While the Toyota FT-86 concept is on display at Tokyo Motor Show this week, testing for the production model has already begun with a downright bizarre looking mule lapping the Nurburgring.

Identified by our European spies as a FT-86 mule, this development car appears to be one car in the front and a totally different car [...]

The next-generation Mercedes-Benz CLS AMG has been spied testing out in the open. While the normal CLS has been caught a number of times, this is the first time that we see the high-performance AMG model strutting its stuff in public.

While Toyota’s FT-86 Concept has stolen the spotlight in the lead up to its debut at the Tokyo Motor Show, Japan’s Holiday Auto has had a go at sketching Subaru’s sibling to the AE86 successor.

The rendering shows a potential flagship STI variant which should up the power stakes by employing Subaru’s 186kW normally aspirated EJ25 [...]

Here’s prove Mercedes is hard working on the next generation E-Class Cabrio (so far called CLK) – and of the fact that the coupé’s beautiful sister will get a retractable hardtop.

Clearly visible is the joint between the windshield frame and the front edge of the roof. The wider disguise of the c-post and the longer [...]

In a recent promotional video to showcase their creative process, Volkswagen accidently included a full-sized clay model of the next generation Golf VII in the background of one of the shots.

While the offending clip was quickly removed, naturally our friends at Scoopy have pounced on this opportunity by creating a very accurate depiction of the [...]

Alfa Romeo is preparing to replace its aging 166 with the new 169, seen here for the first time in these artists impressions.

Here are the very first spy-shots of an all-new Mitsubishi Crossover, likely to hit showrooms early 2011.

What our spies shot in Switzerland today looks very much like a shrunk Qashqai-like Crossover – a class of cars that’s very popular nowadays and might replace the thirsty SUVs within the coming few years.
Nissan’s Qashqai is the makes [...]

While the launch of a V10-powered Audi R8 may have sparked some sibling rivalry with Lamborghini, it seems the brand may now have the LP 550-2 in its sights with a Clubsport variant reportedly in the works.

The Audi R8 Clubsport is rumoured to weigh 50 kilograms less than the standard model, coupled with an uprated [...]

BMW has been spied testing a subtly revised version of its X5 SUV which is set to arrive for the 2011 model year.

The redesign will consist of mainly minor cosmetic changes – basically and nip tuck here and there – and will incorporate new front and rear bumpers.
Also an inside source has speculated that the [...]

We’ve seen mules of the next generation Volkswagen Touareg for some time but now we’ve got our hands on the very first photos of an actual next-generation Touareg prototype testing somewhere in the United States.

Sources are suggesting the new 2011 Touareg will be significantly lighter, rumors suggest up to some 300 kilograms than the current [...]

Our photographers managed to snap shots of the replacement of today’s Volkswagen Sharan, likely the German firm’s longest-selling vehicle since the Beetle.

The original debut of the current generation, not sold in Australia, was way back in February 1995 – almost 16 years before the second-gen Sharan will make its debut at the 2011 Geneva Show.
