Subaru Cuts Price Of BRZ Sports Car

SUBARU has announced a price cut for its rear-wheel drive coupe, the BRZ. Alongside the sister Toyota GT86 car, the BRZ is pitched at buyers seeking a fun, low cost sports coupe to rival the driving enjoyment offered by more expensive German models. From May the BRZ experience will be £2,500 less expensive, as Subaru is reducing the price to put more distance between it and its newly launched WRX STI model.

LA Design Challenge 2010 announced

This year will see the seventh running of the annual LA Auto Show Design Challenge when the industry circus hits the US west coast in November. All participating studios have been tasked to envision a 1000lb (454kg) 2+2 vehicle that is both comfortable and secure while delivering satisfactory driving performance without sacrificing the emotional connection and beautiful styling today's consumers demand. For the first time, design studios from outside the US – from both Germany and Japan – will compete for the prize.

Electric vehicles promoted

THE SCOTTISH Government is teaming up with industry leaders and environmental campaigners in a new drive to get more electric cars on the roads. Transport Minister Keith Brown has launched the E-Cosse partnership which brings together government body Transport Scotland with car manufacturers, power companies, local councils and environmental charity WWF Scotland. Mr Brown said the new group would "develop a shared vision and set future priorities to promote the uptake of electric vehicles in Scotland".
