Honda Accord Type R 2023.

Let’s say right off the bat that the Honda Accord Type R 2023 in the images illustrating this article are only renders by an independent designer.

There is no information that the Japanese manufacturer intends to release this car in reality today.

When analyzing the images, it becomes clear that the author of the renders compared the Accord Type R to the «hot» Civic Type R.

Here we can see a business sedan with new, cleaner bumpers and a radiator grille with an internal honeycomb pattern.

The air intakes on the front bumper are larger. The hood also received a large ventilated opening.

In addition, the car has extended front wheel fenders and enlarged side sills. Also in the side profile can be noted larger alloy wheels.

At the end of August, Buick Envista premiered at the Chengdu 2022 auto show in China.

Genesis GV70 2023. The car is better than it may seem at first sight: six months on the GV70.

When you start to get into the details, the Genesis GV70 is much better than it seems at first glance.

It feels like Korean engineers and marketing specialists have studied forums of the owners of German competitors for months to get the best from them and eliminate «shoals».

In many respects they have succeeded. The Genesis is finished inside with dignity and good quality. Eco leather is much more pleasant tactile than, for example, in Mercedes.

The trunk is roomy — with the folded seats it is no problem to put a bicycle with 29 wheels.

Excellent visibility, well and convenient little things like a button to open the trunk on the rear window wiper (like on the Porsche Macan) also please. But not everything is perfect.

For example, there is no independent heater, as in Audi, it means that when you sit in the car with the engine switched off you cannot switch on the air conditioner. On the passenger seat there is no memory in adjustments.
