Volkswagen Beetle R: Frankfurt debut planned?

2012 VW Beetle R - a Hot Beetle However hard they tried – and they did for a while – Volkswagen never managed to make the reborn VW Beetle anything more than a novelty; a girly car with a flower vase for girly drivers. That was enough to make the Beetle sell in almost respectable numbers in both North and South America, but it consigned VW’s retro effort to the novelty bin in Europe, where we tend to know a cynical marketing ploy from a real car.

New Porsche Panamera GTS takes to the track The new Porsche Panamera GTS is the latest Panamera variant to arrive – the ninth Panamera, no less – and is, as all Porsche GTS models are, a harder-edged take on the more mainstream variants.

Not bad for a big saloon car that eschews forced induction and can carry proper-sized passengers in comfort.

Ford Focus 1.0 litre EcoBoost drops below 100g/km & Focus range gets tweaked

Now, Ford has given buyers who want a sub-100g/km car the chance to finally buy a petrol car instead of an oil burner with the first family-sized car with a petrol engine to break the 100g/km barrier.
