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 ...

Rated 3 out of 53

Tim Pollard, 27 September 2010 14:42

Ford is readying its smallest EcoBoost engine yet – and the new 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol will appear in the new C-Max. Our spy photographers caught the new C-Max testing the downsized petrol engine in the Alps. Ford’s new 1.0-litre triple will become the smallest engine yet seen in a midi-MPV, which rarely dip below 1.4 litres in capacity. But Ford’s ...

Vauxhall Astra three-door (2011) new spy photos

Rated 2 out of 52

Tim Pollard, 22 June 2010 06:13

CAR's spies have caught the new three-door Vauxhall Astra out on test 18 months ahead of its debut. Although the Astra Sport Hatch replacement will be unveiled at the 2010 Paris motor show this autumn, we understand it won't appear in Vauxhall showrooms until later in 2011.Why the long delay? GM's bout in bankruptcy protection put certain projects on the ...

Alfa Romeo Giulietta (2010) interior spy photos

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Tim Pollard, 26 January 2010 10:25

Alfa Romeo issued three photographs of the new Giulietta hatchback just before Christmas 2009 – but the only interior photo was a limited, rear-facing shot. Fortunately, our nosy spy photographers have bagged a brace of scoop photos inside the new Giulietta's cabin giving us a flavour of the interior style. The new 2010 Alfa Giulietta replaces the slow-selling 147 as ...

Peugeot 508 (2011): the new spy photos

Rated 2 out of 52

Tim Pollard, 21 January 2010 09:50

Peugeot is preparing its new 508 – the family car to replace the 407 and 607 next year. Although the name is not yet confirmed, we hear that the Peugeot 508 badge is most likely at its 2011 launch and the company pledges it will inject some interest and a clear proposition into a model line-up that’s been wayward ever ...

Vauxhall Astra Sport Hatch and GSi scooped (2011)

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Tim Pollard, 09 October 2009 09:18

Our guy with the long lens and a penchant for being nosy has grabbed these first shots of Vauxhall/Opel's new three-door Astra, the Sport Hatch. This is an engineering mule, hence the five doors, but it's been confirmed to us that underneath the bodyshell lies the hardware of the three-door Astra due in late 2011. Continuing the current positioning of ...

Rated 3 out of 53

Tim Pollard, 05 October 2009 11:16

The Vauxhall Antara's US adventure is over. Our spies have caught the Vauxhall/Opel Antara testing registered on Michigan plates, but its intended Saturn sponsor has had the rug pulled from under its feet, dashing its chances of launching Stateside. Last week, GM pulled the plug on its Saturn brand as part of a shake-up post bankruptcy. That spells the end ...

Range Rover LRX (2011): the first spy photos

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Tim Pollard, 21 September 2009 11:54

These are the first spyshots of the Land Rover-based mule for the new 2011 Range Rover LRX. The cut-and-shut Freelander bodyshell is clearly truncated enough to shrink around the running gear of the 2011 LRX, the much-hyped baby Range Rover which will move the 4x4 brand into new, greener and cleaner territories.This LRX mule was only registered in the first ...

Our spies out in the US have caught the ‘new compact sedan’, aka the new 2010 VW Jetta, out on test in the sizzling heat of the American desert. The new 2010 Jetta is the latest take on the VW Golf MK6 architecture, so expect an array of new engines and gizmos to give the slow-burning Jetta a lift. Insiders ...

Rated 2 out of 52

Tim Pollard, 10 July 2009 11:35

These spy photos confirm that the new Mini SUV, the 2010 4x4 addition to the Mini family, has a conventionally hinged tailgate. Those van-doors – à la Mini Clubman – visible on the rump of the prototypes are mere disguise and nothing more.Our friends over at Automotive Traveler caught the Mini SUV testing in Death Valley, undergoing extreme heat trials. ...
