Difficult to follow the adventures of the renaissance of heraldry announced by Aston Martin Lagonda.
While it was thought that the first revival of Lagonda is ultimately a limousine based on the Aston Martin Rapide, we must reconsider our certainties.
Indeed, the boss of Aston Martin, Ulrich Bez said in a demonstration in Amsterdam for the Lagonda concept at Geneva Motor Show in 2009 would enter into production well. This model is particularly designed for Chinese markets, Russia and the Middle East.
We remember that the style of this concept had sparked an outcry. So, one wonders if it has been modified for its production.
Nothing left for the Cadillac prototype ATS abandon their test mule stage to begin final design show, but before we could see the outlines of the car, the kids watch GM Inside News claim to have achieved a number of details important on this compact sedan that will deal with models like the BMW 3 Series.

Nine months after pregnancy ends of the coupe, and a later pregnancy will the convertible. Technically fall model of the platform used by the Cadillac ATS, which will be trimmed (and modernized) to compact size.
Interestingly, despite that "Cadillac" and "four cylinder" are notions that GM still cause chills when used in the same sentence (the shadow of the Cimarron is elongated, and the BLS was also to forget), the base engine ATS will be an atmospheric 2.0, although there will be a turbo option, a V6, and with any luck, a V8 under the hood of the ATS-V version, which should go on sale in 2014.
And the presentation of the concept? We'll be surprised if not in January as part of the news from Detroit ...

Chinese car manufacture, Great Wall Motors is going to commence production of its passenger cars in early 2011 at its Lovech factory.
Great Wall is looking to build two sedans, an SUV and a truck for the European community. The plant has a production capacity of 50,000 cars per annum. The first 1,000 cars are expected to be produced in February 2011.
The company anticipates the production will give it wide access to the Euro market. The vehicles are likely to obtain a "Made in the EU" sticker and – without infuriating duties and taxes – will be exported throughout Europe.
The original investment is estimated at $119m and is likely to surpass $420m at a later date. The factory will give work to 1,800 people, of which 400 are highly specialised professionals from Germany, China, Italy, South Korea, and Japan.
If it has changed little aesthetically, the Nissan GT-R has given more muscle, just to go on improving its stopwatch Nordschleife Nurburgring, humiliating the way certain German and Italian ... 530 hp, the new power of the beast, spat out the double-turbo V6 and four-wheel drive are responsible to pass this power to the ground safely.
While waiting to finally lead in the highly hypothetical Gran Turismo 5, it is the icon par excellence, here are some new photos released by Nissan.
Here is the first official video that showcases the new "great" Renault, the Latitude. It's very clean, very soft, almost Zen at the point of wondering if it's a commercial for lotus flower, which makes serene, travel in landscapes or on the car kind of beautiful men ... quarantine.
Difficult to make a decision and approach the car as there is little evidence to tell us about the car. We discover the equipment, such as the ionizer, the Bose stereo, electric seats and massage but what about the Latitude and its qualities, its engines, 2.0 dCi L and 3.0 L, fun to drive this new car.
It seems that Guillaume will have to find a more appropriate time for dance classes, because Ulrich Bez has confirmed that the project goes ahead as Lagonda SUV. During a conference held yesterday in Rotterdam, the CEO of Aston Martin said his idea to revive the Lagonda brand with an SUV remains unchanged, and he even pointed out that the car would be conducted with the assistance of an outside manufacturer, as already Toyota resorted to "develop" (say) the Cygnet.
It is still curious that the younger and smaller subsidiary of Toyota is one of the manufacturers with the highest representation SEMA. But is that Scion has always been for free. This brand was created less than a decade in the U.S. with a mission to seduce Generation Y has made its enormous potential for customization of your address, and now that the biggest event coming pear in North America, is willing to put all meat on the grill with the help of some of the most reputable U.S. firms, such is the case or magazine GReddy 0-60. Anyway, the most canton of all is the Scion xB limousine Cartel Customs, an idea so outlandish as surprisingly well-executed, with its roof lit, its wet bar and panoramic tele.
There is nothing officially announced less than 10 vehicles (including three prepared by the Army, Navy and Marine Corps United States), but Scion promises new surprises next month in Las Vegas. Now, what you can do while waiting on 2 November is take a look at our galleries, including the live album taken during the event prior to the show in Culver City, California.
The ugly more attractive comes into the hands of Coach, which it sees one of his videos a minute and a half to reach the objective conclusion that it is a love and I can not, a nothing in particular. Hey, friends of Autocar, this car is a crossover, what do you expect? We scored three and a half stars out of five, valuing it worse than the Polo, for example. But since car purchases are not decided by logic and tangible, but the emotions generated by the machine, aesthetics, and a host of pheromones around the cars at dealerships ... I, for example, in anticipation of the impending test, I would get the Juke.
After Ben Collins ceased to be the Stig from Top Gear (and the supposed imminent death that will give the first program of the season) the bets are all out to see what color will the new "ghost rider" TV program of the BBC. In order to give more hype around the issue, the boys of The Sun, along with the makers of Top Gear, have posted some pictures where it leaves the farm where they breed Stig, as if they were chickens or pigs ...

