The Mercedes-Benz SL is now in its sixth generation. This latest SL roadster has a new design, but much has stayed the same.

It looks much like a BMW 5 Series Sedan, but the new BMW M5 is actually a very different kind of a car. It is a sports car disguised as a friendly looking sedan. The exterior design gives you a few hints of the car’s power reserves. At the front the double-kidney grille with wide-spread…

The competition in the premium hatchback segment is only getting tougher as Volvo brings out its new V40 model. The V stands for Versatile, and so far the V-models have all been wagons. Naming this new car as V40 is a bit confusing as earlier Volvo had the V40 wagon in its lineup. However, this…

Even the basic version of the Suzuki Swift is pretty fun to drive. With the 1.2-litre engine, it is not very powerful, but small and agile. Now there is a new Sport-version available, that should provide more of everything. It looks a bit sportier and has an updated chassis. And most importantly, instead of the…

Finally the Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe has the looks that it deserves. The previous C-Class coupes, the Sportcoupe and the CLC just looked a bit funny to my eye. With the shortened rear end they looked more like a C-Class hatchback than a real coupe. Luckily, things are very much different with this new Coupe. The…

It still is easily recognisable. The long bonnet, short rear boot lid, frameless side windows and roofline which slowly drops towards the end of the car. The proportions of the design have stayed unchanged. Yet the second generation CLS have completely new look. The front of the car has clearly borrowed some bits from the…

There’s nothing wrong with the 5-door version of the Impreza. However, most of the fans, including me, preferred the 4-door body type. Now Subaru has answered to our hopes and built a four-door version of the Subaru Impreza WRX STI. Not just the new body variant, but Subaru promises that MY2011 Impreza has also improved…

Peugeot unveiled RCZ concept car at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2007. The car gathered such a big interest from the public that the decision about production was made next spring. It too often happens so, that when a concept car is taken into production, many wonderful design ideas are stripped away as being too…
