In this ‘Christmas cracker’ our in-house writing team reflects on major motorshow launches, highlighting both concept and production cars that caught their eye.

The job market was active as ever, too, with some significant career moves that could change the direction of several brands – did any take us by surprise?

We also consider some of the broader trends that have become apparent in the world of design, and what we’re looking forward to in 2026 both at CDN and across the industry.

Join us for the most casual of reports on this year in car design – and there may also be some special guests to boot.
