Ram teases new model for New York Auto Show Ram-ified IVECO van?

Volkswagen XL1 prototype spied in action [video] 0.9 l/km is 2.6 mpg - Worldcarfans unit conversion fail... ;)

New 2013 Toyota Yaris Hybrid specs and prices announced (DE) The Prius C is not planned for sales in Europe... the styling would not work here. I guess the super-slow sales of the regular Prius are the reason for this.

2013 BMW 3-Series Touring spied making a pit stop Wagon for Europe (where the wagon sells much better than the sedan), 3GT for America, where "wagon" is a dirty word. (Like "diesel" or "manual transmission")

BMW M135i xDrive caught completely undisguised Do you have a picture that implies this is an xDrive (did somebody climb under the thing to take a picture of the driven front wheels) - or did you just completely make it "xDrive" part up?

Cadillac admits need for diesels to compete against Germans Have a look into who owns VM Motori ;)

Next-gen Toyota Auris first to get BMW diesel engine The Auris is available with a lineup of three diesel engines (1.4L D-4D, 90hp 2.0L D-4D 126hp, 2.2L D-CAT 177hp) Why can't they evolve those instead of buying somebody else's' engines? http://www.toyota.de/cars/new_cars/auris/index.tmex?view=topfeatures&select=engines

Mercedes E-Class Hybrids coming to Detroit - report The regular E250 CDI with the 2.1L twin turbo diesel has 369 lb-ft of nearly instantly available torque. It feels great without the hybrid system, believe me. The question is, does the hybrid system really improve real-world fuel economy much? They are putting the 2.1L twin turbo into many vehicles. C-Class, E-Class, S-Class, ML-Class, Sprinter, SLK... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLzXeK7RBlA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSH-5uGF1Y4&feature=results_video&playnext=1&list=PLD26EB0ACB070C2BA

Cadillac admits need for diesels to compete against Germans "GM also has the option, though, of sourcing diesel engines and technology from its European unit Opel." Makes no sense - Opel doesn't make its own diesels. They use Fiat and Isuzu diesels engines.

Chevrolet confirms diesel engine for Cruze in U.S. The VM Motori diesel in the Cruze is not related in any way to the Fiat diesel in the Opels. Much older design than the Fiat.
