Peugeot 408 2011 sedan for Chinese market
Hatchbacks are only popular in Europe. Anywhere else, sedans always outsell any other body style, and China is no different. That’s why Peugeot has launched a new sedan model specifically for the Chinese market, called the 408. Interestingly, it is not a replacement for the 407, but rather a sedan version of the 308.

Comparo: 2010 Honda Jazz vs Mini Cooper S Cabrio

2010 Detroit Auto Show: Photo coverage
The North American International Auto Show, better known as the Detroit Auto Show, is normally the largest show of its kind every year, but the 2010 edition is a less grand affair than before, with a limited number of new launches and even fewer extravagant concepts. The flavour of the year seems to be environmentally-friendlier cars such as the Ford Focus and the Honda CR-Z, and near-production concepts such as the Chevrolet Aveo and the Cadillac XTS. Actual new models include the Ford Mustang GT 5.0, the Cadillac CTS-V Coupe, the BMW Z4 sDrive35is, the Lincoln MKX and the Jeep Liberty Renegade,
