2009 Honda Civic

onda’s European-spec Civic 3door (Type-S) and 5door range has received a mild facelift for the 2009 MY and is on show for the first time at Paris. The changes include a new 1.4-litre engine, new automated transmissions and subtle exterior and interior enhancements. Both variants of the Euro Civic will be available with the new 1.4L gasoline unit that produces 100 HP (up from 83HP) at a slightly higher 6000 rpm and torque is 127Nm at 4800rpm. The styling revisions to the 2009 Civic Type-S were modeled on its sporty Type-R counterpart.

Maserati is a company with a deep-rooted racing heritage, and it isn't about to let that fall by the wayside. With that in mind, the Trident marque has released details of its latest competition model, called the GranTurismo MC Corse Concept.

We brought you spy shots of a stripped-out, track-bound GranTurismo earlier this month, and this looks to be the ticket. Based on the 430hp GranTurismo S, the MC Corse is destined for the tarmac. The engine has been upgraded with a new intake system, competition-spec catalytic converters and a center-exit exhaust to boost output to 450 horsepower. Grip is enhanced by an increased track along with a new front splitter, a larger rear spoiler, and more aerodynamically efficient side skirts, while the suspension has been upgraded to meet the track surface with 18x12-inch front and 18x13-inch rear wheels fitted with racing slicks. Enlarged brake discs with monobloc racing calipers help keep the power in check, along with an FIA-approved rollcage.

Following on the heels of the MC12 Corse, the GranTurismo MC Corse promises to deliver one seriously demonic ride to go with the sinister looks. While this could be the new vehicle Maserati has been hinting at, we have a feeling Modena has another trick up its rolled-up sleeve. Stay tuned, and check out the images in the gallery below in the meantime.

AudI Q5 2.0 TDI SE

"Baby" brother to the Q7 has finally arrived, and it looks destined to be a big hit. Few motor manufacturers have had such a long association with four-wheel drive as Audi – the quattro system has underpinned some of the most memorable sports cars in its history. But only in recent years has the brand begun to apply this knowledge to SUVs.

Toyota RAV4 (SR180) 2008

The new RAV4 SR180 brings both sporting performance and high value to Toyota’s compact SUV range, a model that ably combines spirited on-road driving, contemporary good looks and the kind of off-road ability that more than meets the demands of most motorists.
