For a good while, BMW had the bragging rights for the highest luxury sales in the GCC in certain segments, according to their own figures, thanks largely to the 7-Series nabbing the top spot in the full-size category. But at a recent event, Mercedes-Benz announced that they had regained the lead for luxury sales in the GCC.
It is all over for the 2107, as Lada confirmed last week that they were ceasing the production of their long-standing model, which is also known as the Riva. It began touring the roads of Russia since the 1970s, and is known to have Fiat origins.
Mercedes-Benz first broke cover on the Citan back in February, but they have revealed its production version in Amsterdam, ahead of its September debut at the IAA Commercial Vehicles show in Hanover, Germany.
Lamborghini has finally decided to build an SUV, having recently dabbled in building a sedan previously that never went beyond the concept stage. The funny-sounding Lamborghini Urus is only a 4×4 concept for now, but is largely expected to make it into production.
Mercedes-Benz has revealed further details about their updated G-Wagen. Joining the mildly-updated 388 hp G 500 is the all-new 544 hp G63 AMG replacing the G55 AMG, as well as a limited-production 612 hp G65 AMG. The debut is set for the 2012 Beijing Motor Show, a sign that China is the hottest car market in the world right now.
Despite the fact that the performance of the new M5 is undoubtedly quite impressive, specialist tuners from Manhart Racing stepped up the ante to have come up with the all-new MH5 S Biturbo.
Jaguar has officially confirmed the production of the F-Type roadster, which will be based on the C-X16 concept that debuted in the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show.
Porsche is all set to introduce the second generation of their Porsche Cayenne GTS model, based on the latest Cayenne, at the 2012 Beijing Motor Show which is due to begin this month.
We got a call the other day from BMW, offering us an X3 for a test-drive. While we weren’t particularly looking forward to checking out a compact crossover, we agreed to take a look anyway. It is a BMW after all.
Mercedes-Benz has released details on the 2013 Mercedes-Benz G-Class, and the changes remain expectedly limited. The models on offer in the GCC include the G 500 and the new G 63 AMG and G 65 AMG models.
