Aston Martin’s 2015 Lagonda saloon revealed on way to Oman

By Tim Pollard First Official Pictures 29 August 2014 08:13 Aston Martin’s wedgy new Lagonda super-saloon was flown to Oman for testing this week, affording us this fresh look at the Middle East-only four-door. Oman Air publicised its role in transporting this prototype out to Muscat ‘as part of its early testing programme.’ We hope it travelled first class; the Lagonda will only be offered on sale to its wealthiest clients in the region. It’s only one month since Aston Martin confirmed the Lagonda project and issued a solitary teaser image of the saloon, side-on and shrouded in shadows.

New Citroen Grand C4 Picasso – launches January 2014

The New Citroen Grand C4 Picasso (pictured) launches in the UK January 2014 If a Citroen C4 Picasso just isn’t big enough to plant your brood in, Citroen has always had an answer in the shape of the 7-seat Citroen Grand C4 Picasso. And now there’s a new one. Citroen has revealed the new Grand C4 Picasso early, ahead of an on sale date of January 2014 in the UK, which is even more capacious than the old Grand C4 and gets some styling changes to mark it out from its 5-seat sibling.

New Ford Mondeo: Estate, Hybrid and 4WD

The 2013 Ford Mondeo will come as a regular five door and estate but there will also be a four wheel diesel and a hybrid option. We’ve already reported that the new Mondeo will get the 1.0 litre EcoBoost engine as an option – the first time any car in the D Segment has had such a small engine – but there’s more to the new Mondeo than just a headline little engine and an Aston Martin grill. As well as the frugal EcoBoost engine, Ford will also be launching their first hybrid in Europe with a Mondeo Hybrid boasting a 2.0-litre petrol engine with a 35kW lithium-ion battery to trim official emissions and consumption as much as possible.
