Meet The Neue BMW Concept, Same As The Old BMW Concept
Meet The Neue BMW Concept, Same As The Old BMW Concept-September 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..

Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG: The Jalopnik Review
Mercedes has decided that America won't accept the same A-Class small hatchback that anchors their lineup around the world.

For $3,985, This Custom 1988 BMW 750iL Is A Wide Load
Oh what a world we live in when even the most plebeian can potentially afford a V12-powered luxury sedan. Today's 750i is just such a twelve for the masses, although its custom body will assure that you still stand out. Do you remember your teen years, that time in your...

For $15,995, This 1984 Hurst Olds Cutlass Might Still Be Sharp
Built to commemorate the original, today's Hurst/Olds isn't your father's Oldsmobile. That is, unless it just so happens that your father was wicked cool in the '80s, then it just might be. Will this one's present price however, make papa proud? Despite some questionable mods made in its restoration -...

Did you know that the Eagles started out as one of Linda Ronstadt's back-up bands? If you don't know who Linda Ronstadt is then maybe today's Eagle will additionally have you asking AMC what? That doesn't mean you still can't get familiar with this '80s flier. Terrible then, terrible-ier now....
