We knew the new front-wheel-drive 2014 Chevrolet Impala wouldn’t cut it in the Saudi market, where the love of big rear-wheel-drive sedans runs strong, even after the demise of the Ford Crown Victoria. So it came as no surprise when a reader dropped us a note saying the long-running Caprice is back in Saudi Arabian showrooms as a 2014 model, with a few changes.

The 458 is clearly the prettiest Ferrari in the market, and it’s been further enhanced with a stripe. Or that’s what is visible from the outside.

You’ve seen it everywhere from TV shows to games, but it was about time that Porsche quit playing and revealed the production version of the 918 Spyder at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show.

Land Rover recently revealed the new LR4 to the public eye at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show. Few minor changes have been made to the exterior and interior to make it more “current”. It is one of Land Rover’s best selling models so they went with the “if it ain’t broke, why fix it?” philosophy.
The Nissan X-Trail had been up and about in the Middle-East since 2002. There had been no significant change in the vehicle’s design since its inception, the current X-Trail gaining some notoriety in the UAE due to the fact it is used by the Dubai Police for carrying mobile speed radars. The all-new 2014 Nissan X-Trail has officially been unveiled at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show this week. Incidentally, it is intended to be sold in several markets under different names, so our long-running version might finally be replaced in the coming years.
