The Honda Urban SUV Concept made its debut at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, apparently hinting at the Japanese automaker’s future new crossover offering that will slot in below the CR-V in terms of size and price.
The all-new 2014 Toyota Corolla is still several months away, but the Japanese carmaker is keen to show off the future styling direction for their bread-and-butter compact sedan, with the unveiling of the Furia concept at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show.
The 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class is now expected to be launched in April this year, at the 2013 Beijing Auto Show. China has become a hot-bed for luxury car sales as the rich become richer and the poor assemble iPhones. However, Mercedes-Benz is still busy using Dubai as the hot-bed for prototype testing, as we spotted the camouflaged next-generation S-Class yet again in our town recently.

There was a time when the “new” BMW-designed Mini was only available as a 3-door hatchback and a convertible.

Now there’s a new 5-door model joining the range when the redesigned 2014 Mini arrives next year, to succeed where the Clubman failed.
For the 28th edition of the São Paulo Motor Show the French manufacturer Renault has brought to their stands the DCross concept.

This here is a Fiat Bravo. We wouldn’t have given it a second look when we spotted it a month ago, except that it had all these weird wires taped onto the exterior. Indeed, it’s possibly a GCC-spec prototype of the 2013 model.
