The Kia Provo Concept is heading to the 2013 Geneva Motor Show and looks to be half butch urban warrior and half coupe. With the 2013 Geneva Motor Show looming we’re going to see plenty of reveals and leaks of new cars, concept cars and refreshed cars. Kia’s offering today comes in the ‘Concept’ category, but we hope it ends up in the ‘New Car’ category before long.

New Nissan Micra Facelift (pictured) costs from £9,950 Although we saw the new facelift for the Nissan Micra in the guise of the overseas Nissan March in back in March, it took Nissan until this month to reveal the new Micra for the UK, and now we’ve got specifications and prices confirmed. Starting at £9,950 for the Micra Visia, all new Micra models come with a new front and back, upgraded interior with a new centre console, better materials and more equipment. The entry-level Visia gets Bluetooth, electric front windows, remote central locking and USB, with the mid-spec Acenta (from £11,550) adding alloys, leather steering wheel, Climate and Cruise.

Honda Electric Sports car Concept at Tokyo & six more concepts too

Honda’s display at the Tokyo Show is going to be the biggest of any car maker. The headline act – certainly from a petrolhead’s point of view – is probably going to be Honda’s Small Sport EV Concept.
