Now the Germans say no to Volvo

As we’ve reported in the last few weeks, Ford has been trying its best to offload Volvo, the last of its ‘Prestige’ Euro marques. The Chinese looked to be the best bet, but it seems that that is going nowhere at the moment (the Chinese are probably waiting for Ford to get in to an even deeper mess with the hope of picking up Volvo for peanuts) and now its seems that Ford’s fire-sale has drawn more blanks. Now the Germans turn down the chance to own Volvo Der Spiegel reports that Daimler (Mercedes-Benz) boss Dieter Zetsche has revealed that Daimler has turned down the chance to buy Volvo, and has also revealed that BMW has had a good look, and reached the same decision.

Mercedes plans electric version of SLS AMG supercar

Huge news at Mercedes-Benz: Engineers from its AMG performance-car offshoot are developing a plug-in electric version of the upcoming SLS supercar as part of a broad-based efficiency program to place the automaker at the leading edge of socially acceptable performance-car motoring. Tentatively planned for production in 2015, the new zero-emission supercar draws heavily on the production version of the yet-to-be-fully-revealed SLS scheduled to get its first public outing at the Frankfurt motor show on Sept. 15.

New Chevrolet Camaro will cost from £35,320 in UK

The facelifted Chevrolet Camaro will arrive in the UK in November 2013 The current Chevrolet Camaro only hit the UK around a year ago, but with a facelift for the Camaro debuting at the New York Auto Show this year the new Camaro is on its way to the UK, with prices starting from £35,320. The changes to the 2014 Camaro amount to a new nose with wider grill and slimmer lights, a set of vents on the bonnet with a new boot lid, diffuser and lights at the back that somehow contrive to make the Camaro look like a Japanese import. Under the bonnet is the same American Muscle engine – a 6.2 litre V8 – with 426bhp if you opt for the manual gearbox and 400bhp if you go for the auto option, with standard equipment including Keyless, MyLink (which gives you a 7″ touchscreen, rear view camera and voice recognition), SatNav and colour heads-up display.
