New 2014 Nissan Qashqai revealed in pictures

The new 2014 Nissan Qashqai was unveiled in London on Thursday - giving us the first glance at what will surely become one of the most popular family cars of 2014. Already a perennial favourite with British buyers, the second-generation Qashqai follows a similar recipe to its 2007 predecessor. The new Qashqai remains a chunky crossover, mixing the best bits of a tall SUV with the creature comforts of a family hatch.

The Mini is 50 years old today

  Today - 08/05/2009 - is the 50th anniversary of the first Mini rolling off the production line. To celebrate, and for a bit of free publicity (see, we’re playing the game) BMW has shipped the first Mini to roll of the production line back to Cowley to celebrate (picture at the bottom). 621 AOK, a Mini Minor, in Old English White, looks as fresh as the day it rolled off the production line half a century ago (although I wouldn’t mind betting it doesn’t have it’s original sills – they always rusted through – or copes with its original distributor and leads – one splash of rain and the car ground to a halt!).

Ford B-Max

A production version of the Ford B-Max mini-MPV will make its debut at next month's Geneva motor show – one year after the concept was announced. The production B-Max stays true to the 2011 concept, with the same lack of a B-pillar between the conventional front and sliding rear doors, which creates a 1,500mm aperture. We'll be interested to learn how this affects both weight and rigidity as well as how much real-world advantage it offers.
