Volkswagen has just unveiled the latest generation Beetle in Shanghai, marking a new era in this iconic car’s history. Due in Ireland early next year, the latest generation moves away from design of the New Beetle of 1998 and instead draws on cues from the original and Beetle Ragster concept shown in Detroit in 2005. As such it’s longer, wider, and lower, giving a more masculine and dynamic appearance.

Some motor show unveilings will also draw people in and an all-new Golf GTi is certainly one of those. Power output it 210 bhp – it was 200 on the MkV – and it features an electronic limited slip diff linked to the ESP for the first time. The GTI is officially a concept but won’t change much before it arrives here in the spring.

The all-new Ford Fiesta took top honours at the 32nd annual What Car? Car of the Year Awards 2009. In fact Ford scooped four awards in total.
