Honda Files Trademark for ADX, Hints at Future Acura Electric SUV

 

   It seems the Honda franchise is finally making steps towards mainstream electric vehicles, as they have filed a trademark for "ADX" which is expected to be the name of an Acura EV SUV. Although it seems the ADX will be an electric, based on past comments on upcoming Acura EVs, it is also possible that it finds it's way to a Honda HR-V based crossover. Honda has struck a deal with General Motors that will mean that the powertrain will be developed by GM. It is likely that the ADX, electric or not, will share parts with the Acura RDX and MDX. Additional details and a full reveal are expected in the coming weeks and months. 

Next-Gen Mini Cooper Leaked - First Look Reactions

 

    

While the overall car isn't drastically different from the current Mini Cooper, there are quite a few stylish elements that add a lot to the complete look, which I think makes this a 9/10 in exterior styling. It still has the iconic shape, but adds sleek taillights, a cool grille outline, and nice illuminated headlight outlines. Let me know in the comments what you think of the new Mini! Is it a hit? A Miss? Something in between?

Coolest Interiors for 2022

 A lot of people fret about the exterior designs, and I'm not going to dispute that, but, in reality, the interior is where you spend the time, and if you have a well-done one, then driving will be a lot more enjoyable. Let's hop into 5 of the coolest interiors for 2022. 

#5 - GMC Hummer ev

The gorgeous chrome-white-black 3-tone interior was always going to find itself on such lists, and with the Hummer EV, General Motors have likely created their most luxurious and comfortable vehicle ever, and the sleek interior contrasts well with the tough/futuristic off-road oriented exterior. 

#4 - bmw m3

Switching over to a dedicated sports car, the BMW M3 has a incredibly well-done interior with terrific seats, a better-than-average infotainment screen, a well-designed while uncluttered wheel, beautiful blue leather, and, oh yes, a manual. I'm sure we all know what the M3 looks like on the outside, with a super controversial gaping grille covering the fascia, but there is no denying the interior is one of the best.

#3 - Porsche Taycan 4s

Germany is the home of automotive luxury, and that is no exception in 2022. The likes of Porsche, Mercedes, BMW, Audi, and others continue to astound us with their impressively appointed interiors, and the tech found on the infotainment systems are also a high point. Porsche does all this wonderfully, and the electric Taycan 4S is a prime example. 

#2 - Acura rdx a-spec

By almost $100K, this is the cheapest car on the list, but it still hold it's own remarkably well. The Honda-sourced tech is solid as usual, the transmission incorporation is well-done, the gorgeous red seats are comfortable and stylish, and there is an abundance of space, something that many other sports crossovers can boast. 

#1 - Kia k900

If you haven't consumed much car media in the last 3 or 4 years, I have some news for you: Kia has gotten quite a bit better. As in, probably the best brand in the world. The exterior designs are sleek and attractive, and the interior are insanely luxurious for the price, with some of the best tech in the industry found in the likes of the Kia K900. Kia has always been a value-based brand, but never so much as now. This car you see on the left is only $51K and can compete with 6-figure Audis with no significant differences in quality. The whole lineup is able to do such feats, so the top spot goes to Kia.
