The 2012 Dunlop 24 Hours of Dubai endurance race scheduled to be held at the Dubai Autodrome from 12 January to 14 January will be expectedly as spectacular as it has always been. But what may take on the spectators with surprise will be the pace car zipping around the track, which is going to be the Nissan Juke-R.
Bentley is gearing up for the 2012 Detroit Auto Show to unveil a new range of Continental GT and Continental GTC models, sporting an all-new V8 engine and complementing the flagship W12 Continental models.
The 2012 Toyota Land Cruiser was released in Japan this month, although it isn’t much different from the current version.
The 2012 Nissan GT-R is easily the most significant premium sports car to come out this year. The ironic part is it isn’t even completely new, and yet, we were completely blown away by this latest version.
The 2012 Toyota Camry is indeed the most anticipated midsize sedan to be launched this year. Between this, the Yaris, the Prado and the Land Cruiser, Toyota dominates a huge chunk of the GCC market. Does that make the new Toyota Camry the best family car in the market? Not by a long shot, although if you asked us, we wouldn’t be sure which one among the competition is better in every aspect.
Ah, the Pilot. Honda’s largest offering. Thanks to its styling, it never gets the attention it deserves, compared to the new Ford Explorer and the default Toyota Prado. Honda trise to address that with a 2012 refreshening.
The 2012 Toyota Camry is finally on sale in the UAE. The much-anticipated new model is a major upgrade of the outgoing one rather than a full redesign, and still hails from Australia. There is also a major shift in the trim levels.

The course introduces drivers to “the key forms of proper sports driving and gives them a true driving experience” while using cars fitted with Bridgestone Potenza tyres.

It seems Mercedes-Benz is keen towards blending retro looks with lush avant-gardism, the result being something as elegant and stylish as the all-new 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL. And what we see here are the official images of the new SL-Class from the Stuttgart denizens.
The Jeep Jamboree is an annual event held in various parts of the world, where Jeep owners get together and go offroad over the course of a day. The UAE edition, of course, involves a whole lot of sand, and we were one of the few media peeps invited for the 2011 run, us being actual Jeep owners notwithstanding. While the general public had to bring their own Jeeps, we were given a factory-fresh 2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, the one with the new “Pentastar” 3.6-litre V6. We were really looking forward to driving that one, and we were getting to do it straight where it belongs.
