2013 MERCEDES-BENZ A-CLASS: PRICES REVEALED!



Coming to a Mercedes-Benz dealership near you is the all-new A-Class hatch. And lucky you, we have all the Mzansi launch models, plus their prices!

CHEVROLET SPARK ELECTRIC VEHICLE DETAILED


Chevrolet’s Spark Electric Vehicle, which was revealed at last year’s Los Angeles Auto Show, is on its way to Geneva 2013. The little Spark that can does not run on petrol nor diesel, but uses what General Motors describes as its “most advanced electric motor and battery system”.

MERCEDES-BENZ A 45 AMG: FIRST PICTURES!






Audi and BMW, especially BMW, could be in real trouble with the new Mercedes-Benz A-Class, due here in South Africa in April. And if they are concerned with the A-Class, they should be even more concerned with the A 45 AMG, its supercar-killing “last number”.

MCLAREN P1 INTERIOR REVEALED




McLaren’s regular dose of teasers continue to slide in ahead of the company’s supposedly greatest ever road creation, the new P1 hypercar. While we were quite happy with some camouflaged shots of the car on the track, being offered these interior shots is like a dream and we gladly accept them.

PRODUCTION-READY ALFA ROMEO 4C IS A GO FOR GENEVA 2013




If Alfa Romeo wants to stay afloat they should ditch words like “limited edition”. Word is, the upcoming 4C coupe will utter such swear words soon after it appears at the 2013 Geneva International Motor Show early next month. Alfa should be trying to sell as many cars as possible, not limiting production.

2014 ROLLS-ROYCE WRAITH COUPE: MORE PICS



The Rolls-Rolls Wraith is the next car to wear this prestigious badge and it will be unveiled publically for the first time at the 2013 Geneva International Motor Show on the 5th of March. Wraith quite obviously, is another word for ghost, or phantom. Very creative of RR. What’s the next model, Spectre?

AWESOME AUDI RS 7 SPORTBACK IN SA SOON



What better way to start the week than to the news of Audi’s upcoming super car, the RS 7 Sportback. That’s right folks, the brand new hi-performance family lugger will be available in Mzansi from August this year. At what price though? We don’t know yet, but consider that the “lesser” S7 Sportback costs R919 600 at the till…

BMW 3 SERIES GRAN TURISMO IS OFFICIAL!






BMW is officially releasing a 3 Series Gran Tourismo or GT, and these are the first official pictures thereof. The 3 GT follows on the tyre tracks of the 5 Series GT, a car that I found very hard to understand, and still do because of its special flaws, given what BMW claims about it.

SUZUKI CROSSOVER COMING SOON


Next month from the 5th sees the opening of the 2013 edition of the Geneva International Motor Show. Suzuki, ever-resiliant, will showcase a new C-segment crossover car that apparently features some seriously advanced 4WD technology. The car has not been named yet so all info will come through on that day.
