If you’re like me, you love the McLaren 650S and have been dreaming of waking up with one in your driveway. Unfortunately, though, this was not the case today … and probably won’t be the case anytime soon.

Delightfully for us, McLaren released an app for my fellow dreamers and me that allows users to design his or her own version of the 650S.

McLaren’s newly launched app, the McLaren 650S Design Studio, allows users to select paint, wheel, and exterior carbon fiber options. After users have gone through every paint from British Racing Green to Grape Purple, they can choose whatever background location they can think of to place the car. While we motoring enthusiasts dreams of owning a supercar, I reckon the last thought we have is what our dream supercar will look like sitting in a driveway in suburbia.

App users will also be able to adjust lighting and reflection options, so they can be totally sure the McLaren they dream about looks good at every part of the day.

Images of dream McLarens can be uploaded to social media via McLaren’s Facebook or Twitter pages using the hashtag #MyMclaren. Images that McLaren finds as its cup-of-tea will be uploaded on the official McLaren website for all to enjoy. The tablet app will be available for both iOS and Android operating systems today.

I don’t know about you, but I now know what I’ll be doing the rest of the day.

The Kia EV3 could be the cheap electric SUV we’ve been waiting for

White Kia EV3

The Kia EV9 was already one of the cheapest ways to get an electric SUV, but now the company is taking things to the next level. After teasing the Kia EV3 last year, the car is now official.

The EV3 is built to be a slightly smaller, cheaper version of the EV9 -- following the path of the Rivian R2, which arrived after the Rivian R1S. It's certainly not as technologically advanced as the EV9, but it still looks unmistakably like a modern Kia, and is clearly a sibling of the larger SUV. On the outside, the vehicle has the same split taillights and very similar Tiger Face front. But it is quite a bit smaller. The vehicle will be available in nine finishes -- however only "Aventurine Green" and "Terracotta" are being announced right now.

Kia EV3: release date, performance, range, and more

White Kia EV3

Kia is on a roll. Hot on the heels of the success of the Kia EV6 and EV9, the company is already announcing what could be its cheapest electric vehicle yet -- the Kia EV3.

The Kia EV line seems to follow the rule of lower numbers indicating a lower price — and if so, the EV3 will end up being the cheapest electric car Kia has released to date. That, however, thankfully doesn’t mean that the EV3 will be a low-end car — it just means that Kia may be pushing the boundaries on electric car pricing.

Kia EV3 vs Tesla Model Y: Can Kia’s new entry-level car take on Tesla?

White Kia EV3

The Kia EV3 is finally coming, and it could well end up being the best small-size electric SUV to buy when it finally rolls out. It's smaller than the Kia EV9, but it offers many of the same design elements and features. But there's another small-size electric car that's currently one of the most popular vehicles out there -- the Tesla Model Y.

How does the Kia EV3 compare with the Tesla Model Y? And is one vehicle actually better than the other? We put the Kia EV3 and the Tesla Model Y head-to-head to find out.

The design of the Kia EV3 is very different than that of the Model Y, though they're both reasonably good-looking vehicles.
