New Vauxhall Corsa ecoFLEX – Vauxhall’s most economical car

The new Vauxhall Corsa ecoFLEX - Vauxhall's most economical car [ad#ad-1] It’s been a bit of a Vauxhall week. Last week saw the first details and pictures of the New Vauxhall Astra (preceded by teaser shots of the Astra), and news that Vauxhall are now offering off-the-shelf Vauxhall Insignia Sports Tourer police cars in the UK. And now comes the news that Vauxhall has released its most economical car ever – the Vauxhall Corsa ecoFLEX.

Mini Vision concept: what does it say about the brand's future?

The sight of Mini design head Anders Warming presenting a holographic, 3D projection of the Mini Vision concept as if appearing in his own cartoon was certainly a new one on us, but it captured the quirky, slightly left-field image the subsidiary of BMW Group has cultivated since its relaunch 13 years ago. As the 'Vision' tag suggests, this is billed as a marker of intent for the brand's future design direction rather than a pre-production teaser of the new Mini hatchback (Cooper in most markets) we'll see later this year. However if the third-generation 'new' Mini doesn't look remarkably similar we'd be amazed, such is the level of productionized detailing on this purely digital model.

New 2015 Mazda2 arrives

This is the new 2015 Mazda2 (Demio) The new Mazda2 was all but revealed at the Geneva Motor Show in March in the guise of the Mazda Hazumi Concept, but now the real new Mazda2 has arrived, or at least it has in Japan. But Mazda are captioning the photos – which are clearly of the Demio – as the Mazda2, so we can be pretty sure not much is going to change when the Demio gets the Mazda2 badge in the UK and Europe. That means the same Kodo design language Mazda has introduced across its range recently with a shield grill flowing in to the headlights, big wheel arches and horizontal lights at the back – all very much like the Hazumi.
