This first illustration shows one of the new range of Mercedes cars due for release in the next 2-3 years.
As a replacement for the current A class this new model is set to challenge the Golf, A3 and BMW1 head-on in performance and quality.
Expected to be on sale in 2012 in both 3 and 5 door versions these upmarket small cars will have new super efficient diesel and petrol units with stop-start technology.

Unlike aircraft arrivals in these “ash cloud” days which can arrive anywhere at anytime (if arrive they do) the new VW Golf has arrived a full 2 years ahead of schedule.
With its new square body shape this seventh generation variant of this ever popular family car, from its new external look to an all new lightweight platform making its already fuel efficient engines even more frugal, this VW Golf will be setting new standards for its competitors to try to catch up to.

China’s Shanghai Automotive (SAIC) are preparing to restart production at Longbridge with their MG6 saloon.
This MG6 model based on a combination of their Roewe550 and a Rover75, which will be slightly larger than a Skoda Octavia, will be in showrooms on sale in October.
