Lexus gives the GX a new face and a lower price

This LUV (Luxury Utility Vehicle), as Lexus calls it, has a completely new front end that follows the same design found on other recent models of the Japanese brand, a redesigned rear bumper, and the the rest remains pretty much the same. The interior has not been forgotten and received several enhancements.

Ferrari reveals the 458 Speciale. Doesn't name it Stradale or Montecarlo

And what a machine this is. The 458 Speciale has the most powerful atmospheric engine ever produced by the Italian brand. The 4.5-liter V8 generates an impressive 605PS (445kW or 597bhp) @9000rpm and 540Nm (398lb/ft) @6000rpm, allowing the car to accelerate from 0 to 100km/h (62mph) in 3 seconds and will take 9.1 seconds to reach 200km/h (124mph) from standstill.

Official: Meet the facelifted Audi A8 and S8 [Video]

This small redesign greatly improved the appearance of the top of the range Audi. The front now features a squarer grille, a new hood, a redesigned bumper, and the innovative Matrix LED headlight technology that was heavily promoted over the past weeks. At the back, Audi changed the bumper that now includes two rhomboid tailpipes (except S8), and the LED tail lights have become flatter.

First official images of the Opel Monza Concept appear online [Updated]

Our good friends from Russia did it again. For the hundredth time they reveal the official images of a car before its official presentation. This time its the Opel (or if you prefer, Vauxhall) Monza that got to be leaked ahead of its official reveal which was scheduled for the Frankfurt Motor Show next month.

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.
