Marchionne put high on the upcoming model, according to the CEO, the SUV the group in Europe get out of the doldrums.

Reportedly, the tough Alfa Romeo technique to share with the current Dodge Dart, which in turn is related to the Giulietta. In the Mirafiori factory, the SUV will see the light of day. The new apple of Marchionne must go up against cars like the BMW X3 and Audi Q5.

With the imminent return of Alfa Romeo in the United States Marchionne has his sights on the continent. He wants the company less dependent on the single European car sales.

With great enthusiasm, our spy photographer sends these photos of the Volkswagen cross up! by. "Completely --!” He opens his mail. The car is part of Volkswagens winter test team currently in northern Scandinavia the first kilometers through the icy cold makes.

Volkswagen presented the cross up! September last year already at the IAA in Frankfurt. Then perhaps as a concept, but Volkswagen made quite quickly that the model would go into production virtually unchanged. Indeed, we reason in January of this year the first kilometers with a prototype of the model.

15 mm
all things considered the cross up! Neither more nor less than a five-door up! 15 millimeters more ground clearance, which is tougher bumper work and a few plastic inserts on the wheel arches. A cross here and there and it -- benjamin so can be wheeled into the showrooms. How seriously this test work is performed is therefore debatable. Maybe Volkswagen the car are very conscious in the spotlight driven. A little attention to an imminent launch is never wrong. Well, mission accomplished!

Hyundai recently unstoppable. Evidently, after removing the slick-looking brand-new products, Hyundai is now coming out of environmentally friendly technologies. Channeled via seriousness of their segment model B, Hyundai I30 plug in hybrids.

Although there is still no information about the detailed specifications of the car, or where the car hatchback is offered, but obviously if the Hyundai I30 plug in hybrid is ready to threaten Toyota Prius Plug in version 2012.
