And here it is, the 300PS Volkswagen Golf R


This didn't take long. One day after Volkswagen showed the first teaser, the new Golf R gets its official reveal. And it is a little bit disappointing. I know Volkswagen has a very conservative approach to their cars, but the new R is in the top of the range in the Golf lineup and deserved a more aggressive styling. But i will let you comment on the darkened LED headlamps and tail lights, redesigned bumpers, and the new 18-inch wheels (with optional 19-inch wheels).

STI shows the Subaru BRZ tS. This makes us sad


Seems that the car teased some time ago by Subaru isn't that special version we weren't waiting for, but instead it's the regular version with a few new parts. We were hoping for a sportier version, possibly turbocharged, with a large increase in power to make this car even more fun to drive, but we can hope the near future will bring that car, for now, meet the tS.

Official: Mercedes didn't reveal the GLA, but a Spanish website did it for them


Several hours after Mercedes revealed the first video teaser, a Spanish news site revealed the official pictures of the GLA and a lot of information. Based on the A-Class platform this small SUV (it is 4420mm long, 1800mm wide and 1500mm high) is one of the most aerodynamic in its segment, with a drag coefficient of 0.29.

2014 Skoda Yeti got leaked! Doesn't look special like the previous model


Once again our Russian friends have posted on their page the first official images of the redesigned Skoda Yeti. One of its distinguishing characteristics were the fog lights, which were placed in an elevated position, close to the headlights (they now have LED DRL). Unfortunately, it seems they are now placed in more normal, lower position on the bumper.

Official: Meet the 2014 Hyundai Elantra, also known as Avante


Last week, Hyundai teased the upcoming 2014 Hyundai Elantra (Avante if you live in South Korea) with just a dark picture of the front and nothing else. Today, we finally are able to see how the car will look like for the South Korean market, with the exception of the interior.

Honda gives us a "glimpse" of the new Civic Tourer [Video]


Honda decided to give us the first look of the new Civic Tourer on a Saturday night, which is a bit odd. But who cares, what matters is that you have here what look to be the production version of the new Civic station wagon. Much is said about the aesthetics of this truck, how it is sleek and sporty, but it is up to you to say what you think.

The new Ssangyong Korando C doesn't look that bad


Gone are the times when Ssangyong made the ugliest cars you could find on the road, and the latest Korando is a proof of that, still keeping in mind concepts shown by the South Korean company like the SIV-1 and the LIV-1. The Korando C features several exterior and interior modifications, resulting in a better looking vehicle.

Official: First images of the Hyundai i10! More coming soon


Called Grand i10 in India, the new Hyundai i10 got an early reveal in that market, possibly ruining the European public presentation that was going to take place at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The main difference between them is that the European version will be shorter and will have LED day running lights (DRL).

Lamborghini unveils the Gallardo LP 570-4 Squadra Corse


When we were all waiting to see a replacement for the Gallardo, which is supposed to be called Cabrera, Lamborghini decides to reveal a new, and possibly last version of the Gallardo called LP 570-4 Squadra Corse. This new car is based on the Gallardo Super Trofeo race car, while the name "Squadra Corse" refers to the division within Lamborghini’s R&D department dedicated to motorsports.

This time it's official. Here's the BMW i3


A week ago, you saw here for the first time, images of the production version of the new BMW i3, but only now the German car manufacturer decided to completely reveal its new electric car. The presentation took place at the same time in London, New York and Beijing, since these are some of the cities in which this car will be more used, due to heavy traffic.

Here's the car with which Citroen will participate in the WTCC. It's the C-Elysée


We already knew Citroen was going to participate in next year's World Touring Car Championship (WTCC), they even announced it last month, but until now we all thought it would be the DS3 that was going to take in this series since we saw it being tested. Now, it seems that isn't true, Citroen will use the C-Elysée instead.

Official: First images of the 2014 Seat Leon ST


The Spanish brand had announced that it would present this new version of the Seat Leon tomorrow, July 23, but as usual, the first images appeared one day before, spoiling the surprise or possibly creating a bigger excitement. Nothing much is known but the ST (sports tourer) version of the Leon looks better than I thought.

Official: Meet the new Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG with a 5.5-liter V8 biturbo


Mercedes and AMG just revealed what they call the "most powerful high-performance saloon in the luxury segment", a car that, according to the German brand, will set new standards in terms of driving dynamics, lightweight construction and efficiency. So what does this new S30 AMG have that makes it so special?

The return of Datsun culminates with the presentation of the GO [Video]


I was expecting a little more from the return of this iconic brand but it seems Nissan didn't want to put a lot of effort to it, so they pretty much added a few new parts to the Nissan Micra/March and called it a brand new model with a name inspired "by the first Datsun, the DAT-GO, launched almost a century ago in Japan".

Meet the new BMW Concept Active Tourer Outdoor


Besides the Goodwood Festival of Speed, this weekend we also have the OutDoor Friedrichshafen fair in Germany, and BMW will take advantage of this meeting to introduce its latest concept, the Active Tourer Outdoor. This plug-in hybrid is a bit misleading. The name "Outdoor" brings us to a vehicle destined for other types of roads, perhaps more uneven, but that's not it.

Suzuki shows the new Swift 4x4


Suzuki already sells the 4x4 Swift in Japan as well as in several European Countries including Germany and Switzerland, but with the recent facelift, it is time to reveal the updated Swift 4x4 and bring it to the United Kingdom. Sales start this month but you only have one engine option, a 1.2-liter unit mated to a manual transmission.

Opel/Vauxhall Insignia Country Tourer is the last family member to get a refresh


Opel has put the finishing touches on the Insignia Country Tourer and introduced it to the world today. The public presentation, on the other hand, is scheduled to take place at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September, with prices and equipment details being revealed together with the world premiere in Frankfurt.

Ford presents the all-new F-150 Tremor. Comes with a EcoBoost engine


Ford describes this pickup as the "first-ever EcoBoost®-powered sport truck that addresses the needs of street truck enthusiasts looking for high-performance V8 power with V6 fuel economy". But this bothers me, associating fuel economy with a vehicle so large, makes no sense.

Fiat introduces the new Brazilian Idea


The Fiat 500L replaced the Idea in the European market, but this mini MPV is still sold in some markets, like Brazil. Yet, like all cars, it was time for a little refresh, and that is exactly what the Italian car manufacturer did to the Idea. They made a few changes to the car's interior and exterior, and more equipment.

Official! Here's the 2014 Citroen Grand C4 Picasso. We already saw it here [Video]


Like its younger brother (C4 Picasso), the Grand C4 Picasso was spotted on the road several times before the official presentation, so the look of this seven-seater MPV was already well known. The front remains similar to the smaller version, with a few small changes, but the rear suffered bigger modifications so it could have room for an extra row of seats.
