These photos, seemingly taken inside one of Hyundai's factories, was posted on Korean website AutoPost.

The plus-sized Ford Transit van has picked up some upgrades in return for a $1000 price increase, following a similar suite of tweaks for the smaller and more popular Transit Custom.

Luxury car maker Mercedes-Benz is trying to end haggling by fixing the price of certain models in an attempt to stop “rip offs” and buyer remorse – but industry insiders say customers could end up paying more.

The Mazda2 city hatch and sedan range has been halved from 14 models to seven – and prices have risen by up to $5420 as another facelift arrives in local showrooms. The previous Mazda2 hatch ranged from $15,570 to $24,400 plus on-road costs but there are now only three model grades from $20,990 to $25,990 plus on-road costs, putting it in line with the prices of small cars that are the next size up, such as the Kia Cerato and Hyundai i30.

EXCLUSIVE The true depth of Holden’s sales disaster will be exposed 24 hours from now, with official figures expected to show the former top-selling brand sold just 2665 cars in November – half what it sold at the same time last year and its weakest monthly result since the company was established 71 years ago. It is the sixth record low for Holden in 11 months. The figure is so low that each of the top three selling cars outsold the entire Holden line-up last month (see tables below).
