Whoever handles the marketing for Peugeot in this country is doing a really good job of keeping secrets. We went about town to look at a used 206 GTI (for use as a benchmark car), and the owner told us he had already ordered a 207 RC last month. So we go to Peugeot’s UAE dealer website and, amazingly enough, the whole 207 model range and prices are posted.
Already revealed as a coupe, the BMW M3 was known to have a sedan and convertible bodystyle in the works too. And now, the 414 hp M3 sedan has just been unveiled.
A soft-top convertible version of the 2008 BMW 1-Series has been unveiled in Europe, even before the coupe version has gone on worldwide sale. Like the coupe, the convertible will also be available in a top-of-the-range 135i variant, among others.
A number of new cars were launched this month, although not all of them had the fancy launch party that Nissan had. BMW didn’t even have a party for their Rolls and Mini models.

In recent years, BMW has started showing off “concept” versions of near-production models. Keeping up this new tradition, they’ve unveiled the “concept” BMW X6 crossover 4WD coupe whatever at the 2007 Frankfurt Auto Show.
Three new German wagons will debut at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show – the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG wagon, the Audi RS6 Avant, and the Porsche Cayenne GTS (which technically is a off-road 4WD, but who uses it as one?).
Five new cars were launched in Dubai in the last few days, with more to follow. These include the Mitsubishi Lancer, the Mitsubishi Outlander, the Honda Legend, the Toyota FJ Cruiser and the Volvo C30.
This apparently is a leaked first photo of the “new” Audi A4. It looks like it has some sort of sport kit on it. We are not sure if the platform is new, since the car looks like a simple facelift yet again, but we found some other info.
The 2009 Jaguar XF has been unveiled, as a replacement for the aging S-Type. However, engines continue to be the same.
