Range Rover

* Model: Volkswagen Passat CC 1.8 TSI
* Bodystyle: four-door saloon
* Engine: 1.8 turbo petrol, direct injection
* Transmission: six-speed manual, front-wheel drive


This is Volkswagen's 'other' coupé. The four-door Passat CC may have been introduced first, but it seems likely that the Golf-based Scirocco is going to overshadow it if there's to be any kind of must buy VW fastback. Which is a shame, as the CC is a great car.

No idea what Veedub was thinking with that name though. Why build a fixed-head coupe, then burden it with initials associated with folding hardtop coupé-convertibles? Nevermind. Attractively swoopy, strong-jawed and distinguished, it drives well, offers decent comfort levels and boasts a choice of petrol and diesel turbo engines, plus a 3.6-litre petrol V6.

In Europe, it's common to see several smart cars sharing a single parallel parking space, with their diminutive front bumpers against the curb and the rear facing traffic. Try that in New York city, and you'll likely get towed. Instead, smart fortwo owners can take advantage of Meyers Parking's half price offer: 50% off daily and monthly parking rates in the city.

In a press release (available after the jump), Mike Carolan of Meyers parking said, "We are excited to offer smart owners a discount, as it seems only appropriate that smart owners pay half price since they only take up half the space."

We agree you shouldn't be charged for a full space when you only have half a car. With the cost of parking in the Big Apple, this deal alone could move a few more of the colorful little two-seaters.

The new 9-4x will be a sporty looking SUV with a style that ing draws strong inspiration from the acclaimed Aero X concept. No word on when we are likely to get the official details but the Detroit Auto Show in January looks a good bet for its unveiling.


Prototypes spotted in the past have sported a thick layer of camouflage making it difficult to spot much of the design details but these latest shots caught by our spies this week reveal even more of the Saab DNA that is hiding beneath.


The platform for the Saab 9-4x was originally developed to be shared with the Cadillac SRX, but from an early stage the two projects went in different directions. First images and details of the Cadillac version has already been released ahead of its unveiling in November, however the Saab 9-4x has been found lagging behind.

VW will transfer about 200 cars from Germany to Iceland, all from 100 Golf MK6 to 40 VW Pheaton, VW Touareg R50, VW Passat R36 and VW Multivan Busniess Edition.


What is the point of having a glitzy unveiling under the lights of Paris when the model has already hit the streets? A valid question that could be asked by many after a reader at Golfmk6 forum grabbed a few of shots of 100 models of the 6th generation Volkswagen Golf that were spotted arriving in Iceland ahead of a planned press event towards the end of the month. Not that we're complaining, its great to see what the model looks like in the real world and our conclusion: Volkswagen have yet another winner.
Styling features on the new model shares strong characteristics with the new Sciricco and sees the Golf inherit a sportier feel to it. Pricing for the model will start at €16,500 (German market) which represents a premium of €200 over the current model and as usual for the Golf, the large array of engine options will be available again. Four gasoline engines will be available from launch starting with two normally aspirated engines making 59 kW / 80 PS, 75 kW / 102 PS. Then TSI in either supercharged and/or turbocharged form making 90 kW / 122 PS and 118 kW / 160 PS. These will be backed up with a choice of two 2.0 liter TDI engines making 81 kW / 110 PS and 103 kW / 140 PS.
