Mitsubishi has made a timely announcement regarding the Euro-spec i-MiEV. The information comes just a few weeks before the Paris Motor Show.

There are some interesting things happening in Moscow at the Russian Motor Show, but I liked this one in particular because I’m a Honda Civic fan for at least 15 years now. The Japanese from Mugen Motorsports, managed to take a standard Honda Civic 5-door hatchback and build a special new look, just for it and most likely for the European market. I’m pretty confident that Honda is gaining popularity in South Africa and that more and more dealers will be interested in getting some tuning deals for their clients.

Not sure about you, but that sure looks nice in my opinion. Am I subjective, or it’s the general opinion?

Volkswagen is testing a new electric-engine car that it hopes will be available for consumers in about two years.

The electric engine – TwinDrive – can be powered by gasoline to get more miles out of a charge, um, fill up. And this is different from a hybrid how?

So far, the car is good for about 50km (31 miles), about the distance of a fair training ride on a bicycle.

VW has a long way to catch the Japanese car makers in electric engines, no?
