New Citroen C1 revealed ahead of Geneva debut

The new Citroen C1 (pictured) revealed ahead of Geneva debut We’ve had the proper reveal of the new Peugeot 108 and a bit of a teaser photo for the new Toyota Aygo, and this morning we get the trio completed with the reveal of the new Citroen C1 ahead of its Geneva debut. We’d call the new C1 a 2014 model, but for some reason Citroen gave the current C1 an overhaul only a few months ago and made that a 2014 model, so we probably have to refer to this new one as the 2015 Citroen C1. Whatever model year to attach to it though, the new C1 is just a new Aygo or new Peugeot 108 in Citroen clothes and therefore offers much the same as those two cars.

Who's Where: Bryan Nesbitt becomes General Manager of Cadillac

Bryan Nesbitt, who until last week was General Motors' North American Vice President of Design, started his new role as general manager of the Cadillac brand on Monday, July 27.

While this move marks a significant step change in the positioning of the new General Motors, which, under the direction of product czar Bob Lutz, has seen fit to promote a young designer into such a high level managerial position, it is a triumph not only for Nesbitt, 40, but for all designers: it is the first time that a designer has been promoted to one of the top executive roles at an automotive company.

Aston Martin Rapide Frankfurt launch

The Aston Martin Rapide launches in Frankfurt Looking just like it has since we first saw it – with very few detail changes – the Rapide shows just how good a four-door supercar based on its two-door sibling can be. Take note, Porsche. The exterior of the Rapide is a joy, with hidden door handles keeping the lines sleek, LED sidelights and bi-xenon headlights and big, 20″ alloys.
