Citroen DS3 in the Pink

Citroen DS3 - complete with Fuchsia Pink Roof We love the Citroen DS3; it’s the best car in its sector by a surprisingly long way, and winner of our ‘Best car if you’re paying for it Yourself‘ Award. It’s also Top Gear and Fifth Gear’s favourite car. Which could go some way to explaining the 100,000 DS3s Citroen has already shifted, and 10,000 of those in the UK.

Ford Escort returns – for China: Shanghai Motor Show

The Ford Escort Concept has been built by Ford with the aim of taking a sizeable chunk of China’s compact saloon market – estimated at 5.5 million sales a year – and looks remarkably production viable and far from ‘budget’. Escort is a badge China knows – there are plenty of old Escorts floating around Chinese roads – so it’s a sensible move by Ford to revive a badge that already resonates as a compact, affordable saloon with Chinese car buyers. This new Escort gets a proper version of Ford’s latest design language – including the Aston Martin grill – and has good lines and strong detail including jeweled headlights with the lucky Chinese ’8′ discernible ; it looks entirely cohesive and nothing like a Focus with a boot grafted on.

That's when we’ll find out the name of this new Lotus – codenamed Eagle – but in the meantime the company is teasing us with some new details.
