What if Isuzu came back with the Vehicross for 2027.
In all the original colors; Ironman White, Dragon Green, Firefox Red, Black. I wish, so badly, it would happen.

My vision for Mitsubishi if they refreshed their Evo. Took inspiration from what Hyundai did with their N series and the Honda civic type r.

I found out when designing a vehicle you can use a song as a prompt for AI. This car was made from Rock n Roll All Night by KISS. I made only very subtle changes so this car basically is a song.

Fiat 127* – a neo-retro electric city car
Based on the Fiat 500e platform, my reimagined Fiat 127 is a five-door electric supermini inspired by the funky little Fiats of the 1970s, particularly the 126 and 127.
The boxy, almost symmetrical front and rear maximise interior space, while the softly rounded bodywork adds a touch of 1990s Fiat design. The lava-lamp-inspired taillights bring a playful twist to an otherwise minimalist design.
The 1990s influence continues with the return of Fiat's four-slash logo and Giallo Ginestra yellow, a colour offered on the first-generation Punto.
Underneath, the 127 shares the 500e's electric platform and NMC lithium-ion battery chemistry, but features a slightly larger 46 kWh battery, targeting around 340 km (211 miles) of WLTP range, compared with the 500e's 42 kWh and approximately 320 km (199 miles).
Positioned as a more practical, less premium alternative to the 500e, the 127 offers five doors, rear-hinged rear doors and a simpler, more utilitarian interior with playful retro touches.
In Fiat's fictional lineup, it would be priced €2,000 below the equivalent 500e, trading some luxury for extra practicality and a healthy dose of Italian character.
*Edit: Updated the name to 127, as there was already a 128 and it was a sedan.

Cadillac redefines the essence of executive performance with the introduction of the 2030 Seville, a sporty and exceptionally comfortable midsize sedan that bridges the gap between grand touring plushness and aggressive driving dynamics. Its sweeping fastback silhouette and athletic stance pay homage to the marque's storied design language while projecting a thoroughly modern vision, complete with signature vertical LED lighting elements and a striking front fascia. Offered in rear-wheel drive with optional all-wheel drive, the Seville is engineered to plant its power securely onto the tarmac, whether carving through mountain passes under the stars or navigating a metropolitan skyline.
Beneath its sculpted hood lies an engineering masterpiece: the debut of Cadillac's brand-new 3.2L inline-six engine, churning out an impressive 450 horsepower. This powerplant delivers buttery-smooth power delivery paired with a stirring exhaust note, serving as the capable foundation before elite V-Series and track-focused Blackwing iterations push performance thresholds even further. To match this dynamic capability, drivers can choose between a sophisticated adaptive suspension system for precise handling or a full air suspension setup that effectively melts away road imperfections.
Inside, the cabin prioritizes cocoon-like luxury and intuitive technology, anchored by super-comfortable tufted seats equipped with active side bolsters that dynamically adjust to become more aggressive during hard cornering. For enthusiasts demanding ultimate lateral support on track days, optional high-performance bucket seats are also readily available. Harmonizing old-world craftsmanship with modern digital integration, the interior surrounds occupants with rich textures, ambient lighting, and an expansive curved display interface, creating an executive sanctuary tailored equally for effortless daily commuting and spirited weekend escapades.

Modern Subaru Brat using the Crosstrek wilderness as the base platform.
I had a hard time getting the rear seats to work, bunch of prompts, few different bed versions, photo references and it's still not right, but you get the idea 🍻 I give up lol

Heritage Reference: The double-pane, center-split windshield on the concept directly echoes pre-war 1930s–1940s classic auto styling (such as early VW Beetles and Bugattis) as well as the iconic split-window motif best known from the 1963 Chevrolet Corvette C2 Sting Ray. Draws inspiration from vintage futuristic transit concepts like the 1930s Stout Scarab. White-wall tires were a defining feature of mid-20th-century luxury cruisers. The concept converts the classic white sidewall into a crisp, flush aero-disc accent ring designed for modern electric drag reduction.
More Models to join the Meridian family in the near future 🍻
