BMW's strategic pivot towards BEVs in the coming years may spell the end for the conventional ICE-powered BMW 4 Series due to model consolidation in preparation for the much-anticipated Neue Klasse BEV lineup. Sighting internal sources, BMW Blog reports that "there are currently no plans to develop a CLAR-based BMW 4 Series” when the 2-door Coupe/Cabriolet and 4-door Gran Coupe models come up for replacement; a decision that “dates back to when the (battery) EV market appeared highly promising,

Seen here in this grainy spyshot is the rumoured Lexus UC – an upcoming coupe from Lexus that shares its underpinnings with the recently-launched Toyota GR86 and Subaru BRZ. Looking at this lone spyshot and you can just about see the signature Lexus spindle grille, flanked by slim headlights that are reminiscent of the updated-but-not-sold-in-Malaysia Lexus RC coupe. According to Japanese sources, the forthcoming Lexus UC could be positioned as Lexus’ entry-level coupe, below the Lexus RC. After

Early April, we saw the covers lifted off the all-new 2021 Toyota GR86 and its development twin, the equally-new 2021 Subaru BRZ. Apparently, that's not enough for Toyota, so they're developing a Lexus version too.

I’m thinking of this as I look at the official photos of the latest G80 M3 and G84 M4. Some might think the vertically extended kidney grilles leave a sight for sore eyes, especially on t

What is the future of the Toyota 86 and Subaru BRZ? Commonly referred to as the Toyobaru twins due to their shared development, it seems that the future of this model hangs in the balance after being abruptly discontinued in July. The current-gen Japanese coupe has been around for eight years, first breaking cover in August 2012. Sure, it’s been a long time coming, but after its discontinuation and lack of news from the carmakers themselves, fans have been wondering if they’ll ever see another c

Reactions to the 2020 BMW 4 Series have been controversial to say the least. But here we have a rendering of a “normal” looking 4 Series, with design elements taken from the BMW M8. Personally, I think it looks rather good. The massive vertical grille is replaced by a smaller, more aesthetically pleasing grille which looks nearly identical to the M8’s. The front bumper also appears to be taken from the M8 albeit with some touch-ups. And voila. A subjectively better looking 4 Series, but also gen
