Lamborghini's CEO, Stephan Winkelmann, has suggested that the company may add a third model to its line-up in the guise of an "everyday" car that could grow the brand's presence in such emerging markets as China.     Zafira Tourer revealed   Baby Jaguar delayed     A funky Dodge?   A hotter hybrid     Gordini and GT line models launched locally   Which engine for the next M3?           Hot hatches and heated debates Kelly Lodewyks writes... [E-mail the author] Hot-hatch shootouts always stir some sort of emotional debate within the CAR office. We all have our preferences and we all have our reasons for choosing the pocket rocket on which we're set. At the end of it, there is always someone who's left disappointed in the result. The shootout between the Volkswagen Polo GTI, Alfa Romeo MiTo QV and Opel Corsa OPC was perhaps one of the most debated. You can read the write-up in the June issue of CAR to see what the end result was. Do you agree with us? On the topic of hot hatches, Renault recently launched its Clio RS Gordini and GT line sports pack for its Mégane models. You can read about it on CARmag.co.za. The June issue also features Hannes Oosthuizen's full driving impression of the beautiful Lamborghini Aventador and a test of the latest entry into the A-segment – the Toyota Aygo. This model will soon have some strong competition in the form of the new Kia Picanto. Recently launched in Istanbul, the Picanto is set to reach our shores sometime in July. As if this wasn't enough to send you rushing out to grab the June issue or to log on to our website, we also have some great competitions. Not only can you stand a chance to win a trip to the Abu Dhabi F1 GP with Shell Helix, but we are also giving away some other exciting prizes as well.
