The Beetle Dune Concept of the Volkswagen will be a two-door hybrid coupe for four passengers. The fuel efficiency of the vehicle will be one of the attracting points; the vehicle will be efficient enough to deliver 40 mpg for the city while, on the highway, it delivers 45 mpg. The vehicle will be powered by the turbocharged engine and electric motor.

Not many brands have soared back from oblivion as convincingly as Kia, and by looking at the 2016 Sorento, you would find it hard to believe that the Kia products were once  an attraction for subprime shoppers looking for low monthly installments. The Kia warranty of 10-year/10,000-mile for Powertrain helped to wipe out those bad times.

It is a rare occasion when the name of a car model becomes ironic when it is still at the production level. However, there were exceptions like the Ford Aspire and the Chevy Monte Carlo, made very few appearances on the street. The subject of contention is the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR for 2015, and the name hardly matches its status of a car that is already a dead car on the roll.

The new Alfa Romeo Model 4C Spider is convertible, but not a convertible like the Aston Vanquish Volante is a roll top. The featherweight Spider in place has a soft roll-up top that can be stored in the very compact trunk after use, which spares just enough room to stuff your lunch pack and a knapsack. If you do not want the soft top then you can for $3500 buy a carbon fiber hardtop which can be lifted off.

Soon the Mercedes-Benz SL will go through a restyling, but prior to the fixing of the facelift aesthetics the German automaker is coming up with a special edition, the Mille Miglia 417, dedicated to the memory of a legend. This car is an interpretation of a modern day 300SL which took part in the Millie Miglia 1995.

When the Miata was launched by Mazda, it did not conceal that it is the clone of the Lotus Elan without oil leak. The new model achieved instant popularity with buyers who remembered the past roadsters and classic MGs, and the Spiders of Alfa Romeo. All this has happened so quickly you lose the sense of time and Mazda for its 2016 MX-5 Miata has gone back to the original template while conceiving its design.  

Lots of analysis and energy were wasted in measuring speed and stories were entirely focused on straight-line acceleration, and what a 707-hp muscle car could do to various tires on the drag strips, etc. There were even attempts to energize rental cars to achieve top speeds. Here we need to stop and introduce something that is not fast, the 2015 Ford Focus EcoBoost Sedan 3-cylinder. 

Evaluation of BMW model 435i xDrive coupe with the all-wheel-drive can be ticked off with a jocular comment that the lineup of 3 and 4 series have already grown to comical levels, but we are already aware of it. Here we are actually testing an actual two-door coupe of the four series fitted with the excellent inline-six turbocharged engine of BMW and all-wheel-drive.

When we landed at the natural surroundings located at 2800 feet above sea level, with no city in sight for the next four hours, we were surprised when a flock of tourists started taking our photos. It is not our macho-man physic or the chiseled features that compelled them to do so, but the fleet of 2016 Bentley Continental GT coupes in candy hue that we arrived at the Norwegian mountaintop.   

Minivans are termed as unattractive, but even the hardest critic will agree that a high–profile, Toyota Sienna, Chrysler Town and Country and Honda Odyssey with leather encased reclining seats, video screens, and other modern day digital gadgetries that they are utmost cozy to drive and live. Now the latest comes with the 2016 Mercedes-Benz Metris, so beware, Chrysler, Toyota, and Honda, a battle is on.
