2012 Kia Rio

2012 Kia Rio, from TTAC

Looking at the new 2012 Kia Rio which will be coming in 4- and 5-door forms, there is some inspiration that came from the Citroen DS3.

 

Brand New Subaru Impreza Concept

Ok, I’ve always been a fan of Subaru. In spite of being sold off to Toyota, I really hope they retain their quirky styling and dedication to the WRC. The new Impreza concept is a lot bolder and mature than the old Imprezas (its also a lot bigger). There has been no official word on the powertrains, but we can all be assured that they’ll still get the good ‘ol boxer engines. My guess is that it will have a hybrid model in its lineup featuring the hybrid system found in the Prius.

 

Review of the 2012 Ford Focus

Well, we still dont have it here but we will soon be getting the 2012 Ford Focus sometime in the 4th quarter if the rumors are to be believed. The new Focus is more grown up and has a restrained style that contrasts a bit with the Fiesta.

 

New Civics introduced at NAIAS 2011

Talk about a lack of imagination…or really sticking to a proven design. Honda just released the 9th generation 2012 Civic sedan and coupe. If it bears a huge resemblance to what you see today, you’re right it looks like the only thing they really changed is the rear end.

The speedo continues as a floating unit above the dash which also remains a two-tier affair. Nothing solid on what will power the new Civic, but the big bet is that Eco-Assist will be available.

 

2012 Honda Civic spied in Arabia

CAR Middle East Online recently caught the 2012 Honda Civic desert testing in Dubai. Unfortunately, unlike when the FD Civic came out in 2007, this thing isnt going to win any design awards or set the Honda fan clubs’ hearts racing. Hoenstly, it looks like a scaled up version of the previous generation City.

Here’s the link to the article. Dont forget to add your comments for Honda’s consumption…
