THE MOST EXCITING CARS COMING IN 2024

EV Channels Review

The reviewer attended the Japan Mobility Show (formerly Tokyo Auto Show) with Nissan, highlighting a significant shift towards electrification and innovative concepts. Key takeaways include the Nissan Hyper Force concept, potentially previewing the R36 GTR, praised for its aggressive rear styling despite mixed reactions to its front end. The Mazda Iconic SP, a hybrid rotary concept hinting at a Miata successor, was lauded for its gorgeous styling and innovative powertrain. The show featured a strong emphasis on EVs and hybrids, with very few pure gasoline vehicles. The reviewer noted the prevalence of JDM-only models and the return of large, engaging manufacturer stands reminiscent of past auto shows. While many concepts were showcased, the reviewer emphasized that most were not production intent, serving instead to push design and engineering boundaries. The overall impression was one of excitement for future mobility, with a strong focus on electrification and diverse vehicle types not typically seen in the US market.
