Redesigned alongside the Chevrolet Silverado for 2014, the GMC Sierra is pretty much a clone of the aforementioned Chevy, save for the front end. The version we’re testing here is some sort of well-optioned trim, complete with body-coloured bumpers and shiny alloy wheels, but still stands one level below the chrome-grilled Sierra Denali model.
The Lincoln Continental concept, first shown at the 2015 New York Auto Show earlier this year and praise by the media for its attractive design as well as derided by Bentley for looking like their own Continental Flying Spur, has been given the green light to become the flagship of the Lincoln sedan line, replacing the awkwardly-proportioned MKS.
The Audi A6 has been facelifted. What, you don’t believe us? Look closer. It’s got new headlights and things. Truth is, the facelift really is limited to headlights and things, but it’s enough to make this midsize sedan look stunning with the “S-Line” package. Just look at those wheels.
Coinciding with Mercedes-Benz’s new naming system, the ugly GLK-Class compact crossover is all set to be replaced by the all-new GLC-Class. And it was spotted testing right here in Dubai.
Al-Futtaim Motors, exclusive distributor of Toyota in the UAE, has announced the launch of the all-new 5.7-litre V8 Land Cruiser Xtreme, limited to just 60 production units and badged as a “60th Anniversary” edition.
It seems like just the other day when Toyota launched the 2012 Camry to much fanfare. So it seems prudent that the “all-new” 2016 Camry isn’t exactly all-new. Just launched today in the UAE, we took one for a brief spin around the cluttered “New Dubai” area.
Abu Dhabi Police has, shall we say, “borrowed” the W Motors Lykan Hypersport for use as a fully-liveried police car in promotional activities, similar to what the Dubai Police has been up to for the past couple of years.
A set of patent drawings have been leaked on the internet, purportedly depicting the next-generation Mitsubishi Pajero Sport.
A day’s worth of travelling and transit flights brought us to the little town of Verbier in Switzerland, which, for the time being, had become overrun with all-new 2016 Audi Q7 midsize luxo-crossovers, as we were hosted at this sleepy skiing village for the international media-drive event. The Q7 is a big deal for Audi, as their best-seller has finally undergone a complete re-engineering after almost a decade unchanged.
Does an SUV belong on a racetrack? There are several German brands trying to answer that question, but their offerings are so compromised in the pursuit of Nurburgring lap records that they hardly qualify as SUVs. And then there’s the new 2015 Range Rover Sport SVR, which set its own ‘Ring record for SUVs, however briefly it held. The difference between the SVR and other super-SUVs is that it can still go offroad. We drove one of these battering rams at a media event in New York last month.
