Dear Omss,
This week on autoexpress.co.uk we bring you the first official details of two exciting new launches on the horizon. We have the first official pictures of Mazda’s Evoque rival, the CX-5 ahead of its September debut. We also bring you the news that Nissan’s MX-5 rival is back on the agenda, after plans to revive the legendary rear-wheel-drive 200SX were shelved back in 2008. Read all the details here. We have news of a new entry-level Ford Focus Studio and new, limited edition MINI Soho, as well as spy shots of the next Merc SL out testing. We’ve been behind the wheel of the more powerful Audi R8 GT coupe, BMW’s flagship X3 30d M Sport and the limited edition Peugeot RCZ Asphalt. Find out what we think of them here. And finally, you can win a Lotus Evora S for a year with our sister magazine evo. Click here to enter the competition for your chance to drive the supercharged version of the evo 2009 Car of the Year and become a guest correspondent writing for evo. Regards Dan Strong Digital Editor |
