Headline: MOZA and the Lightning
Welcome new Italian car brand MOZA to the ro-automotive community. The new Blender-built brand has a luxury SUV in the works with a plug-in hybrid powertrain.
The company did have a brief controversy with it's lightning inspired logo which has been called similar to IRL brand Polestar's and the famed Swedish car maker Elektrisk.
We have been given no insight into the release date. The company is headed by President jamths and Vice President Kadicuss.
We'll keep you updated on more news from the new company.
Zanic Gears Up For Newer, Better, Stellaris
If you were here during the summer or so, you'll remember the Zanic Stellaris, the company's first sedan, which had a extremely bad tune, a barebones interior, and a polarizing design.
The company has made a new teaser for what could be the Stellaris, refined and redesigned to be a better car. The photo below was captioned "A not-so-legendary legend returns."
From this teaser alone, we can see that the next Stellaris will be significantly improved. The new sedan also has answered this question: is it the next generation or a mid-cycle refresh? The answer is the latter, as not long after this we got the debut video of the two newest cars from Zanic: the Stellaris II and HD32-TC!
The new Stellaris II will be featuring a massively improved design with a new headlight look from the old, quite weird one. The fit and finish is also seen to have been done better, making it more polished.
Meanwhile, the massive land boat the HD32-TC is something indescribable. Is it a car carrier, is it a construction vehicle? CarBlox is bound to cover this vehicle more extensively
Both automobiles were filmed without an interior, emphasizing the fact they are deep in development still. Both cars have no confirmed release date.
2023 Bravado Delado
If the poor attempt at a pun wasn't able to tell you anything, the now 2023 Rovero Bravado, the upcoming coupe from the Quo Automotive sub-brand, has has it's model year set a year ahead, from 2022 to 2023. To quote Rovero CEO MXZBRO:
"Update on the Bravado, since it’s delay has been unfortunately long, the model year will change from 2022 to 2023 seems pretty dumb but we just had to because of all these delays, we are so sorry for anyone still expecting the car soon, most likely won’t release until the entire Rovero team is ready for it, which could be any day now or maybe later on next year, again I’m sorry for this but we will try our best to get the Bravado out as soon as possible!"
So, as MXZ said, if you're expecting the Bravado (you know I am, not only literally part of CarBlox's original Industry Digest , it's stunning to look at) then prepare to wait a year more. We'll keep you updated on any more information regarding the delays
PIO NFT
The renown British luxury car maker Performace International Operations or P.I.O/PIO made a surprising press release detailing the launch of PIO's NFT portfolio. The company is possibly dead serious, with a profile on Rarible and everything.
There's two, PIO Trifecta Grille, featuring the company's signature grille design and PIO in Modern Cool, which is the PIO logo in white Furtura Book font with a light green to blue gradient background.
PIO has made interesting products in the past, ranging from it's sausage rolls and food to it's high power water gun the DynamicSprayer to even arcade machines at IAS and nukes. But this takes it a step further, outside the ROBLOX marketplace.
The Trifecta Grille and Modern Cool NFTs cost 0.069 Ethereum and ~0.001 Ethereum respectively and are "one of a kind".
Personally, I feel this is a joke that has been taken to the next level, and CEO Wooper is making a point about NFTs being quite ridiculous.
But if you are for some inexplicable reason interested, the collectables have yet to be sold and are still available as of writing this.
SoFlora - Copycat Accusations
It seems there's more accusations of copying being thrown when AzumaKyle's company Flora released their CrossPower E+, an electric car that has an eerily similar look to Solara's, well, entire lineup until the Blender made sedan, Yokomuki, and newest Mycro.
People pointed this out in the reactions to the announcement post, and someone made a controversial statement all brick cars (that are just boxes and rectangles with no thought or original ideas, like the CrossPower over here) are bound to look the same.
The CEO has NOT made a statement regarding the design. CarBlox will update you if the company says anything or pulls a Telestar when it released the dollar store PIO Ixander and remains wordless.
Rejoice, Rokuta is Back!
Remember Kuzumi, the former Quo brand turned separate company? Well, they just dropped two new teasers for their next car, the Amethyst. While the Kuzumi Axium turned Rokuta Eden is still in development, the company is apparently working on a new midsize sedan.
We know absolutely nothing about this car, and there's not much I can add here.
There is also the chance this IS the Eden, and the name was changed again.
Venus is Not Dead
If you needed any assurance, Venus, the "V" in EVA (Espila Venus Automotive) is anything but dead, only quiet. The company dropped a video of the upcoming SUV we saw from the Espila subsidiary at Inspiration Autoshow back during the summer along side the friendly reminder.
We got no other information in the announcement
UniQuiet
For the past few months, UniQ has said nothing on it's upcoming models. UniQ CEO v3terann agreed to tell me why the company has said nothing since the Origala delays.
When I asked him where UniQ is, he responded with this, quoting:
"We were supposed to have the Origala out by now but after a long time of back and forth decision making and discussing we’ve decided it needed a redesign due to all the cosmetic issues with appearance and to give it a sportier and much more high quality look. Then the Maskarada (Aeromaster) concept has a production version being slowly but surely evolved from the concept as of right now.
The Nathan is yet to be discussed about. There’s a lot of different designs with that in the process. Basically that’s it and at this point the Origala has a chance of being out by this year if everything works out smoothly in the long run. So to answer the question, “Where is UniQ ?”, well I’d put it as we are behind the curtains making the future."
This means it's likely UniQ will not release any of their upcoming models until 2022-23, and that the delays will go for longer than most anticipated. Currently, only SEGment and Uemuki CEO 4rotr has an Origala, so if they will take it back and give her the redesigned one or let her keep it is unknown to us here at CarBlox.
I recommend remaining patient, since life's busy and the UniQ team will also have quite the workload

We've had this ad slot thing open for months and besides Quo, no one has even acknowledged it's existence.
PIO making NFT is REALLY ridiculous, don't they know about one of Roblox's constitution that states to NOT make off profit from your game to offsite (ex: Preston's Pet Simulator X NFTs which lead to contraversies)
