Renault will be launching various new models at the upcoming 2008 Abu Dhabi Auto Show next week. Sitting among the new models will be the attractive 2009 Renault Laguna Coupe.
Photos of the upcoming 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class have been leaked onto the web before its official debut at the 2009 Detroit Auto Show in January. Judging by its looks, maybe the German manufacturer should keep the current model running a little while longer instead of releasing this muddled-up monstrosity.
Anyone who bugs about my crappy photography skills will be referred to these images. These were taken with a regular point-and-shoot Nikon digital camera that I bought in 2005. The photos have been quickly modified using the free 2001 edition of PaintShop Pro 6, because I never did figure out PhotoShop. It’s not that I don’t know how to take photos. I just prefer to spend my time doing other things when I get a car, like, you know, drive. Wishing you all a happy and enjoyable Eid Mubarak!
Audi is launching the latest variant of its beached whale at the 2009 Detroit Auto Show. The R8 will now receive a version of the V10 that powers the Gallardo.
Supplies for the U.S. military apparently pass through Pakistani sea-ports on their way to Afghanistan. On Sunday, armed militants blasted their way into two transport terminals in Pakistan and torched more than 160 vehicles, including more than 70 Humvees.
The 2009 Peugeot 407 is now on sale in Dubai and the UAE. The new model receives a minor facelift, but engine choices remain the same as before.
General Motors Middle East is heavily promoting the 2009 Chevrolet Aveo5 hatchback as a hip new car for young people. As part of a major advertising campaign (which we’ve been left out of), the Aveo5 is being touted as base for customisations with various dealer-installed modifications, all under warranty.
We recently got this Jaguar XKR Portfolio in our stable for a few days. Since we had already tested the standard Jaguar XKR earlier this year, reviewing this largely-similar car would’ve been repetitive, so we used it for a photo-shoot around random places in Dubai. The photos were taken by Rashmi Michael.
The tuning arm of Nissan has already unveiled a modified version of the yet-to-be-on-sale Nissan 370Z. Dubbed the Nismo 370Z S-Tune, it concentrates more on handling than on engine performance.
