Geneva Debut: 2009 Renault Megane Sport Tourer...

2009 Renault Megane Sport Tourer Estate While sharing the same front-end styling with the new Megane hatchback models, the station wagon variant features a distinct rear-end design with split tail lights. Compared to the outgoing Megane estate, the new Sport Tourer features a 'swoopier' and lower roofline that offers the car a more dynamic appearance than its predecessor, but this could also mean that it is less practical.



Don't expect any surprises under the hood as the Sport Tourer will be offered with same gasoline and diesel unit as the hatchback. The petrol engine range will include 100HP and 110HP 1.6-liter units, a 140HP 2.0-liter and the turbocharged 130HP 1.4TCe and 180HP 2.0TCe. Diesel options will include 1.5 dCi 85HP, 90 HP, 105 HP and 110 HP units along with more powerful 130 HP, 150HP and 160 HP variants.


The next-generation Renault Megane Sport Tourer - you can simply call it an estate or a station wagon- has been scooped without a single trace of camouflage ahead of its world premiere at the forthcoming Geneva Motor Show. Caught by our friends over at the Auto Hoje forums, the 2009 Megane Sport Tourer was discovered in the city of Lisbon in Portugal during a filming for an advertising campaign.

AC Schnitzer BMW 7-Series F01/F02 Program for Geneva Presentation

AC Schnitzer's BMW 7 Series kit is set to wow Geneva next week. Fitted to the new 7 Series the kit is made for a sporty image while making a powerful statement as a large luxury sedan. The front lip is one of the first changes one notices. Then the side skirts seem to widen the car's poise and enhance its already muscular look.


AC Schnitzer tailpipes heighten the experience with two exhaust channels rounded by a chromed trapezoid trim. In between them an air diffuser is fitted. The rear look is completed by a boot spoiler and a rear roof spoiler.


Wheels come in several designs including the five-spoke V alloy look and stretches for 22-inches. Another one is the multispoke design that also comes in a 22-inch size.


"Our accessories set important accents and emphasise the sporting characteristics of the saloon in a targeted manner," says AC Schnitzer Chief Designer Michele Viandante. "The result must be a harmonious ensemble, and not a combination of trainers and tuxedo."

Geneva Debut Alpina B7

We knew it all. The expectation, therefore, was fed by official images. Less than four days dall'annuale meeting in Geneva and Alpine releases first image of the official B7, tonic flagship large luxury and all cavalry.

Without denying the vocation by centometrista thanks to 507 horses (just like the "vu ten Bmw: Coincidence?) Granted by the propeller V8 4.4, the flagship running shoes with burning at the hundred in just 4.7 seconds, before you "leap" up to 280 km / h maximum speed.

Melbourne International Motor Show: Ford Territory Facelift Unveiled

Ford Australia has announced the new updated Territory SUV at the Melbourne International Motor Show. First launched in 2004 the Territory is said to be a popular model in the Australian market with more than 86,000 units sold up to now. The new car will appear at dealer floors during the second quarter of 2009.


A new Territory with an old interior would defeat the whole purpose of this facelift, therefore Ford has added new seat materials, two new interior environments, silver steering wheel buttons (for TS, Ghia and Ghia Turbo models), new colour finishes and trim highlights on the vehicle's entire model range.


Changes performed on the car's exterior include revised tail lamps, body coloured exterior mirrors, a new bonnet with a new front bumper, new headlights and a lower front grille design. The TX base model now comes standard with 17-inch alloy wheels, cruise control and side curtain airbags while the TS gets fog lamps as out-of-the-box equipment.



Prices begin at AU$39,490 for the TX 4-speed automatic and peak at AU$66,420 for the 6-speed automatic Ghia Turbo.

New Holden Cruze Debut in Melbourne

The new Holden Cruze headlines a list of 25 vehicles that the Australian automaker will be showing off in Melbourne. Also on the stand will be Holden's EcoLine range of vehicles, including two Commodores (one sedan and one Ute) running on liquefied petroleum gas and another two vehicles featuring Active Fuel Management, which switches the V8 engine into a V4 when full power isn't required.


Attendees at the 2009 Melbourne Motor Show will be greeted by a nice surprise at the Holden tent as GM's Australian arm has announced it will be bringing what appears to be a production-ready Holden-badged Cruze to display. After taking a brief look at the pics, it's easy to see that nothing much has changed from the Chevy version of the Cruze besides a switch to right-hand drive and, of course, a fresh set of Holden badges all around.

Geneva Motor Show: Pagani Zonda F Cinque

Pagani will bring a one-off Pagani Zonda F Cinque to the Geneva Auto Salon next week. The Zonda F Cinque is a teaser for the upcoming Pagani Zonda Cinque that is based on the new Pagani Zonda R that will also make it’s appearance in Geneva. We had a unique peak at the limited edition Zonda F Cinque at the Pagani factory earlier this month.


The Pagani Zonda F Cinque is very different to the Zonda Cinque of which artist impressions were released last year. The Zonda Cinque is based on the new Zonda R and shares only 10% of it’s components with the Zonda F. It will only be build in a very limited production of just 5 cars which are all already sold. Production of the first Zonda Cinque has not yet begun.


To bridge the 1 year required for the Zonda Cinque to be build, Pagani build a Zonda F in Cinque livery. It looks pretty much like the artist impressions of the Cinque with again the major difference that this Cinque is based on the Zonda F instead of the Zonda R.


Therefor it lacks a couple aerodynamic features found on the Zonda R and Cinque impressions including the hood scoop and new rear diffuser. One of the highlights of the Zonda F Cinque are the black wheels and tyres that feature a red line along the edge of the tyre and the unique paintjob. This will definitely be one of the most amazing Zonda F’s to date and something to look forward to in Geneva.
