Citroen DS4 (2011) first official pictures

Hot on the heels of the new Citroen C4 comes the new Citroen DS4, the second of the French car company’s 21st century DS models.

Essentially, yes – think along the lines of how Citroen turned the mundane C3 into the much more exciting DS3.

Lamborghini Jota: The tease begins

Nissan Micra (2010) at the Geneva motor show

This is the new Nissan Micra, revealed today at the 2010 Geneva motor show by company chief exec Carlos Ghosn.

The new Micra will be built in at least four factories across the globe; Nissan’s Sunderland plant will build the new Juke and Europe’s supply of the Micra will come from a factory in India.
