2012 Mini Cooper Coupe

Coupe's more aggressively raked roofline means that there's no room for backseat passengers. Even the front seats have oval shaped indentations in the roof liner to open up precious millimeters of headroom. So, Mini simply dropped the second row in favor of a parcel shelf with a small pass-through to the rear hatch. That's right, the Coupe has a rear hatch, not a trunk. However, the fixed parcel shelf appears to somewhat limit its hauling capabilities. We'll have to wait to get one in to judge for sure.

Other than the funky roof and the omission of a pair of seats, the Cooper Coupe is the same Cooper that we've come to know over the years. It features the same base 1.6-liter, 122-horsepower Cooper trim level, as well as Cooper S and John Cooper Works trims which offer 184 and 211 horsepower, respectively, from their twin-scroll turbocharged and direct injected 1.6-liter engines. European markets will also have access to a Mini Cooper Coupe SD, which is powered by a 143-horsepower turbodiesel engine that offers the lowest CO2 emissions and highest fuel economy of the range (about 54.7 U.S. mpg converted from the quoted imperial rate).

Check out the short video below to see the new Mini Cooper Coupe in action.

2012 Volvo V70 Review

The Volvo S80 and V70 also come in refined special versions that are tailor made for buyers who want a car with that extra exclusive look and individual touch.



Volvo V70 R-Design gives the elegant estate car a sportier design character.



"Both cars are designed around the growing number of people who appreciate the possibility of tailoring their cars to suit individual tastes. The Executive version of the S80 radiates exclusive luxury while our R-Design models are developed for buyers who want an extra sporty look," says Lex Kerssemakers, Senior Vice President Product Strategy and Vehicle Line Management at Volvo Car Corporation.



Specially designed details and new wheels

The V70 R-Design comes with a number of specially developed exterior and interior design details.

The exterior has unique design details in the front, LED turning indicators integrated into door mirrors with silk metal covers and a unique, diamond cut 18-inch wheel called "Ixion".

On the inside, there are leather upholstery trimmed in off black, leather around the gear selector, and black floor-mats with contrasting stitching.



V70 R-Design is available together with all drivelines, which also makes it possible to choose the 1.6-litre DRIVe diesel with CO2 emissions at 119g/km.



The Volvo V70, XC70 and S80 are now being upgraded with a number of features that further emphasise the company's focus on cars designed around the needs and wishes of people in modern society.

The new features include the latest user-friendly Volvo Sensus infotainment system, enhanced technology that makes driving even safer and more comfortable, and refined drivelines that offer higher performance and lower fuel consumption.

"These cars mark yet another step forward in our determination to be the brand that best interprets what buyers of modern prestige cars want. Concern for the individual's well-being is the very core of our Scandinavian origin. On this basis we create a logical, intuitive and ergonomically optimised driver's environment that promotes a feeling of relaxed control," says Volvo Cars' President and CEO Stefan Jacoby.

Volvo Sensus is an excellent example of how Volvo Cars refines the driver environment. The new infotainment system made its debut in the Volvo S60 and V60 in 2010. Now the Volvo XC60, V70, XC70 and S80 also get the same feature.

2012 Ford Focus ST

One of Alan Mulally’s objectives since becoming CEO at Ford in 2006 has been to develop products on a worldwide basis. This sounds familiar, if only because another Ford CEO, Alex Trotman, did the same thing back in the 1990s. This approach resulted in products such as the Contour (not a rip-roaring success) and the original Focus (which was).

In between the Focus going on sale in the U.S. as a 2000 model and Mulally  taking over, product development in Europe and North America took off in different directions. Hence, Europe was rewarded with a heavily reworked second-generation Focus in 2004. The next year, North America got a warmed-over version of the first-gen Focus sedan and hatchback.

Starting in early 2011, the Focus in both North America and Europe will be the same vehicle. This is to be applauded because there was a big gap between the European Focus and the machine sold here. The European car improved on the basic goodness of the original, with better interior quality and driving dynamics. The U.S. car essentially stayed put: The original Focus was good enough to be a C/D 10Best winner, but the competition moved on, leaving the current version dead last in a recent small-car comparo.

The 2012 Focus certainly looks terrific, especially in five-door form. The engineers and designers felt able to make the Focus sportier (by lowering its seating position and overall height) due to the upcoming C-Max—a tall-roof, five- or seven-seat derivative off this platform—that fulfills the family-car mission. Compared with the current U.S. Focus, the new car is 0.5 inch lower (at 58.1 inches tall) and 3.0 inches long­er (178.0 inches overall), and it has a 1.3-inch-longer wheelbase (104.2 inches). The 2012 model’s dimensions are close to the current Euro car’s, save for a wider track and lower stance.

2012 Fiat 500

At first glance, the 2012 Fiat 500 that goes on sale this month in dealerships across the United States looks rather like the European model that launched in mid-2007. That car, in turn, is a puffed up doppleganger of the original 500 – or Cinquecento, as its Italian owners prefer. The original 500 isn’t well known to most Americans, but it was solely responsible for getting destitute post-war Italy back on its, er, wheels beginning in the late 1950s.

But the 2012 model we tossed into every corner in California has been extensively modified for American consumers. Built in a Chrysler plant in Toluca, Mexico, it required some changes to meet U.S. safety standards, as well as some improvements to sound insulation and switchgear to keep “stepping down” Americans happy. In addition, Fiat reworked the car’s rear suspension for an improved ride and vastly increased torsional stiffness. Oh, and they tossed in an automatic transmission and a modified four-cylinder with Fiat’s innovative MultiAir technology.

Typically, we’d use this space to kvetch about how the Italians were forced to water down their icon for American roads, but Fiat tells us that CEO Sergio Marchionne took one ride in a U.S.-specification 500 and ordered the implementation of the improvements into the European car.

The 500 based on the pedestrian Fiat Panda, a whimsically-named five-door subcompact, and it also shares its architecture with the European-market Ford Ka. Of course, none of those matter much to most of us on this side of the pond unless we are handed the keys to one at the Hertz location at Leonardo da Vinci airport in Rome.
