Kia Sportage – UK Price and details

The 2011 Kia Sportage gets priced for the UK The 2011 Kia Sportage launched at Geneva this year with marketing kicking off  for the 2011 Sportage – Kia’s version of the Hyundai ix35 – in March, with some convincing campaigns featuring ‘A new kind of WOW…!‘ as a tag line.

Toyoto Aygo goes Black and Blue

The Aygo was launched back in 2005, as a sub-Yaris city car, and has carved a justifiably successful niche for itself across Europe, selling more than 100,000 in the process.

Toyota Aygo updated for 2009 with new additions - The Toyota Aygo Black and The Toyota Aygo Blue The 2009 Aygo gets a few tweaks to improve fuel economy and emissions (now 106g/km) and a few body tweaks, including a re-sculpted nose.
