Hyundai ix35 Facelift goes further in Korea – and looks better for it

Last year we had spy shots of the Hyundai ix35 facelift floating round Korea – Hyundai’s home market – which showed a much more convincing nose than the, then, ix35 in Europe, but they eventually turned out to be photos of the ix35 FCEV which Hyundai had given a nose much more like the new Santa Fe and which we thought pointed at the 2013 facelift for the ix35. But when the Hyundai ix35 did turn up at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show with a bit of a titivate, it was exactly that – some very minor tweaking which kept the 2013 ix35 looking very similar to the 2012 model. But that’s not happening in Korea.

More 2014 Range Rover Sport pictures arrive ahead of New York reveal

With just a few hours to go before the 2014 Range Rover Sport makes its live debut driving through New York, we have more official photos of Land Rover’s new sporty RR. So with all the leaks that have gone on with the new RRS we thought we might as well post a few more photos of the new Range Rover Sport that have dropped in to our inbox tonight. This time the photos are higher resolution and include studio shots which gives us a better view of the detail on the new Sport, much of which is either from the new Range Rover or the Evoque, tweaked and made individual to the Sport.

UK Car Insurance Company reports buyers downsizing

Swinton Insurance claim quote requests for bigger cars are down 20% Swinton say that it has seen an increase of 25% in quote requests for smaller engined cars in the last six months and a decrease of 20% in car insurance quotes for cars over 1.8 litres (which, short of the big-engined cars being scrapped begs the question: What’s happened to the big-engined cars? Did they just disappear, or are they just not being insured?). But this got us thinking.
