Mazda CX-80.
Mazda finally revealed the last piece of their “new models puzzle” with the European market CX-80. It is a 3-row version of the CX-60 but a bit shorter than our CX-90. At least unlike the North American CX-70 and CX-90, the European models are not the exact same cars. The CX-80 is indeed longer and… Continue reading Mazda CX-80.

2025 Hyundai Palisade.
As we already know, the 2025 Hyundai Palisade will get a much more angular design than the current generation. This is obvious when comparing the prototype to the current version above. From what we can see on the close-up shot of the roof and windshield, it could be getting more chrome too. Which is currently… Continue reading 2025 Hyundai Palisade.

2025 Toyota Camry.
Toyota has released official pricing info for the redesigned 2025 Camry. The “redesign” is modest at best, since the car is basically the same as the previous generation. A design dating back to 2017. The front end is new, and so are the rear lights. And for some reason, the rear side window is a… Continue reading 2025 Toyota Camry.

Future Alfas.
Yes, new Alfa Romeos are coming. In Europe, the new Alfa-Romeo Junior was launched a few days ago. However, this isn’t coming here. What we will be getting is a new Stelvio SUV next year and a new Giulia sedan a year later. Both will be based on the new STLA Large platform from Stelantis.… Continue reading Future Alfas.

Mazda 6e.
Mazda has released a second teaser for their all-new EV sedan, the Mazda 6e. It shows part of the front door. As we’ve mentioned before, the new Mazda 6e will be based on a car from Mazda’s Chinese and state-owned partner in China, Changan. The sedan is the Changan SL03. It’s hard to tell how… Continue reading Mazda 6e.

2025 Nissan Qashqai.
Look no further than the 2025 Nissan Qashqai to see what an unnecessary mid-cycle update looks like. The new front end is smoother and much, much more generic than before. With a giant grille that now covers almost the whole front of the car. At least to me, it also looks more like a Hyundai… Continue reading 2025 Nissan Qashqai.

Porsche “K1”.
K1 is the current code word for Porsche‘s upcoming large 3-row EV SUV. This will be one big top-of-the-line expensive EV. Another toy for millionaires. Regular humans will not apply. These new illustrations show what the big guy could look like. Which is basically like a larger and longer next-generation Porsche Cayenne EV. I’m not… Continue reading Porsche “K1”.

Honda Ye Series concepts.
Honda just unveiled a few “concepts’ that are actually close to production previews of new EVs for the Chinese market. Both the P7 and S7 are scheduled for the end of this year. While the GT is coming out before the end of 2025. Honda has already introduced the e:NS1 and e:NP1 in China in… Continue reading Honda Ye Series concepts.

Toyota Land Cruiser FJ.
It seems new illustrations of a possible more compact Toyota Land Cruiser called the “Land Cruiser FJ” keep popping up. As you can see above, they also often look like the silhouette we saw last year at the 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser launch. The car on the right is the future Land Cruiser SE EV.… Continue reading Toyota Land Cruiser FJ.

BYD Denza Z9 GT.
The name is quite a mouthful, but this is basically BYD’s new top-of-the-line EV. BYD has made headlines around the world for becoming the world’s largest EV manufacturer in 2023 ahead of Tesla. It is also selling its BYD Seal sedan in Europe as a competitor to the Tesla Model 3. And is again making… Continue reading BYD Denza Z9 GT.

New VW Passat sedan.
Just when you thought the VW Magotan sedan was the new replacement for the Passat sedan, VW came out with an actual new Passat Sedan. Although unlike the new Passat wagon we saw a few months ago, the new Passat Sedan is for the Chinese market only. And none of these, sedan or wagon, will… Continue reading New VW Passat sedan.
-
Cadillac Optic Interior.
These new photos of the 2025 Cadillac Optiq interior look a bit better than the ones I posted earlier. Although that blue-colored trim still doesn’t feel really upscale. Maybe it is some “sporty” trim that matches the exterior color? The silver trim seems to work better. It still reminds me a lot of the Chinese… Continue reading Cadillac Optic Interior.

ACURA TLX Type-S test drive.
The Acura TLX Type-S main event is the wonderful new 3.0 Liter V6 with 355HP. Outside, it’s really not that different from the other TLX versions, especially the A-Spec trim. For 2024, Acura has slightly redesigned the front end. So slightly that only current owners will be able to tell. And a few car-obsessed nerds… Continue reading ACURA TLX Type-S test drive.

Future Lincoln & Cadillac sedans.
Back in 2012, the Tesla Model S shook the luxury sedan world. And by 2017, it was outselling the Mercedes S-Class in the US. In 2021, the Lucid Air came out. Again, shaking things up with a fantastic design and amazing range. Lincoln has had nothing like a true luxury sedan since the death of… Continue reading Future Lincoln & Cadillac sedans.

Mazda 6e?
Mazda just dropped another teaser for their upcoming all-new EV sedan for the Chinese market. The new sedan will be based on Changan’s SL03 model. Changan Automobile has been Mazda‘s partner in China since 2012. It looks like the Mazda version will have a different rear end since the teaser shows different lights than the… Continue reading Mazda 6e?

Kia EV3.
Of course, the interior of the upcoming Kia K3 compact EV will be toned down quite a bit from the really good concept we saw last year. Still, it seems many design cues might have made it into the translation to a production car. It looks like the center console was indeed inspired by the… Continue reading Kia EV3.

Xpeng P7 convertible.
It looks like Chinese manufacturer Xpeng will be releasing a 2 door convertible version of their P7 EV sedan. While it looks like so many other new Chinese sedans, the P7 came out almost 4 years ago. The clean design is still modern and like any other EVs these days, it is available as a… Continue reading Xpeng P7 convertible.

Mazda CX-80.
Mazda first launched the new CX-60 in Europe. Then the larger 3-row CX-90 in North America. Later we got the CX-70, which is just a 5-seat version of the CX-90, for the exact same price. Now they are launching their 3-row SUV for the European market, the CX-80. It sounds overly complicated because it is.… Continue reading Mazda CX-80.

2026 Toyota Starlet.
There is a weird rumor from Japan about a new generation Toyota Starlet coming out in a year or two. The Toyota Starlet was produced from 1973 to 1999 over 5 generations. It was later replaced by the Toyota Yaris. The 2nd generation Starlet (1978 to 1984) was sold in the US. It seems Akio… Continue reading 2026 Toyota Starlet.

Ford new EVs.
While Ford is pushing back a year some of their large EV projects like a couple of 3-row SUVs and another electric pick-up, they are hard at work on a brand new EV platform that will be much cheaper to produce. Cheaper is the key for EVs these days. With recent discounts up to $8100… Continue reading Ford new EVs.
