Top Gear: il trailer dello speciale in India
Lo speciale natalizio di Top Gear di quest'anno sarà in India. I tre conduttori britannici non si sono però spostati nel paese asiatico per girare una puntata normale.

Il target della missione può suonare un po' strano agli appassionati del programma televisivo, ma Jezza ed i suoi compagni di viaggio, come sempre, faranno divertire...

BYD Auto Reveals New Compact Car, Plug in Hybrid Version Coming

Lexus: nuova immagine del prototipo atteso a Detroit
Il nuovo corso stilistico del marchio Lexus verrà anticipato da un'ancora misteriosa concept car, attesa durante il salone di Detroit (9-22 gennaio) in previsione della nuova ES.

Nissan: prima anticipazione del nuovo Pathfinder
Il Nissan Pathfinder di seconda generazione avrà un stile più arrotondato e "gentile", privo degli spigoli che rendono squadrata e massiccia l'attuale generazione. E' possibile ricavare queste prime indicazioni da un'immagine ufficiale pubblicata dalla stessa Nissan, in cui il profilo della nuova vettura giapponese risulta offuscato e non permette così di valutare quanto sia accentuata la parentela stilistica con il Lexus JX....
