Chevrolet Cruze Hatchback – Paris debut
Chevrolet are showing the Chevrolet Cruze Hatchback at the Paris Motor Show before it goes in to production mid 2011. Chevrolet are trying hard in Europe. Last year we saw the launch of the Chevy Cruze in to Europe – before even the US got it – and we recently reported on the Chevrolet Orlando […]
Aston Martin Cygnet – now there’ll be an electric Cygnet too
Having already gone mad by Aston-ising a Toyota IQ, Aston Martin have lost the plot and are planning an electric Aston Martin Cygnet.

Toyota Verso S – Paris Debut
Toyota will be launching a mini MPV – the Toyota Verso S – at the Paris Motor Show next month. It always seems like something of an oxymoron – mini MPV – but there really is no other way to describe Toyota’s new B-Class MPV – the Toyota Verso-S. Unfortunately, this release by Toyota is […]
Mercedes SLK (2012) Undisguised
We have spy shots in of the next generation SLK – the 2012 Mercedes SLK – which show a car with a new nose, reshaped flanks and tweaked back end. Considering we’re not actually expecting the next generation Mercedes SLK to hit the roads until 2012 – although it will surface in 2011 – we’ve been […]
