2018 Nissan Altima teased ahead of New York motor show
…
Nissan has provided a first look at the upcoming Altima sedan, set to debut at the New York motor show later this month.
Details about the new Altima are predictably tricky to nail down. Nissan has only provided one shadowy sketch of its latest Camry competitor, but it looks like a much racier design than the last – slightly dumpy – Altima.
Forgotten manufacturer SsangYong will return to Australia’s increasingly-cluttered car market before the end of 2018.
The Korean brand will operate through its own factory distributor this time — it was last imported by Ateco Automotive — and is currently signing up a network of dealers and local management.
The company left Australia following disagreements between it and Ateco over its pricing strategy.
There are lots of questions around the whys and wherefores of developing any new car, let alone an icon like the Toyota Supra. Why did it take so long? Why was it co-developed with BMW? Why Toyota has chosen now as the time to bring the name back?
We sat down with Tetsuya Tada, the man behind the Supra and Toyota 86, to get some answers.
UPDATE (8/3): Mercedes-Benz Australia has confirmed there are no plans to bring the S-Class Exclusive Editions to Australia at this stage.
Mercedes-Benz has revealed the S-Class Exclusive Edition in both Coupe and Cabriolet forms at the Geneva motor show.
With European sales commencing in April, the Exclusive Edition can be added to "almost any engine variant", and carries a slew of unique appointments to make the already-exclusive flagship Benz that bit more special.
Kia has released a pair of sketches previewing its upcoming K900 flagship, ahead of a likely debut at the New York motor show next month.
The company describes its large sedan as "sophisticated and stately", with a new grille containing 176 individual jewel-like cells.
Apparently, it's designed to be "suggestive of released energy flowing away from its centre" but, to our eyes, it looks remarkably similar in concept to the Diamond Grille debuted on the Mercedes-Benz A-Class.
