Gerry McGovern introduces the Jaguar Type 00 and rebrand in Miami, Fla. in 2024.

What do we know so far about Gerry McGovern’s departure from Jaguar Land Rover?

Gerry McGovern, OBE’s surprise sacking from Jaguar Land Rover—with no comment from the car maker—must go down in history as one of the more shocking departures, up there with the Carlos Ghosn arrest or Lee Iacocca’s firing. Autocar India theorizes it was over the Jaguar rebrand—not whether the resultant car will succeed, but the way… Read More »What do we know so far about Gerry McGovern’s departure from Jaguar Land Rover?

Promotion time

Appearing on a back cover somewhere in the Gulf: The promotions continue … naturally we’re proud of this cover as well as design concept, showcasing Autocade Year of Cars to a new audience. Thank you, Mark Dixon at Octane, for such a fine quotation.

Keep the US truck out of Europe

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

Six model lines completed

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.

Out now: Autocade Year of Cars 2026

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

Autocade reaches 5,500 models

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

A more modern turn

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
