The world’s most successful car company, Porsche, has announced upgrades for both its Boxster and Cayman models. The updated 2009 Porsche Cayman New engines, revised suspension and the magnificent PDK gearbox, make these far more than just cosmetic upgrades. These are real improvements, and make the Boxster and Cayman not just more powerful, but actually more economical.
Renault SA and Daimler AG, who are sharing technology to build the new Smart ForTwo and Renault Twingo cars, will delay the introduction of the models by a year, according to a French newspaper. The cars will now come to market in 2014 instead of 2013, La Tribune said, citing industry sources. The next ForTwo and the third-generation Twingo will be built on Renault's A platform, with ForTwo production continuing at Smart's plant in Hambach, France, and Twingo output at Renault's Novo Mesto factory in Slovenia.
