Trouble at Bertone

It was hoped that Bertone would be exhibiting its latest concept, the B.A.T.11, in Geneva this year, a design inspired by the B.A.T.5., B.A.T.7 and B.A.T.9 concepts developed between 1953 and 1955. The car is based on the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione. But after receiving a release from Stile Bertone announcing the prototype on February 13, the company's communications department sent through another email stating that it would not, in fact, be attending the show this year.

Merry Christmas Car(d)s!

Bernie Ecclestone's 2009 Christmas Card Just like last year, we’ve chosen to use Bernie Ecclestone‘s personal Christmas card to headline our Yuletide good wishes to you, dear reader. Bernie likes to make an amusing point or two when he commissions his Christmas cards, and this year is no different. Last year saw Bernie dig at Max Mosley and his ‘Recreational’ habits, and this year he picks the story of F1 2009 as its theme.

Kia K9 sedan, camouflaged Sportage spied testing

Kia was doing a bit of vehicle testing around Mammoth Lake, Calif., last weekend, and Autoweek reader Kristoffer Gjevre was there to capture the convoy. His photos show a camouflaged small SUV/ crossover and a completely undisguised K9 sedan backed up by Hyundai Santa Fe and Veloster support vehicles. Based on the roofline and A, B and C pillars, that small crossover appears to be a Kia Sportage -- and the heavy concealment at the front and rear of the vehicle suggest updated fascias may be in the works.
