The new Mercedes-Benz E-class coming soon
Spies form “Car” magazine managed to catch a glimpse of a prototype during testing. It was undoubtedly the M-B, as the front fascia seems like a mix between the CLS’ swoop headlightings and the consecrated C and S class eyes. Underneath the E-class there’s the new W212 mid-size sedan platform using conventional hydraulic stoppers in favor of electronic breaking used in the past and much disliked by most dealers. Suspension on the other hand is backed-up by a lot of electronics utilizing M-B’s ABC (Action Body Control) system with four link suspension and multi-link rear arrangement. What’s Mercedes without its electronic gizmos? Some of them are the new electronic read-sign reading system or nightvision.
Everything is powered-up by a multitude of gasoline or diesel powered engines, including the 6,2 liter V8 form AMG.

It’s official: the 2009 Audi Q5
After months of spy photos and speculation there are finally official news about the Q5 CUV. The new model uses the same underpinnings as the A5 coupe and A4 sedan/wagon and unlike its bigger brother, the Q7, does not share architecture with a Volkswagen corresponding model. Proof of this is the longitudinally mounted engine opposed to the transverse one of the VW Tiguan.
The Q5 is at the heart of the mid-size CUV and has a more compact and tidy design overall than its heftier Q7 sibling, in line with Audi’s philosophy of being a premium sports-car brand.
Audi’s Q5 has a clear resemblance with the the A4 Avant, yet has distinct design features as well. Comparable in size with the Infiniti EX, BMW X3 or Acura RDX, Audi seems to have substantially more space for its occupants.
