In Autocade Year of Cars 2026, the mutual recognition deal between the US and the EU was mentioned—though we could have underestimated its severity on the bases that Europeans were unlikely to opt for huge US trucks that are impractical for their roads, too expensive to run, and a danger to others around them. This… Read More »Keep the US truck out of Europe
After a heavy period working on the release of Autocade Year of Cars 2026, we’re back on updating the main reference site, where a few model lines were completed: the Subaru Forester, Audi Q3, and Audi Q5. The Porsche Macan, Audi Q6 and Škoda Kodiaq saw their second generations go up (and therefore they are… Read More »Six model lines completed

I’m very glad to say that we’ve soft-launched Autocade Year of Cars 2026, with the motoring press being notified soon. Like all good journalism projects, I wrote stories on things I didn’t know about but wanted to pursue. When did BMW grilles get all so confusing? The Bugatti Tourbillon was previewed in 2024, but I really… Read More »Out now: Autocade Year of Cars 2026
The Autocade stats are showing, since the counter reset a few years ago, 18,359,220 page views. Add that to the 27,647,011 we had previously, and we’ve passed the 46 million mark, at 46,006,231. We’ve successfully blocked many new bots and “AI” scrapers, checking in on our visitors daily. It’s sad that this has become a… Read More »Autocade reaches 46 million page views
The next Autocade Year of Cars will have a top 10 table. We looked at sourcing the numbers from Focus2move, as we originally did for the full-year 2024 table, but their summary (at the time of writing; this page appears to change) did not hold water once we began investigating the rankings themselves based on… Read More »This year’s global top 10, to September 2025
Proof once again that the milestones aren’t always planned, we reached 5,500 with the unlikely Fulwin T6, the plug-in hybrid version of the Chery Tansuo 06. As far as the Fulwin line-up goes, it’s one of the more interesting shapes, being more avant-garde than the T8, which really is a Chery Tiggo 8 with a plug-in… Read More »Autocade reaches 5,500 models
One of the lesser known Chinese brands, Kaiyi, is now online on the main site. You may know it as Cowin, the budget brand spun off by Chery in 2014. Not unlike Jetta, the brand that Volkswagen spun off from a model line in 2019, Cowin was tasked with selling obsolete Chery cast-offs, and Autocade… Read More »A more modern turn
The Autocade logo has changed, and we’ll reveal more in due course. It hasn’t been done just because of æsthetics, though after 17½ years it was probably time for an update.
Recently completed on the main site: the entire history of Leapmotor (not hard considering the firm is only a decade old) and the Dongfeng Yipai (eπ) sub-brand (only two models, the 007 and 008). The BMW X3 and iX3 nameplate and model pages are also complete. We are still seeing some odd traffic patterns, even… Read More »Leapmotor, Dongfeng Yipai up
