2011 Mercedes CLS Photos
Official photos with the 2011 Mercedes CLS have leaked online, completely revealing both the exterior and interior of the newest 4-door coupe coming from Germany.
You can easily spot the resemblance with the Shooting Brake Concept, especially at the front where we have the large grille and the aggressive looking bumper, as well as the LED headlights. The 2011 Mercedes CLS will be offered with four engine options, out of which two petrol and two diesels. The two petrol units that are fitted on the CLS 350 CGI and CLS 550 CGI are a 3.5-litre V6 rated rated at 301 bhp (225 kW) and 368 Nm (272 lb-ft) of torque and a 4.6-litre twin-trubo V8 producing 429 bhp (320 kW) and 700 Nm (516 lb-ft) of torque.
2012 Honda Civic spy video
The 2012 Honda Civic was spied during road testing in Germany, but we can’t exactly tell anything about its styling as this prototype version was still covered in black metal sheets. Overall the 2012 does look lie its going to maintain most if its current aspect, with the back door handles hidden in the corner, so we’re guessing the company will restyle its front and rear areas plus concentrate on its new engines.
As we’ve mentioned before the 2.2-litre unit featured on the current model will not be offered on the 2012 Honda Civic, so we’re thinking a smaller turbocharged or even a hybrid powertrain could be the way to go.

We’ve just received an interesting e-mail that looks like a conversation between personnel at Lotus, and we don’t know if this was some sort of mistake, or just the British automakers way of announcing two of their new models that that are scheduled to debut at this year’s Paris Motor Show.
These two models that get mentioned in the e-mail conversation are the Lotus Evora S and Evora Auto, which will not be the only vehicles to premiere in Paris, so we’re expecting something interesting that won’t be based on the Evora.
