Let's face it, RVs have always been the automotive equivalent of that relative you have to invite to your wedding but secretly hope they get sick. They're slow, clunky, white boxes that cause traffic jams on the highway and look like they were last designed in 1978. But Honda, the company that gave us the best lawnmowers, F1 engines, and that weird Motocompacto folding scooter, has decided enough is enough. They've introduced the Honda Base Station. And guess what? For the first time in my life, I want to hook up a trailer to a hitch.
Electric mobility
For 62 thousand, you get a technological "blitzkrieg" that accelerates faster than you think and drives better than the competition. But beware: this car will tell you to your face that you are actually... redundant as a driver. This is the Tesla Model Y Performance (Juniper) 2026.
Most electric cars these days look like smooth soaps that were pulled too quickly from the wind tunnel. The Kia EV2 is different. It's bold, adorably boxy, and full of character. But before you fall completely in love with its Lego face, take a look at its back. We need to have a serious talk about this.
Let's face it, Lexus is a brand for people who order room temperature water at a restaurant. They're reliable, comfortable, and as quiet as a librarian in slippers. But every now and then, something strange happens in the basement of a Toyota factory. Engineers apparently break into the sake cabinet, watch too many episodes of "The Fast and the Furious," and create something that makes no sense at all, but is also absolutely fantastic. Introducing the Lexus RZ 600e F SPORT Performance. A car that looks like it wants to beat your Tesla on the school playground. And guess what? It might even succeed.
Porsche has announced a drop in profits. And not the kind of "statistical error" drop, but the kind that sets off alarms in boards of directors and quiet panic among shareholders. They may be drinking tranquilizers in Stuttgart, but the real trauma is actually taking place in Slovenian living rooms. Why? Because for the average Slovenian, Germany is still the promised land. It is our industrial "Father", our model of order, discipline and engineering superiority. If Porsche falls, if the symbol of German power falls, then our worldview is also shaken.
Most electric cars have the charisma of a white-goods car. They're efficient, quiet, and save the planet, but when you step on the gas, you feel like you're driving a very expensive hand blender. Boring. And then there's Mate Rimac. A man who looked at the laws of physics, frowned, and said, "No thanks." The Rimac Nevera R Founder's Edition is not a car. It's an engineering excess wrapped in carbon fiber, designed solely to make rich people scream in horror and delight at the same time.
The selection for the Slovenian Car of the Year is a special event every year, a kind of Slovenian Oscar, except that the audience is smaller and the catering is more homely. When I looked at the list of five finalists for 2026 – Audi A5, Dacia Bigster, Hyundai Inster, KIA EV3 and Renault 5 – I asked myself: Is this really the pinnacle of engineering or have we simply become dangerously undemanding? Here is an analysis without any fluff. I have scoured the dark corners of the internet, checked the facts and I will be completely direct. This is a record that importers may not print and frame, but you must read it. So - Slovenian Car of the Year 2026.
If you think car designers are just quiet artists in black suits drawing lines in the basement, you're wrong. At least not in the case of Gorden Wagener. He was a rock star. The man who took Mercedes' hat off and put on its sunglasses. But on January 31, 2026, that era is coming to an end. After 28 years and countless scratches on the clay (and probably on the egos of his competitors), Gorden Wagener is leaving Stuttgart.
Jaguar has done everything it can to make us hate it in recent months. With strange logos, advertising campaigns that look like a fashion show for aliens, and a promise not to "copy anything." But before we write off this British icon as a victim of its own marketing, let's pause. Underneath all that "woke" glitz, there's a monster. A three-engine monster that will tear up the asphalt faster than the Internet can tear up the nerves of purists. It's the Jaguar Type 00.
My dear petrol romantics, manual transmission lovers and those who still claim that "electronics in a car just die" - I have bad news. While you were still debating in 2025 whether diesel has a future (spoiler: it doesn't), the world moved forward. And not just moved - it jumped. Reports coming out of the US about the latest Tesla FSD v14 (Supervised) update are not just technical news. They are an obituary of driving as we knew it. And if you think I'm exaggerating, you're probably still using a Nokia 3310.
Volkswagen is like that friend who is always late to a party. Everyone is already there – Tesla dancing on the table, the Chinese have already eaten all the chips, the French are flirting with the waitress. And then, when everyone is a little tired, VW enters. A little out of breath, with a shirt that is not completely ironed, but it brings with it the best beer and homemade sausage. The VW ID. Polo is exactly that. It missed the start of the electric revolution in the toddler segment, but now that it is here, it looks like it will take over the whole show.
At first glance, this is the kind of car your grandmother would drive to church on Sunday. It looks cute, nostalgic, and completely harmless in its Marathon Blue paint. But when the driver steps on the pedal, there's no such thing as the characteristic roar of an air-cooled boxer engine. There's silence, smoke from under the tires, and acceleration that should be illegal.
