Despite being launched way back in 2002, the XC90 is still holding on in the sales front –even recording its best-ever year in the UK in 2010 with 7,000 units, and global sales of 37,000 cars. Now Volvo has decided to introduce some mild updates for the 2012MY. Exterior modifications of the 2012 XC90, which will be available in October, include new LED day running lights in the lower front bumper

China has strived long and hard to become the world's number one car market. And it achieved it in late 2009, holding that title until today. Only last year, 18 million vehicles were sold in China while some executives, like Ford's strategy director for the Asia/Pacific region, Will Periam, expect it to reach 32 million units in the next nine years. And it's only natural for automakers to make

Volkswagen's new/old approach to the second generation of the New Beetle (not counting the original Bug), continues with this latest commercial that promotes the available customization options from its Accessories division.

Since its introduction in 1955, Chevrolet's Small Block V-8 has carved itself a niche that could otherwise never be filled. Affordable, lightweight and offering great performance for its size, the Small Block is to the automotive world what the Apple iPad is to tech-heads.

Hybrid cars are the readily available solution to drastically reduce fuel consumption and, thus, CO2 emissions. But they are also much more expensive than regular vehicles powered only by internal combustion engines. And the truth is they are not the only solution as some carmakers would have you believe.

OnStar has announced a new mobile application for GM vehicles fitted with its RemoteLink system. The app allows drivers to search for a destination on their smartphone and send it directly to their cars via text message or voice mail. The system can store up to five endpoints. Once the driver starts up his or her car, the route will be readily available and navigation will be activated. Read

We may be waiting for Honda to fully reveal the European market 2012 Civic hatchback, but the Japanese automaker announced today that the five-door model will compete in the 2012 British Touring Car Championship. Team Dynamics, which has been a long time Honda partner, will prepare two fully works cars based on the new Civic with which it hopes to repeat 2010's success of winning both the

Unless Ford is preparing an even bigger surpRiSe for us, the company's recent announcement on the unveiling of the "next performance Focus" at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show strongly suggests that we will see the final production version of the Focus ST in Germany. But until then, Ford has unleashed yet another media campaign on the internet that marks the final (or at least we hope it's the

Stuck in a neighborhood with enormous volumes of water doesn't exactly sound like an ideal setting for entertainment, or at least that is what most people would like to believe. Some folks, however, found a way to make the best of a really bad situation. Like this guy who took out his jet ski and had a blast on the empty (pun intended) roads of Oceanside, New York after the passing of Irene.

Ask any classic car nut what's on his or her list of must-have Italian exotics, and chances are there'll be at least one Iso. The boutique automaker made several notable contributions to the world of motoring, among them the legendary Grifo and svelte Rivolta. The company was also responsible for the Isetta bubble car and, sadly, the Fidia S4 sedan pictured here. Let's just say it wasn't one of

These past few years, Audi and the German premium automakers in general, have set out to fill every possible niche consumers may or may not think they need, from luxurious superminis to wild supercars. And they are far from done. At the upcoming 2011 Frankfurt auto show, Audi will lift the covers off a new pure-electric concept study that revives the name of long gone A2. The original model

One of the lesser known automakers from Russia, Yo-Auto, will participate at this month's Frankfurt Motor Show with a new study, the (not so imaginatively named) Yo-Concept. It is one of three hybrid models the Russian company is developing and has been designed in order to introduce the brand to the public and to preview its future products.

The next chapter in the Porsche 911 saga, codenamed 991, is almost upon us as the sports coupe will make its first public outing at the Frankfurt Motor Show on September 13, with sales to start this month in Germany and from February 2012 in North America. Porsche is marking the launch of its most recognized model with what it describes as a "multimedia firework extravaganza" and which means a

As previously reported, the Renault 4 Ever Design Competition is asking the world's up-and-coming designers to pen a modernised take on the brand's iconic Quatrelle hatchback. Here's one design that really impressed us: Italian David Obendorfer's "Revival of a Childhood Impression". Like Fiat's Nuova 500, Obendorfer's Revival takes the classic lines of its inspiration and wraps them around

The LaCrosse, Buick's mid-size sedan offering, is doing quite well in China with 215,000 deliveries in the first seven months of the year alone. Now General Motors is adding the eAssist mild-hybrid version to the LaCrosse's Chinese line-up and is taking orders in 25 pilot cities, with the first cars scheduled for delivery in September.

A new and more fuel-efficient but also less powerful 1.6-liter turbo diesel engine is taking the place of the 2.0-liter diesel in the European lineup of the Qashqai and its longer, seven-seat sibling, the Qashqai+2. The new 1.6-liter diesel delivers 130-horsepower and 320Nm (236 lb-ft) of torque from 2,000rpm to only 1,750rpm, compared to 150HP and 320Nm at 2,000 rpm of the outgoing 2.0 dCi

For those looking for a bit more muscle in their GTI, Volkswagen has launched the special anniversary edition of its hot hatch in Britain.

In an attempt to sell more Zubehör (accessories) to its international customer base, Volkswagen's German arm created a web campaign based around the concept of "Business class for all".

Even though in recent years Alfa Romeo's formal presence in the concept scene has been limited to the 4C pre-production study, independent designers and studios alike have tried their best to cover the Italian firm's absence and capture the imagination of the public with plenty of conceptual proposals.

The hurricane that battered the U.S. East Coast over the weekend and which we came to call Irene, didn't have the same impact on all regions as some were hit more severely than others.

It's been over a year since the PSA Peugeot-Citroën group announced an agreement with Mitsubishi to develop and adapt the Japanese company's ASX small crossover for its two brands in Europe and possibly other markets down the road.

Instead of presenting the final production version of is 4C mid-engine sports coupe at the upcoming Frankfurt auto show, Alfa Romeo will once again display the concept model but with a different paint job. The new color is named 'Fluid Metal' with Alfa claiming that it "dynamically enhances the smooth and sinuous lines of the car". We find it much better looking than the washed out matte red

The Fiat Group may have exhibited both the sedan and convertible variants of the Chrysler 200 re-branded as the Lancia Flavia at the Geneva Salon in March, but at the Frankfurt Motor Show, the Italians will only bring the open top model.

Replacing a car with a 31-year long history is never an easy task. Especially if it has become one of Fiat's most successful city cars offering ample interior space and practicality for its size. The first generation of the model introduced in 1980, was the first city car to offer a diesel engine (1986), four-wheel drive (1983) and one of the first electric variants (the Elettra in 1990),

Ford is putting the final development touches on the production version of its Fiesta-based B-MAX small MPV that was snagged with a funky color scheme and very few parts covered up while testing in Europe.
