World’s First and Only Isuzu D-Max Concept X Could Be Yours for the Right Price

By Bill Smith February 11, 2026

Isuzu Australia unveiled the D-Max Concept X in 2018 as a highlight drawcard at the National 4×4 Outdoors Show, and it all started with a pretty casual chat at a 4WD event, when someone spotted these enormous tires and thought, “we’ve gotta take it to the extreme,” which eventually turned into two seriously over-the-top vehicles, one D-Max Ute and a MU-X SUV, but only the D-Max is still kicking. You can now find the D-Max advertised for AU$65,000 on my105.com in Welshpool, a Perth suburb in Western Australia, which is AU$14,000 less than the top-of-the-line D-Max Blade, which costs AU$79,000.

By Bill Smith January 27, 2026

Nissan engineers thought it would be a good idea to explore a concept that combined electric mobility with renewable energy. They chose the Ariya, an all-electric crossover noted for its silky smooth performance and ample interior capacity, and added some solar panels to it. This concept vehicle stands out because it has solar cells all over the hood, top, and rear, and you can’t tell they’re there because they don’t interfere with the elegant lines that make the Ariya so sleek.

Lexus Revives the LFA Name with an Electric Supercar That Honors the Past

By Bill Smith December 4, 2025

Lexus revealed the LFA Concept BEV Sports Car tonight in a way that felt like a wink to the fans who refused to let go of the original. This elegant, two-seater coupe runs entirely on batteries, a far cry from the roaring V10 that powered the 2010 model, but it has the same obsessive concentration on balance and the driver’s relationship to the vehicle.

Öznur Pınar Cer and Danilo Petta, both designers with backgrounds in architecture and engineering, created this revolutionary bike.

Genesis Draws a Line in the Sand with the Magma GT Concept

By Bill Smith November 20, 2025

Genesis took the covers off the Magma GT concept at a 10th anniversary party in the sun-kissed curves of Le Castellet, France, that felt more like a formal announcement than a true event to commemorate a decade in business. This mid-engined monster is Genesis’s boldest try yet at constructing a pure sports car, a two-seater that has quietly hinted at track days and twisty backroads equally, and the concept itself gives a pretty strong clue that Genesis aims to field its own entries at the GT racing level.

2027 Toyota Corolla Concept Teased, Reborn in Sharp Edges with a Futuristic Touch

By Bill Smith October 30, 2025

Toyota unveiled a Corolla Concept that most certainly stands out at the 2025 Japan Mobility Show in Tokyo. Sharp creases run over the body, 21-inch Y-spoke wheels fill the arches, and a full-width light bar illuminates either end. The rear fender haunches flare purposefully, while the falling beltline sweeps to slender side mirrors. Frameless windows offer an air of sophistication that is uncommon in tiny sedans. Three gasoline caps – two in the front and one in the back – allow this car to be driven in a variety of ways.

By Bill Smith October 29, 2025

At the 2025 Japan Mobility Show, Mitsubishi unveiled the Elevance Concept, a rugged SUV with a trailer that turns into a whole campsite. You tow a small pod behind the vehicle, then watch as it unfolds into a bedroom, kitchen and even a shower space, all powered by the SUV’s battery; no tent or cooler required (at least not once you arrive).
