Another year, another round of fake stories, all in the name of April Fool’s Day. Our top prank was the North American version of Kia’s K9 flagship, which we renamed to 9’Series after we crafted in a double kidney grille from BMW to make it look…less like the Bavarian firm’s sedans.

We also played along with MINI’s “ingenious” Camper trailer and optional roof tent creations, and the $236,000 Cooper Yachtsman amphibious vehicle, as well as Planet Subaru’s, blazingly fast solar-powered Tribeca crossover.

We hope you enjoyed our postings and had a good laugh, and we renew our April Fool’s Day rendezvous for next year.
