SEAT Leon gets Sports Styling Kit – Costs £4,998

SEAT Leon gets Sports Styling Kit (pictured) Many like to make their cars more individual, and adding a sporty body kit is one way to make your slightly prosaic wheels stand out from the crowd. So, with that in mind, SEAT think they’re on to a winner with the new Sports Styling Kit for the Leon, which is available for the 5-door or SC Leon in S, SE or FR versions (pictured above on the SEAT Leon FR TDI 184 PS with Titanium Pack). But it’s not exactly bargain basement time.

Ford B-Max (2012) goes into the great wide open

Ford hopes a less-is-more approach will lure punters to its new B-max MPV, unique in the supermini segment for having a big hole in the central cockpit instead of a structural pillar. The result is a flexible people mover that's a doddle to load with kids or cargo, Ford claims, thanks to its pillarless opening and sliding rear door. The novel doors landed the £12,500 people mover in the same must-see company as Bentley's grotesque SUV concept and Ferrari's beautiful F12.

2012 Mercedes B-Class: First interior photos

2012 Mercedes B-Class Interior - first photo We’re expecting the 2012 Mercedes B-Class to be a big jump on from the current car - certainly in quality and dynamic terms – when it arrives at Frankfurt. And if the photo we’ve had in this morning of the 2012 B-Class’s interior is anything to go by, we’re not going to be too disappointed. We already know that the new B-Class is growing in size and that it will get all new engines with same direct injection as the BlueDIRECT (let’s just hope Mercedes now has the injector problems the C and E Class suffered under control) and a choice of either a six-speed manual or a  new 7G-DCT ‘box, which will be a huge improvement on the dreadful rubber band box in the old B-Class.
