For the very first time, we can take an unobstructed look at BMW’s new 2 Series Coupe, seen here as an M235i model (think of it as an M135i with a boot and a prettier face). As you know, BMW’s new naming strategy means that what was previously known as the 1 Series Coupe and [...]
With just weeks ahead of its web debut, the new BMW M235i was spied undisguised. The first 2 Series model was spotted during a video commercial and for the first time it gives us a clear look at its front-end design. Moving away from the somewhat blend and bulky design of the 1 Series, the [...]
Fiat is planning to turn around its entire range by projecting the Panda and the 500’s image on its upcoming models, just like it recently did with the 500L small minivan.

BRIAN WILLIAMS FOR KGP PHOTOGRAPHY AND THE MANUFACTURER Earlier this year, BMW revealed its Concept 4-series Coupe at the Detroit auto show. Despite the extravagant name and title of concept, it was evident that this was a thinly veiled production vehicle waiting for its formal introduction. That hasn’t happened yet, but the production-ready 4-series has [...]
According to the most recent version of the Geneva Motor Show’s official list of world premieres, the next generation of the Volkswagen Golf Variant will join the Cross Up and four more Golf debuts, the GTI, GTD, EcoFuel and BlueMotion.

It’s almost time for BMW’s 5-Series range of sedans, Touring and GT models to receive their mid-cycle facelift, which could explain the appearance of an undisguised 2014MY 535Li on Chinese website Auto163. For those of you wondering, the 535Li is a long-wheelbase version of the regular F10 sedan that measures 5,039mm or 198-inches long, designed [...]
The Aston Martin AM310, revealed at this year’s Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’este, was an early look at the next-generation of the Aston Martin flagship grand tourer.
