Genesis X Coupe Concept: this is it...
"Voltswagen": WTF???
It actually took me a while to realize this wasn't a joke. I went directly to the official VW press site to see it was actually real:
-"US name change from Volkswagen of America to Voltswagen of America begins May 2021"
VW has a long history of weird moves in the US. Regarding both products and marketing. (Starting with the "revised US- built" original Golf/Rabbit) But this is by far the weirdest of all. And apparently (and contrary to what I have read on other sites) this is not a new sub-brand. But a new name for the whole US operation of VW.
-"Moving forward, "Voltswagen" will be placed as an exterior badge on all EV models with gas vehicles sporting the VW emblem only. Exterior and interior signage will soon roll out to all Voltswagen properties and dealerships across the US".
This, of course, raises a few questions. Among them:
- Are they out of their mind?
- Do they have that much money to waste?
- Shouldn't they use all that cash to fix the many cars they sold with defects they don't even admit?
- Why US only?
- Does that mean the few ID4s sold with a "Volkswagen" badge are instant classics?
- Should we expect "Auditron" or "BMEV" soon?

2022 Honda HR-V/Vezel: new useless pix...
2022 Acura RDX: a few (mostly) useless changes changes...
The Acura RDX will get a few changes for the 2022 model year. (We have seen camouflaged versions of this a few weeks ago)
It seems these changes will be few. Basically redesigning the front end just a little bit to make it look a bit more like the new MDX. Although it looks very close to the current model.
I don't expect big changes inside either. Especially not the strange infotainment. Since Acura is probably not ready to admit this is a big mistake yet. So probably no touch screen for a while. The only changes could be colors and trim. Like making sure the wood trim looks like the one in the TLX/MDX. etc...
And wireless CarPlay.
(Thanks to a reader for this)
