Renault plans to cut 7,500 jobs in France by 2016 as a result of declining sales in Europe. This represents 17 percent of its current workforce in the country. The company would achieve its target mainly by not replacing retiring workers and by offering early retirement.
The French carmaker's sales in Europe sank 19% between January to November 2012, which is the steepest among major car manufacturers in the region.
The plan would save Renault 400 million euros a year in annual fi
Fortunately in Singapore, the misuse of disabled lot parking is considerably low. However, in other parts of the world, it isn't.

An image of the next generation Mitsubishi ASX taken somewhere in Japan by a motorist gives us some clues how the new compact SUV will look like.
The SUV has been developed after Carlos Ghosn, CEO of Nissan, took over the reins at Mitsubishi, signalling a chance that the car might have some common parts with the Nissan family.
According to Carscoops, the SUV is said to have a possible plug-in hybrid powertrain other than the usual petrol and diesel engines. Drive will go through the fro
A couple of shots of the upcoming BMW X4 SUV has been spotted online without any camouflage. Judging from how early it was leaked, it looks like it will be launched earlier than expected.

Photographed here in M 40d guise, the car will likely share the same petrol and diesel powertra
Colin Chapman, who founded Lotus, might not be as famous be as Enzo Ferrari or Ferdinand Porsche but to people who loved driving, they would have heard of him and be glad that such a manufacturer exists.
Recently, his son, Clive Chapman, has taken delivery of the company’s latest sports car, the Evora GT410 Sport. Clive, who is also the director of Classic Team Lotus, collected his car in the company of Lotus's current CEO Jean-Marc Gales.

Porsche has auctioned off its one-off project a.k.a Project Gold and got back quite a lot more than expected. You could buy nearly 5 new 911 Turbos with that amount.

That money buys you a full restored and updated 993 Turbo that took a year and a half to complete. Featuring more than 5
BMW says its new Z4 is a more driver-focused car than its predecessor. Is it true? Carfection's Henry Catchpole takes the M40i variant for a go on a road trip across Southern Spain.
Known more as a cruiser than a bruiser, the Z4 hasn't been the default open-top sports car for the driving enthusiasts. But that is set to change with its latest generation, which in M40i guise, is equipped with a sweet 3.0-litre turbocharged engine producing 335bhp and 500Nm of torque.

So why the decision to build the next-gen Veyron that is rumored to push out 1,500bhp? Because it believes where most of the profits comes from. Audi and Porsche together brought in more than 50 percent of the group's first half operating profit of 6.19 billion euro.
According to Wolfgang Duerhemer, the president of Bugatti, the aver

The Ford Mondeo brings back some old memories for me. I still remember when it was launched in Singapore some 2 years ago, I was so eager to see it that I brought my former girlfriend to Regent Motors when we were on a date.
