2016 Tesla Model X Debuts: Tesla’s EV Crossover Finally Spreads Its Wings
-It’s called the Tesla Model X, but it should probably be called “Elon’s Headache.” Behold, finally, Tesla’s two-and-a-half ton electric sport-utility vehicle that shows, in Elon Musk’s own words, that “I think we got a little carried away.” There are those much-ballyhooed “falcon wing” motorized doors with their multiple hinges and a brace of ultrasonic and capacitive sensors to prevent disaster; the self-opening and -closing front doors; the “monoposto” middle-row seats that put the middle passengers on stout, movable pedestals; a massive wrap-over windshield that necessitated the world’s most unnecessarily complicated sun visors; and a HEPA cabin filter that, says Elon, creates “hospital operating room cleanliness in the car.” READ MORE ››

Mazda Teases Sports Car Concept: Not a Miata, Hopefully Rotary-Powered
–
Okay, as much as Mazda’s announcement that it is showing off a mysterious “sports car concept” at the Tokyo auto show desperately cries out for someone, anyone to label the car the next RX-7, there’s no evidence to support that. Sure, the shadowy picture certainly appears to show a car that’s larger than the MX-5 Miata, and its taillights could echo those of the third-generation RX-7. But that’s only speculation.
–
–
Or maybe it’s not.
–
Mazda’s own CEO seemed to indicate no work on a rotary-powered sports car was underway last year, but maybe things have changed, and just look at the concept! It’s long, low, and has the potential to be impossibly gorgeous. From our limited perspective, the mystery show car resembles the result of a tryst between the Maserati Alfieri and the Miata. But that’s not necessarily a surprise, as every vehicle Mazda’s designers have turned out in the past three years has been attractive.

What’s perhaps less obvious is that Mazda continues to work on the rotary engine, toiling away on the smooth-running, high-revving, pistonless powerplant design to make it return decent fuel economy and emissions. Has the company’s notoriously clever engineers finally figured out a way? Could this stunning concept car be the vessel to carry the rotary into the 21st century? Will we ever stop speculating about the RX-7’s resurrection? The answers to these questions may come as soon as the 2015 Tokyo show next month.

Honda Gets Suitably Weird with This Pair of 2015 Tokyo Show Concepts
–
Not to take away Japan’s achievements with regular automobiles, but the bizarre sub-automotive machines are our favorite things to see at the biennial Tokyo auto show. With this year’s Tokyo event less than a month away, we’re getting an early look at two such oddities Honda plans to debut there. No stranger to, uh, the strange, Honda is following up side projects such as Asimo the soccer-playing robot, the Uni-Cub, and others with the WanderStand and the WanderWalker. Both are concepts, and they’re sort of like cars in that they have wheels and Honda badges.

WanderStand
–
It has come to our wanderstanding—sorry, we couldn’t help ourselves—that the Wanderstand is a bit of a misnomer. Despite looking like some sort of mobile photo booth, occupants do not, in fact, stand up whilst it whirrs them about. Instead, there’s room for what appears to be two seated passengers in a tall box perched atop four faired-in wheels. The identical nature of the wheels could indicate four-wheel steering capability not unlike that of another bizarre Tokyo auto show concept from a few years ago, Nissan’s Pivo 3 (be sure to check out Pivos 1 and 2), but we’re just spitballing here. Beyond what we can see, Honda isn’t saying much about the WanderStand other than it “was designed to pursue the joy and freedom of mobility under the concept of the ‘WANDER = wander around freely.’ ”

WanderWalker
–
Again, Honda, the name “WanderWalker” makes no sense, especially when the vehicle it applies to isn’t, say, a directionless walker for the elderly and doesn’t actually involve walking at all. Come to think of it, that name—or at least the concept of a wayward self-propelled walker—doesn’t really make sense in any context. But enough about the name, what exactly is the WanderWalker? By our assessment, it’s the world’s fanciest mobility scooter, with a tablet-like gauge cluster, sleek body panels, and what appear to be a set of sweet tweels (airless tires and wheels in one). Again, no details surrounding the WanderWalker were given, but Honda says it “was designed to to freely maneuver among pedestrians.” Given how shackled the movements of regular mobility scooters are, this is good news.
