All-new Nissan Micra breaks cover

Nissan unveiled their all new Micra, the fourth generation of the iconic city car, at the Geneva Motor Show last week.

“The car has to charm a global audience,” an Associate Product Chief Designer told us in Geneva. “Its face had to look stylish and have an air of sophistication to it.”

Peugeot goes from strength to strength

Peugeot is celebrating 200 years in 2010. To coincide with their big corporate occasion Peugeot has unveiled a new styling direction for future models, a new corporate Lion badge and a new brand signature. It also has the 3008, which is the Continental 2010 Irish Car of the Year.

The new-look Lion is epitomised by the spectacular new Peugeot SR1 concept car, which will be unveiled to the general public at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show next week. Peugeot say that - dynamic, balanced and sensual, with an exclusive high-tech interior, the SR1 dream car is quite simply stunning. But all that is next week and beyond. Last week, Peugeot launched two new models here - the all-new 5008 MPV and the 308CC, which the French carmaker says is a cabriolet for all seasons.

New Volkswagen Transporter is vantastic

Volkswagen recently launched their new Transporter van. And the good news for fans is that the new model has a higher specifications but comes at a lower price, as becomes all mid-generation updates. But the changes to the Transporter (T5) go much further than I expected.

There's new styling features from a new bonnet, radiator grille and bumper to a new colour range and VW emblem, all set to give the new Transporter its most modern look and feel yet.
