2012 Volkswagen Golf VI R Cabrio Spied Near Nürburgring


Volkswagen will show the new seventh generation Golf next month at the Paris Motor Show. It would make sense that the current generation Golf VI production will be finished soon, but looking at the latest photos from the Nürburgring it looks like Volkswagen could have more plans with the current generation Golf.

All-new "dynamic" Toyota Auris launched


Toyota will launch the second-generation Auris at next month’s Paris Motor Show.

In an unusually candid description of the thinking behind the new model, Toyota said, “New Auris is the latest model to reflect Toyota’s determination to engineer cars that are more appealing and dynamically engaging to drive, while building on its long-established reputation for quality, durability and reliability.”

New Astra Convertible at Paris

There is no official word from Vauxhall, but it seems certain that an Astra-based convertible will be launched at the Paris Motor Show in September.

The latest rumour (of many) comes from industry website www.just-auto.com which says it will go into production in Poland in early 2013, and will feature a fabric roof, rather than a folding metal one. It will be based on the Astra GTC Coupe, which is certainly not a bad place to start: the GTC is a good-looking car and has a decent chassis.
