  1. Besides cosmetic changes, the facelifted altis will come with new dual VVTI engines. the car should be coming to singapore during the 2nd half of the year source: straits times
  2. Hi All I am helping someone to buy a car and the Cayenne is one of our options. But i am not "in the know" when it comes to Porsche so does anyone know whether there is a new Cayenne coming out anytime this year and if yes, when is the expected arrival? I dun want to buy the current model only to see it become old model within a few months. For those who know, maybe also can help to highlight the main changes from the current one. From one site that i saw, they only show external pictures and changes seem to be rear light and front LED running lights. Much thanks.

    Phaeton's 2nd chance

    Volkswagen is giving it's slow-selling Phaeton flagship another chance at life with a mid-life facelift. Set to be revealed at the 2010 Beijing Motor Show, the updated Phaeton features new technologies. The cosmetic changes up front include a more chiseled design with bi-xenon headlights complete with LED running lights and a new grille. At the rear end, changes are limited to the new light units and a restyled bumper. The redesigned alloy wheel round off the exterior updates. Moving on to the interior, a new steering wheel and instrumental panel are joined by fresh trim finishes and the option of Google Maps on the RNS810 satellite navigation system. The updated Phaeton will be available with a choice of two wheelbase options, two back seat versions (three seats / two individual seats) and four engines including a V6 FSI petrol with 280HP, a V8 petrol with 335HP, a range-topping W12 petrol with 450HP and a V6 TDI diesel producing 240HP. The 2011 Phaeton will go on sale this August.
  4. Volkswagen is using the Beijing auto show as its setting for the introduction of their heavily revised flagship vehicle. The 2011 Volkswagen Phaeton will be sold with four different engine choices, and will be available as a long wheelbase. VW-owned brand Audi has had extraordinary success with long wheelbase models in China, where they sell extended versions of the A4, A6, and A8. Rival brands have their own stretched models, including the 2011 BMW 5-Series Long Wheelbase, Mercedes-Benz E-Class LWB, and the Volvo S80L. The base level Phaeton will be a comfortable 5.06-meters long, while the extended model will stretch out a further 12 centimeters. New customers can choose to have either two individual seats in the rear, or a three-person bench. Engine choices on the car begin with a 276-horsepower (206 kW / 280 PS) V6 petrol engine, but a torquier turbodiesel V6 (236 hp / 176 kW / 240 PS) is also offered. VW brags that the V6 TDI is capable of getting the car to 100 km/h in about 8.6 seconds. No sprint figures were given for any other engine. The other two engines, a 330 horsepower (246 kW / 335 PS) petrol V8 and a 444 horsepower (331 kW / 450 PS) petrol W12, look to be the same as two of the units currently on offer with the car. This is disappointing, as those engines have been around for four years now, and the car would likely benefit greatly from having a more fuel efficient performance engine with direct injection and stop/start. Volkswagen skipped the blacked-out radiator grille cover on this car, in favor of chrome. The exterior has been remodeled from front to back, while the interior has been given 18-way seats and four-zone climate control.
  5. Along with the updated 2011 TT Coupe and Roadster, Audi also announced model year changes for its A3 range that includes the three door hatchback, five-door Sportback, Cabriolet and the sporty S3 hot hatch. One may need to put the revised A3 under a microscope to spot the differences with the existing version. Nonetheless, Audi says that the single-frame grille element and trims on the B-columns are now painted in high-gloss black, while the the lower air inlets have chrome struts. The exterior mirrors are revised and there are chrome strips on the door handles (except on the S3). The rear of the three door version gets tinted tail lamps. The new alloy wheel designs and the addition of four new paint finishes (Volcano Red, Dakota Gray, Amethyst Gray and Scuba Blue) complete the exterior upgrades. On the inside, key changes include gray background for the dials, new selector lever for the S tronic gearbox and a high-gloss trim for the optional navigation system plus. Engine options remain the same and include five gasoline and four diesel units, which are all turbocharged with direct-injection technology. The base gasoline and diesel versions are the 1.2 TSI and 1.6 TDI, with the range-topping S3 pumping out 265bhp from the 2.0 TFSI.

