The dust has pretty much settled over the Paris Motor Show stands so we can talks about some of the less expensive and concept-like cars that were there. The Peugeot 301 is a classic example of the situation. It’s far from the RCZ-R sports car and on a different level from the Onyx supercar. Despite [...]

At this year’s edition of the Paris Motor Show, the Germans at Mercedes unveiled an all-electric variant of the Mercedes SLS AMG supercar. From the beginning we are told that the SLS AMG Electric Drive is a production version, which means that it can be ordered, but also we know that it comes with no [...]

The Paris Motor Show saw Porsche unveil the four wheel drive version of their 911 Carrera and even BMW had something from the same department. So, if 4×4 is what people want, they’re bound to love this option as it’s one of the cheapest way of getting all wheels driven. It is, of course, the [...]

Porsche scored big time at the Frankfurt Motor Show with their new 911. It was the most talked about car to be launched there. Odds are that the Paris Motor Show polling won’t be as successful for them. They did bring the 991 Porsche 911 there, but the only new thing on it was a [...]

Peugeot unveiled the sporty 208 GTi in world premiere at the Paris Motor Show, an event which hosted other debuts of the French car maker such as the 2008 and Onyx prototypes.

The Americans from Ford finally presented the new generation Mondeo, the European brother of the Ford Fusion, a model which is already available in the States.

We’ve all made a huge mistake. We’ve been looking forward to the Paris Motor Show as if it was the second coming when it was really Sunday in church. Not much happening, very few highlights and a lot of people who were pumped up about getting wine who ended up drinking it through a teaspoon. [...]

The Japanese car maker decided to reveal a new 1.6-liter i-DTEC turbo diesel engine at this year’s edition of the Paris Motor Show. The new engine will be initially available for the new Civic, other models in the range following to get it at a later date. To be more precise, the new Honda CR-V [...]

In typical Honda style, the CR-Z hybrid has slowly faded away from the public attention. Just about nobody knows what it is if they see it on the street. That’s a shame, especially given Honda’s efforts to make it as good as the car can be with both fuel economy, a bit of a sporty [...]

Volkswagen’s Paris Motor Show stand was filled with Golf variations this year. The majority of folks would say that the GTI “Study” is the most important one out there, but I’ve grown a little older. It’s not that I don’t think the GTI is going to be a spectacular model, it’s just that I think [...]