Despite the White House’s attempt to sway consumers away from large SUV’s, customers seem to be rebelling. Sales of big SUV’s have risen in recent months, namely the Ford Expedition and Chevrolet Tahoe, and sales are reaching their 1000’s this year. GM’s sales of big utes are up 11%, with Ford reporting a 28% increase.
Chevrolet marketing manager, Mark Clawson said “Unless the country decides to limit people to only having two kids, only having one activity and not having things like snowmobiles, jet skis and boats, then there will be some people who will still want these vehicles”.
GM has established that a refurbish of its SUV line-up is due in 2013/’14.
Ford is releasing 100 special edition Transit SportVan models to mark their 45th year as Britain’s best-selling van.
Back in 2006, Ford ousted the ‘white van’ trend when they released the Transit SportVan for the first time.

Elsewhere on the exterior, there are a number of changes made to the look of the Ford. These changes include twin exhausts, graphite colour alloys, front and rear lower spoilers, side skirts and extended wheel arches.
The interior has also undergone some changes such as new fabrics and trims that fall alongside new equipment and technology. This model also includes the first DAB radio that comes as standard on a medium van.
Standard features include power deadlocks, rain-sensing wipers and safety features such as ABS and ESP; there is also a good range of optional extras that can be included.
Prices for the standard Ford Transit SportVan range from around £15,000 up to £29,000 and prices for the Special Edition Ford are expected to mirror these figures.

Onn also discovers a sloped and rather sporty look that contrasts with the very wise of the current model but is in the spirit of the new Meriva.
Found on the dashboard of the new Zafira 3 the same genes as the latest creations of Rüsselsheim firm with only a little more vertical! We could find out what Zafira 3 during the 2011 Geneva Motor Show as a concept as to how the GTC Concept Paris before getting to know the standard version at the Frankfurt Motor Show 2011. The commercialsiation seems to be scheduled for late 2011 or early 2012.
Little or no information on the mechanics but the Ecotec 1.4 L engine and 1.6 L Turbo could well be part of the blocks as diesel 1.7 L and 2.0 L CDTI. We also talk about the arrival of a robotic gearbox for the Zafira is well positioned opposite the Peugeot 5008, Renault Scenic, VW Touran and Ford C-Max Gd.

Yes, it comes in Lower Saxony after an interlude of several years that enabled the New Beetle convertible to take her place on the market (particularly the USA). The new generation Golf Cabrio is expected to be unveiled next March at the Geneva show and will restore to its former production plant Karmann of Osnabrück, where the old and almost mythical Golf 1 Cabriolet was manufactured between 1979 and 1993 (original prototype dating , 1976).
We also know that the revival of production of the Golf cabriolet (with soft top, but with or without a hoop?) Should give at the beginning of 2011 work for 1000 people and this figure will reach the end of next year, nearly 1800 people who work to produce this new version of the Golf.
The site of Lower Saxony will be dedicated to the production of cars that were discoverable since the 70's, the specialty of this factory Karmann acquired last year by Volkswagen. Not much information about this gig but it is likely that we will know more in the coming weeks. A follow especially if you love the Volkswagen convertibles and we're not a fan of the stylish Eos hardtop
If you think a Volkswagen Golf was much tuned, but please consider how often the Murcielago went under the knife. Unicat also takes on the Murcielago LP640. They imagine the Yeniceri Edition, named after a squadron of the Ottoman Empire. The Yeniceri is 20 mm nearer to the ground and get a new pair of wheels from the camp of ConcacTen. Greatest failure in the Lambo, the LEDs in the side skirts.
Inside we find a new wheel, a premium audio system and more carbon. Under the hood was a new exhaust system installed so the 651 horsepower V12 is now strong, that's 11 hp more than the standard version.
Bumblebee, star of the movie 'Transformers' came from U.S. private plane. But who becomes the fair, every hour, is the Borrego, Kia.
In this edition of the Auto Show cars do not share the public's attention only with beautiful women. Two giant robots stand at the pavilion of Anhembi. The most famous is a replica of the Bumblebee, star of the movie 'Transformers', which, in cinema, disguises herself as a Chevrolet Camaro, the main launch of the GM booth. But, in the Hall, no transformation. Who really changes is the Borrego, Kia, to become the Robot (watch the video at below).
Every hour, visitors to the stand of the South Korean brand are surprised when the SUV breaks down to become a puppet of 6 feet tall. Besides talking, welcoming the audience, the robot has six types of motion. This is the third doll developed by Marc Productions, St. Paul, to the manufacturer's 1997 and 2000 robots made based on the van Beast.
"For us, he has a soul," says builder "We took the mechanics of the car and the body adapt to the transformation that is made with the aid of a power pack, light effects, smoke and audio system," says Marcus Vinicius da Silva, a partner at Marc Productions . "We are concerned also about preserving all the features external to the Mohave seem just another drive on exposure and thus increase the audience's surprise."
To develop the contraption, made especially for the Hall, took five months of work, enough time to create a relationship of affection between the creators and the friendly robot. "For us, it has life, soul and even feeling," says Silva. "Witness the thrill and excitement, it also causes visitors in the hall." The Robôkia presents from the display case and the last 13h to 22h.

Mark says it plans to sell 60 units of XJ in Brazil, but the focus in this release are the markets of USA and China.

The president of the importer of the brand, the SHC, Sergio Habib, said the partnership with Tata Motors is expected to grow and there are plans to open new stores in Brazil. The Jaguar that belonged to Ford, is now owned by the Indian group, which, he said, has increased the interest of the mark in the Brazilian market. The XJ is the first release within the plan to expand the brand.