  9. Mazda has made an official release on its mid-size model, the Atenza, in Japan. More of a subtle nip-and-tuck than a full blown facelift, the 2011 MY Atenza has been refined with some styling changes, chassis tweaks and a new 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine with direct injection. The exterior enhancements for the freshened Mazda6 bring it inline with the firm's more recent models mainly by adopting the new Mazda family face with a five-point front grille.The front bumper has been redesigned and features more pronounced air-inlets on the corners. The newly styled 17- and 18-inch alloy wheels together with the revised tail lamp clusters complete the exterior makeover. The interior updates are minor, with changes limited to the new glossy piano-black finish that has been applied to the center panel, audio and air conditioner panels, shift gate and steering wheel spokes. Climate control and audio dials, shift knob and inner door handles are now chrome garnished. Underneath the hood, Mazda fitted the revised Atenza with its newly developed 2.0-liter DISI gasoline engine with direct injection, generating 153 PS at 6,200rpm and 189Nm of torque at 4,500rpm. It is slightly more powerful than the outgoing 2.0L powerplant but pales in comparison to the 2.0 Ecoboost unit that will be powering the revised Ford Mondeo. The Japanese automaker commented that it has also tweaked the Atenza's power steering and suspension settings improving the car's handling and straight-line stability at high speeds as well the ride quality.
  10. 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. Fast forward to present, spy shots of the facelifted 2011 Mondeo have surfaced six weeks before its introduction in Geneva. These photos were captured during the cold weather testing along European route E45, a road that runs from the northern Sweden/Finland border down to the southern tip of Sicily, Italy. The above image shows the model powered by the TDCi engine. This may be of little relevance to Singapore, but don't despair. Look for the 2011 model year Mondeo to get the Galaxy facelift's 200-horsepower 2.0-liter Ecoboost engine mated to a six-speed dual-clutch transmission. Now, this sounds like an interesting combination that will pack the new Mondeo with enough arsenal against other European mid-sized sedans such as the Opel Insignia and VW Passat. Eventually, a four-cylinder 1.6-liter Ecoboost unit producing up to 180 hp may also be offered. Under the Kinetic Design scheme, Ford engineers included a new front bumper with other changes such revised LED rear clusters and a new grill. Changes to the rear bumper are also possible, and interior upgrades are anticipated. The Mondeo is a rare sight in Singapore. I am not sure why this is so but during my short visit to the showroom, the car feels very well put together with top notch soft touch plastics. Let's hope that the new drivetrain will help to drive up the sales of the Mondeo in Singapore. Good luck Regent Motors!

  12. My Time ' s UP? A 54 year old woman had a heart attack and was taken to the hospital. While on the operating table she had a near death experience. Seeing God she asked "Is my time up?" God said, "No, you have another 43 years, 2 months and 8 days to live." Upon recovery, the woman decided to stay in the hospital and have a face-lift, liposuction, breast implants and a tummy tuck. She even had someone come in and change her hair color and brighten her teeth! Since she had so much more time to live, she figured she might as well make the most of it. After her last operation, she was released from the hospital. While crossing the street on her way home, she was killed by an ambulance. Arriving in front of God, she demanded, "I thought you said I had another 43 years. Why didn ' t you pull me from out of the path of the ambulance?" God replied: "I didn ' t recognize you!"

  17. Toyota announced facelift Camry in Detriot Autoshow: -Exterior looks very similar to the existing JDM Camry -Major change including new 2.5l engine and 6-speed automatic - not sure will BM bring in this configuration http://wot.motortrend.com/6415201/auto-new...2010/index.html "Letting a car sit on the vine without any changes for a long time is no way to maintain a sales crown so for 2010, Toyota is giving the Camry -- America's best selling car for the last seven years -- a minor maker over. The seventh-generation midsize sedan heads into its fourth model year with minor changes to its sheetmetal, a new four-cylinder engine, and several new features. The cosmetic changes to the exterior consist of a new grille and front bumper, a larger lower intake, larger headlights and restyled tail lights. Every trim of the car gets new rolling stock as well. Base and LE models receive new wheelcovers, XLE models get new ten-spoke 16-inch alloy wheels and SE models get new 17-inch alloys. The Camry Hybrid receives its own grille and bumper along with a wider lower intake, restyled fog lights and 16-inch alloy wheels. For four-cylinder models, the 158-hp 2.4L unit makes way for a 2.5L mill that makes 169 hp in base, LE, and XLE models and 179 hp in the sport-oriented SE trim. Gone too are the five-speed manual and automatic, replaced with six-speed versions. Toyota did not say how the new engine affects the four-cylinder Camry's fuel economy and the 268-hp V-6 is unchanged. Toyota finishes up the changes to the 2010 Camry with the addition of several features including stability and traction control and auto up/down power windows on all four doors as standard on all trims, an optional audio system for base and LE models that adds a USB port, Bluetooth, integrated satellite radio, and MP3/streaming music capability. The Camry Hybrid receives a new gauge cluster and cloth seating surfaces made of a fabric called Fraichir, a combination of silk protein and synthetic fiber. Pricing will not be announced until closer to the car's March on-sale date."

  21. Hi all, Since MM lanuches the Mazda 5 facelift at around end Feb 08, half year has passed. However, till today I still do not see many of the Mazda 5 facelift on the road. Everyday, I will sure met a few Mazda 5 on the road and almost everytime it is the pre-facelift version. I feel that the new facelift is quite good as it has a few good features such as: 1) Auto sliding door 2) 2nd row aircon vent 3) 5AT But, how come so few on the road? Any Mazda 5 facelift owner her?
  22. Thinking about getting either the SLK200 / 280 or the BMW 325 , any owners able to comment the pros and cons of these 3 above ?? which will be a better choice ????
  23. Found this on Hyundai website. http://worldwide.hyundai-motor.com/common/...ead_2007_30.htm The 10% power increase for the Theta 2.0 engine seems quite impressive, and the dashboard is a major improvement over the current version, although the new grille takes some getting used to.
