Frankfurt 2011: 2012 Honda Civic

2012 Honda Civic revealed at Frankfurt 2011 We had quite a tease from Honda on the 2012 Civic in the run-up to Frankfurt, but at least it was a tease with substance, rather than just pointless shots of bits of a new car. Honda made the effort to divvy up ‘official’ spy shots and to put together some talking head videos which, although a little dry, were at least informative. So it’s nice to see the real deal 2012 Civic at Frankfurt, even if it is very much an evolutionary refresh for 2012, rather than anything too drastic in styling terms.

Concept Car of the Week: Renault Argos (1994)

The 1994 Renault Argos concept is the little sports car based on the humble Twingo that continues to resonate in design terms. Designed by current PSA Director of Design, Jean-Pierre Ploué, the minimalist three-seater ushered in a new design movement dubbed ‘Esprit Nouveau' (New Spirit) that re-instated The Car as an industrial machine after a period of organic, Bio-design influence. Pared-back, broken down into its component parts and proudly bare, the Argos mixed the post-industrial functionality of a contemporary fighter aircraft with a twist of Steampunk fantasy.

Lexus RC F, RC F Sport & RC F GT3 debut at Geneva Motor Show

The Lexus RC (pictrured) will be joined by the RC F Sport and RC F GT3 at Geneva The Lexus RC F Coupe finally got a reveal at the Detroit Motor Show last month, and it’s going to get its European debut at the Geneva Motor Show next month alongside another new Lexus – the Lexus RC F GT3. The new RC F looks a promising challenger to cars like the new BMW M4 or the Audi RS 5, with decent looks and the promise of impressive performance from its V8 which develops more than 450bhp. Lexus want us to think that a lot of the RC F’s dynamics are taken from the DNA of the LFA, and if that’s the case the Germans could finally have real competition on their hands from Lexus.
