VW Golf Mk7 (2012) scooped on test in Europe

Rated 4 out of 54

Tim Pollard, 18 January 2012 18:01

Volkswagen will later in 2012 unveil the new seventh-generation of the Golf family, but our spies have caught a prototype on test in Europe. These new spy photos of theVW Golf Mk7 confirm that it's evolution rather than revolution; hardly surprising, since every Golf iteration since launch in the 1970s has been a gentle polish-up of its predecessor. VW Golf ...

This is the new 2012 Seat Leon a year ahead of its planned debut. Our spy photographers caught the new family hatch on test on the Continent.

Rated 3 out of 53

This is the new Volvo V30, a new model tipped to slot between the C30 hatch and V50 estate. Volvo top brass freely admit they cocked up when they launched the C30 as a three-door coupe-style hatch when most buyers demand the practicality of five doors. So the new model - yet to be officially named but loosely dubbed V30 ...

Our man with the long lens at the Nurburgring got more than he bargained for recently. During the recent blazing hot Indian summer, he spied a car covered in snow. After a double-take and a quick pinch, he rattled off a few photos of the snow-covered BMW 1-series as it trundled past in the late summer sun. Artificial snow? At ...

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Tim Pollard, 20 June 2011 14:53

We've been telling you for some time that the new 2012 Mercedes A-class would be more of a Golf rival than a tallboy mini-MPV on stilts. Now we've got the proof: new spy photos scooping the new A-class in the metal. This spy shot confirms the new W176 family A-class will be repositioned as a much more conventional hatchback to ...

Although hiding under a very heavy disguise, this is a test hack for the new Leon which we hear is being readied for launch in 2011.It's hard to see much under the sack cloth rags worn by this prototype, as it boards a lorry ...

Rated 2 out of 52

Tim Pollard, 23 July 2010 10:24

Is Honda readying a Civic facelift? The current Honda Civic was launched in 2005 and there's been barely any stylistic change since. Hardly surprising, since it looked like a Honda from the Planet Zog when it first arrived, all space-age wedge and modernist details in the place of traditional Civic conservatism.Most of the revisions to the range have been sporting ...
