While Kia engineers continue to test the 2014 model year Sorento Crossover in Germany at the Nürburgring and in other parts of the world under fairly heavy camouflage, the team over at Kia-World tipped us off about a single scoop image they obtained of the car undisguised. Read more »

Skoda Drops Teaser Sketches and Images of the 2013 Rapid Sedan


After our revealing spy shots of the European market 2013 Skoda Rapid, there's really not much left to show about the Czech automaker's entry in the compact sedan category.

However, if you're still wondering what the front and rear ends of the car will look like without the craftily positioned decals on the lights, here are some official design sketches and cropped images of the final production model.

First seen in showcar trim as the Mission L concept at last year's Frankfurt Motor Show, the production Rapid will make its first public appearance in Paris this September and hit dealerships across Europe before the end of the year.

Despite its saloon appearance, the rear window lifts together with the boot revealing a capacious 500 liters of space.

Spied: Porsche Prepping New 911 Carrera 4 and Carrera 4S AWD Models


Ever since Porsche borrowed a page from the 959 introducing all-wheel drive to its most famed model series back in 1989 with the 964 Carrera 4, the German automaker has been offering four-wheel drive versions of every generation of the 911.

This won't change with the new 991 series, the range of which will be expanded with the Carrera 4 and Carrera 4S models at the end of the year following a world premiere at the Paris Motor Show in late September.

SCOOP: New Volvo XC40 Crossover Caught Disguised and…Undisguised


At the same time our spy shooters were snagging pictures of Volvo's engineers testing a camouflaged prototype of the upcoming crossover version of the V40, a member of the Dutch Volvo Forum hit the jackpot by spotting the production model completely undisguised during a photo shoot.

The compact crossover will likely be named the XC40 with its presentation possibly taking place as early as this fall at the 2012 Paris Motor Show.

Judging by these photos, the XC40 is to the V40 what the XC70 is to the V70. In other words, a soft off-roader version of the V40 with a slightly tougher look that benefits from a raised ride height, an assortment of robust plastic cladding, prominent roof rails and perhaps either standard or optional all-wheel-drive system.

Scoop: 2013 Ford Fiesta Sedan will get the Aston Martin Grille Treatment, Plus 1.0-liter Turbo


Having already afforded us a peak at the hatchback version of the upcoming 2013 Ford Fiesta through these shots, our spies have now caught up with a prototype of the sedan model while engineers were testing it on the roads around the Nürburgring.

There's too much cladding on both ends of the Fiesta sedan to be absolutely sure, but it appears that Ford will apply the same Aston Martin grille treatment on the facelifted model as it did on the new Fusion.

2013 Toyota Auris Hatchback Brochure Scans Leaked?


Earlier today, we told you about Toyota's plans to debut a pre-production concept of the next generation Auris hatchback (also known as the Corolla hatchback in some markets) at the 2012 Paris Motor Show this September.

As it seems, we won't have to wait until the fall to get a glimpse of what the 2013 Auris will look like as images of an alleged brochure for the Japanese domestic-market model have surfaced online.
