2019. Which is still fine, but almost 20 000… Continue reading 2022/23 Cadillac XT-5: first look?

Hyundai Ioniq 5: more pix…
Just a few details. But so far, this could really turn out to be a designer’s dream. The details we have seen so far are pretty amazing. The only (big) mistake is the Hyundai logo. That just shouldn’t be there. At all. Otherwise, I cannot wait to see the whole thing. Next week…

Tesla Model S refresh: more blurry shots…
Even though Elon Musk said (in 2019) that a Model S and X refresh was not coming. It looks like it is after all… Tesla has been busy testing the super sporty Plaid version of the Model S. Which is supposedly a bit wider. (I think the photos above are of that Plaid model).… Continue reading Tesla Model S refresh: more blurry shots…

2022 Alfa Romeo Tonale: new illustration…
This new illustration of the upcoming Alfa_Romeo Tonale looks pretty realistic. Obviously based on the 2019 Concept (bottom pic), it seems it could be really close to the production version. Not sure why, but it seems the Tonale has been taking forever to reach production. As it is now scheduled for a late 2021 introduction.… Continue reading 2022 Alfa Romeo Tonale: new illustration…

2022/23 Ford Escape/Kuga: new illustration…
The illustration on top shows what the upcoming mid-cycle refresh for the Ford Escape (Kuga in Europe) could look like. I think it doesn’t look as good as what we have now. The super angular grille/headlights don’t match the rest of the car at all. I think the real thing will end up looking… Continue reading 2022/23 Ford Escape/Kuga: new illustration…

2022 Mazda CX-50: new illustrations…
I think these look great. This would be a great looking update from the current CX-5. The all-new CX-50 is due out as soon as late this year. Replacing the CX-5. And as we know, it will be the first model to use Mazda’s new RWD platform. (followed by a new Mazda 6 sedan and… Continue reading 2022 Mazda CX-50: new illustrations…

2022 Kia Sportage: new illustrations…
These new illustrations do show a more mature design than some other guesses we have seen before. Still. This would not be an improvement over the current, and still really nice looking, generation. That huge plasticky front grille is just a nightmare. Let’s hope the real thing looks much better…

New Volvo EV coming out this year: illustrations..
There have been rumors for years of a new “sub- XC40” Volvo model coming out. A while ago, it was rumored to be a compact wagon. Then an “SUV Coupe” version of the XC-40 (bottom pic). Now it seems the new car will have its own design. And it will be an EV only model.… Continue reading New Volvo EV coming out this year: illustrations..

New Kia logo: king size…
We have seen Kia’s new logo before. But on this new Stinger, it does look pretty huge. And almost weird. I am not sure there is such a large amount of “Kia pride” around. It does look better than the old one. But to have the logo that large is just too much for… Continue reading New Kia logo: king size…

2022 Porsche Taycan Grand/Sport Turismo: a look inside…
It looks like the wagon version of the Porsche Taycan will have quite a bit of wood trim inside. Which actually looks really nice. Otherwise, the interior looks the same as the sedan. Except for that cheesy gold trim on this particular car. Not sure how much of a premium the wagon body style… Continue reading 2022 Porsche Taycan Grand/Sport Turismo: a look inside…

2022 Mercedes C-Class wagon: new spy shot…
Just like the sedan, the next-generation Mercedes C-Class wagon already looks clean and classy. (if uninspired…) Unfortunately, the C-Class wagon has not been offered in the US for years. And things probably won’t change anytime soon. (making so much more money selling us bigger profit margins SUVs) Unless they come up with a raised up… Continue reading 2022 Mercedes C-Class wagon: new spy shot…

2021 Buick Envision: metamorphosis…
I just found out that the new generation 2021 Buick Envision is actually currently for sale. Dealers already have them. It is really too bad Buick didn’t make a bigger deal out of this. (no reviews yet?) I test drove the “old one” a few years ago and was pretty impressed. It was a very… Continue reading 2021 Buick Envision: metamorphosis…

2022 Buick Enclave: first official pix…
Since Chevrolet updated the Traverse a while ago (it has since been pushed back as a 2022 model), it is logical to see its platform cousin, the Buick Enclave, get a revised design as well. I think the Enclave is one of the best looking 3 rows SUVs out there. And the 2022 changes do… Continue reading 2022 Buick Enclave: first official pix…
