Remember that quirky youth car from Kia, strangely called “Soul”? Although, not as extremely popular as the Sportage or even the Cerato, Kia has decided to spice up the competition by giving it a mid-cycle update. At the 2011 New York Auto Show, the 2012 Kia Soul was revealed with some welcome improvements, including new styling and mechanicals.
The “new” Ford Taurus was just launched last year as a 2010 model, but the American carmaker is already showing a facelifted 2013 model at the 2011 New York Auto Show, with new engines and cabin tech.
The 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 has just debuted at the 2011 New York Auto Show. The fastest Jeep ever built is based on the all-new 2011 Grand Cherokee that was released last year, and the SRT8 version seemed inevitable, even with fears of cancellation during Chrysler’s brief bankruptcy.
This is the all-new 2012 Audi Q3. It is a rebodied VW Tiguan, and falls in the sub-compact crossover segment, alongside more original competitors such as the Infiniti EX and the BMW X1.
Swedish automaker Volvo have upgraded their XC70 and S80 models mildly on the outside and mainly on the inside for 2012, by applying some mild touch-ups, adding some safety features and improving the infotainment system.
This drive was a long time coming. The “Xtreme” package for the Toyota Land Cruiser has been around since late 2008, with any of the LC trims and engines. Modified by an Icelandic firm called Arctic Trucks at their Dubai-based workshop with a full UAE dealer warranty, the Xtreme makes a Land Cruiser look hopped up on steroids, and is now available for the “new” 5.7-litre V8 model that debuted in the GCC recently.
General Motors has been releasing stupid “teaser” photos online of the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu in a bid to get multiple stories out of insipid bloggers. However, the first full photo of the redesigned Malibu has been leaked, although it is very likely GM “leaked” it themselves for publicity.

This is the 2012 Nissan Tiida, as seen in Chinese-spec trim. It looks much better than the current model, and now has a longer wheelbase than the Honda Civic, putting it firmly in the compact category, larger than the current sub-compact.
