Skoda Yeti facelift (2013) at Frankfurt motor show

This is the facelifted Skoda Yeti, brought bang up to date with the current Skoda design theme thanks to front and rear styling tweak as well as a restructured model range. It’s a straight-edged, angular redesign, but we can’t help thinking that binning the old car’s bulbous grille and charming foglights has robbed the Yeti of its cheeky character. What has actually changed for the 2013 Skoda Yeti?

Would you get into a cab that looks like this?

Nissan is hell-bent on taking over the world's taxicab fleets with its NV200 van. First, it invaded New York with a thoughtfully redesigned, nearly luxurious yellow cab, all but ready for its hard-earned medallion (but not quite). It hopes to fare better in London, seeking a place among the 22,000 black cabs that fill the city's streets.

Subaru Impreza

Another follow up from an earlier teaser shot is this, the 2012 Subaru Impreza, which is making its debut at the NY auto show. Digressing further from its infamous rally-bred history, the latest Impreza is being billed as the most economical AWD car for sale in the US market, and Subaru is also keen to stress the increased ride comfort and interior space of this model, which is claimed to offer unprecedented levels of refinement from an Impreza. The cars exterior, however, does have some nostalgic references, with the bold arches said to 'emphasize its sporty roots and standard All-Wheel Drive performance'.
