The facelifted-for-2012 Eos is our second test car from VW after the Tiguan, so we got to try out the rather-entertaining 2.0-litre TSI turbo yet again. Of course, there is more to this car than just the engine.
So MINI is not really elated about their existing line-up comprising various sizes ranging from sub-compacts to crossovers, but all based on the same design – and probably this gave birth to their all new “super-compact” MINI Coupe. The performance focused Coupe is engineered to deliver the thrills of a go-kart and achieve performance figures which makes it the sportiest MINI ever.
Mercedes-Benz will launch their redesigned 2012 M-Class at the end of this summer, with three engine choices, two diesel and only one petrol. The M-Class will be initially offered in ML250 Bluetec, ML350 Bluetec and ML350 BlueEfficiency variants, with hybrid and AMG versions coming later.
The BMW 535i Gran Turismo is not with us any more. It was taken away from us in less than a month for “internal use” but after asking for it back numerous times, we’ve given up on seeing it again. We figured we should give it some proper coverage before closing the chapter on it, so here is a look at this luxury car’s luxurious interior.
Al-Futtaim Honda, exclusive distributors of Honda vehicles, motorcycles, marine engines, power products and parts today announced the UAE-wide launch of a new motor finance package called ‘Honda Advantages.’

Mercedes-Benz has released teasers of their all new 2012 SLS AMG Roadster ahead of its official debut at the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show. The Roadster is nothing but the SLS Coupe sans the fancy gullwing doors, loosely based on the legendary 300 SL Roadster.
The Honda Jazz, a sub-compact hatchback, is the kind of car that should be dominating its segment. And yet, it is the Toyota Yaris and the Nissan Tiida that have a stranglehold on sales, making the Jazz a niche product. For a while, we thought it was the price. Starting at a ridiculous Dhs 63,999 nowadays, and topping out at Dhs 71,999, you could buy a midsize sedan for that kind of dough, let alone a pint-sized runabout. But there was a time many years ago when the Jazz was actually cheap, and even then it wasn’t a familiar sight on Dubai roads.
