If you've been eagerly awaiting the fourth-generation Mitsubishi Outlander, today is your lucky day. Mitsubishi finally has a debut date for the 2022 edition: February 16, 2021, and the venue will be an online video on the Mitsubishi Motors North America's YouTube channel. That's still three weeks from now, but that channel has a teaser video of the the new SUV in action.
The Honda Odyssey minivan is losing its in-car vacuum for the 2022 model year. The Drive reported the loss of the HondaVac first, learning that Honda had to nix it because the supplier who provided the vacuum went out of business.
We asked Honda for confirmation of the news and comment, and a spokesperson sent this in response: "The timing of model year introductions varies from model to model for a number of reasons, some of which are out of our control. We pulled forward the introduction of the model year 2022 Odyssey primarily due to the discontinuation of the HondaVac feature in the Odyssey Elite at the conclusion of the 2021 model year based on a supplier issue."
Unveiled at CES 2020, and road-tested in Austria in 2021, the Sony Vision-S looks ready for series production. And yet, the Japanese consumer electronics giant said it's not planning on leaping into the automotive industry.
"At present, we have no plans to mass-produce or sell the vehicle. With mobility expected as a major megatrend into the future, we're exploring how Sony can contribute in a meaningful way to the era of autonomous driving," a company spokesperson told Car & Driver. Note that the statement stresses there are no current plans to build the Vision-S or something like it. It does not fully rule out moving into the EV segment in the coming years.
Renault will further expand its electric vehicle family with a new zero-emission supermini inspired by the iconic ‘5'.
It seems Toyota’s been having a busy week, as in the span of less than seven days not only have we gotten to see the upcoming GR 86’s bumper design, but it’s now been revealed that the company has re-filed for a trademark on the Celica name.
Few cars have caught the attention of car enthusiasts quite like the Toyota GR Yaris and in just a couple of weeks, we'll be putting one through its paces during a one-week test.
We tend to think of Subarus as outdoorsy all-wheel-drive machines lined up at your local trailheads and REI parking lots these days, but the first Subarus to sell in the United States were tiny, cheap commuter cars. Through the 1970s and into the 1980s, even as increasing numbers of Subarus got optional all-wheel drive (American-market Subarus didn't go 100% AWD until the 1996 model year), most Americans continued to think of those Pleiades-badged machines as little tin cans too small even for sex. By the early 1990s, the little Justy was the final holdout for bargain-basement Subaru econoboxes, and most of the ones I find here in Denver are the slightly-more-desirable four-wheel-drive versions. Here's a rare late-production front-wheel-drive Justy, found in a yard halfway to the Wyoming line.

Spanish coachbuilder Hurtan rivaled Mitsuoka in the eccentricity department by introducing the Grand Albaycin, a Mazda MX-5 Miata-based roadster with a design that tilts heavily towards the retro side of the scale. Carmakers often frown on aftermarket tuners rebodying their models, but this convertible earned Mazda's nod of approval.
Founded in the 1980s by Juan Hurtado, Hurtan specializes in giving modern cars that look that wouldn't be fully out of place in the 1950s, and the Grand Albaycin is no exception. Eagle-eyed car-spotters will detect the Miata genes by looking at the windshield frame, but most of the sheetmetal has been redesigned. Squint, and you'll notice the front end is loosely inspired by the Jaguar XK120 built from 1948 to 1954. Swoopy front fenders create another visual link between the two roadsters, but the Grand Albaycin's back end is not as tapered as the Jag's.
Having launched the C-HR GR Sport for the European market last November, Toyota is now accepting orders for it in the United Kingdom.
We’ve been covering Spain’s latest sports car for a little more than a week now, and we finally have uncovered, uncamouflaged pictures of the car and, well, it’s certainly a look.
