The Volkswagen XL1 – a super efficient diesel hybrid – caught on video winter testing and undisguised.

We have a few new photos of the new 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe ahead of its debut at the New York Auto Show. We always thought that Hyundai would bring their entire range in to line by giving the replacement for the Santa Fe the Hyundai ix45 moniker. But that’s not the case. We asked […]
Citroen DS9 (which we thought was the Citroen DS6) uncovered
The new range-topping Citroen DS (which is probably the Citroen DS9) has been photographed undisguised in Paris. Just a few days ago we published a tease photo for a new DS Citroen, which we expected to be the new DS6. But there now seems to be some doubt if that is the case. The new Citroen is certainly […]
