Video: Chevrolet C7 Corvette digital gauges teased

Chevrolet has released a new teaser video of its new C7 Corvette revealing more interior details and its new digital gauge cluster. With the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette's debut at the Detroit auto show rapidly approaching, the carmaker's latest teaser shows a new 200-mph speedometer and an all-digital screen featuring a large, centralized tachometer and information display. The latest teaser comes two weeks after another video showed the new Corvette testing in the wind tunnel, giving us minor glimpses of the C7. Within the first five seconds you can see a profile shot of the covered-up C7 before some flashes of design sketches.

Fiat 500 in New York

Lexus IS 300h promises unrivalled ownership costs

The new Lexus IS - launched at Detroit in January and costing from £26,495 for the IS 250 in the UK – actually offers ownership costs that eclipse diesel offerings from the likes of Jaguar, BMW, Audi and Mercedes, say Lexus. Despite the logical assumption that the complex hybrid powerplant in the IS 300h would cost more to maintain, Lexus say the opposite is true. Because it has no clutch and the starter motor and alternator are integrated they require no servicing or replacement and Lexus has fitted a timing chain instead of a timing belt, so it won’t need regular replacement either.
