2013 Volkswagen Golf Estate (Mk 7) revealed early

We have the first photos of the next Variant in the Golf Mk 7 line – the VW Golf Estate – ahead of its debut at the Geneva Motor Show next week. More in the ‘They didn’t want it to arrive yet‘ saga in the run-up to the start of the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, with this offering being the firts pictures of the new VW Golf Estate. There really isn’t a huge amount to say about the new Golf Estate except it’s a Mk 7 Golf with a small shed on the back and looks likely to be a favourite family buy.

Ford and GM tie-in with Apple

Having established a relationship with Nike for recycling materials as demonstrated on the Ford Reflex concept, Ford has now joined GM in collaborating with Apple to ensure their cars are iPod compatible. Rather than the retrofitted wire many drivers have had to resort to, cars will offer a bespoke area in the glove compartment that also acts as a charging point, the iPod instead controlled through the car?s GUI. By the end of the year, 70% of all new models sold in America are expected to be iPod compatible, an arrangement that furthers Apple?s continuing domination of the MP3-player market and one that will introduce Apple to the car-computer market, anticipated to be worth $6billion by 2010.

Toyota NS4 Plug-in Hybrid teased on video

Toyota NS4 Plug-in Hybrid Video Tease Ahead of a reveal at the Detroit Motor Show, we get another tease for the Toyota NS4 Plug-in Hybrid, this time with a video. We’ve already had a tease for the new Toyota NS4 Plug-in Hybrid, which arrived just before Christmas with very little detail and just a single teaser photo of the offside headlight. Now with the Detroit Motor Show looming, Toyota has churned out a video tease for the NS4, but we’re still none the wiser.
