Meet The Neue BMW Concept, Same As The Old BMW Concept
Meet The Neue BMW Concept, Same As The Old BMW Concept-October 2024

Last week, BMW unveiled its latest concept: The Vision Neue Klasse, an angular, modern sedan that teases a new design language for the brand’s electric lineup. The Neue Klasse is sleek, striking, and... familiar. A little too familiar.

Remember the ? The Neue Klasse is pretty much just that, with some light tweaks to bumpers and lighting. It’s less a brand-new vision of BMW’s years to come, and more a light tweak on the last time we saw a concept with this look. To refresh your memory, here’s the i Vision Dee:

The lights don’t quite wrap around the front and rear end as much as on the Neue Klasse, the windows are a slightly different shape, and the bumpers lack that black plastic around the bottom, but the rest of the car is very similar. Let’s throw them together, in one image, to see what else has changed:

The Neue Klasse appears to have a slightly shorter front end and longer rear than the Dee, though it’s possible there’s a slight difference in the angle from which both cars were rendered or photographed. The Dee’s windows are a little softer around the edges, and its door ends before the rear fender rather than integrating it. Its character line, running the length of the car, is also softer than the Neue Klasse, though its bright yellow pinstripe makes it stand out more.

Both cars look good, eschewing modern overstyling for something simpler and more classic, but they’re also clearly the same idea. The Neue Klasse isn’t a revolution on this design, it’s a refinement. Which could mean that these concepts are a real hint at a future production model, rather than a pure flight of fancy..

The 2019 Honda Passport Is A Solid Casual Adventure SUV
The has been heavily marketed as . In reality, it can’t really do anything other small-medium SUVs can’t, but it’s a well-designed vehicle. If your expeditions are mostly around town and on the highway with some dirt miles in the mix, it’s hard to beat. (: I asked Honda’s...

The problem with the second one was that it might be cursed. The problem with the first one was that it might be perfect. I finally got to drive two 1990s Toyota Crestas, dream cars of mine never originally sold in the United States, in the hopes that they’d...

At $26,995, Is This Rare 1994 Alpina BMW B3 3.0/1 An E36 We’d All Pine For?
At $26,995, Is This Rare 1994 Alpina BMW B3 3.0/1 An E36 We’d All Pine For?
Today’s Alpina is a grand cheaper on the dealer site than in its Craigslist ad, proving the value of Sherlockian sleuthing. No matter where it is, it’s wicked cool, but could its flexible price make it even cooler still? Do you like escargot? When prepared right, they are delicious—garlicky,...

The 2019 Acura MDX's Best Attribute Is Also Kind Of A Curse
It’s tough to climb out of the 2019 Sport Hybrid with complaints. The vehicle’s very smooth, comfortable and easy to use. But its simplistic interface, which makes the SUV a standout in user-friendliness, also breaks the spell of opulence that makes luxury cars appealing in the first place. (:...
