2010 Toyota Auris Hybrid Price

Toyota again takes the lead in delivering advanced and efficient user-friendly low emissions technology with the launch of its new Auris Hybrid, the first full hybrid vehicle in the European C-segment.

Its arrival makes the Auris range a unique proposition in its class, with customers offered a choice of petrol, diesel or full hybrid powertrains.

2010 Skoda Fabia and Octavia RS+

Škoda Auto is going to appear at the GTI tuning event at the Austrian lake Wörthersee over 12 - 15 May, 2010 with tuned Fabia RS+ & Octavia RS+ vehicles plus two Fabia Super 2000 race cars.


Designed by Škoda Auto designers, the display cars will be used to present special optical packets and colour adaptations based on self-adhesive foils. The Fabia RS+ concept is based on the Fabia RS. "The adapted version of the series-production car shows the potential and the characteristically pure and clear build of the Fabia's body, such as the separation of the roof by arranging the windows in a continuous line. The two-colour combination underlines the car's unique architecture - the green colour bears reference to our rally achievements and the unique connection with the S2000, the grey colour represents the vehicle's sporty expression and simplicity combined with design details", says Jozef Kaba?, Head of Design at Škoda Auto.

The Fabia RS+ has been designed specially for the Wörthersee event. Its clearly defined shape highlights the optical width of the Fabia RS+, its strong character and the high quality of the respective details. Special features include the headlamps and the radiator grille that give the car a sharp look. The front and the tail are fitted with black spoilers and diffusers, and the bonnet is decorated, for the first time in this model, with visible air exhausts. The interior, including sports seats, comes with new materials in the colours of this concept car.

"The Octavia RS+ has its roots in the successful series-production model. The objective of this concept car is to stress the attractiveness and unique character of the RS model line. While the two-colour paint and the adhesive foils underline the car's elegance, the spoiler kit highlights the sporty expression of this vehicle. The features that give the Octavia RS+ a striking look include black-tinted headlamps & integrated LED-based taillights, as well as new materials and colours used in the interior ", adds Kaba?.

Furthermore, Škoda Auto is going to present two Fabia Super 2000 race cars - the guides through this presentation will be two racers, Mattias Kahle who is supported by Škoda Auto Deutschland and Raimund Baumschlager of BRR (private team). The Škoda Fabia Super 2000 made its racing debut at the 2009 Monte Carlo Rally, representing Škoda Motorsport (factory team). The car became fully competitive already in its first year and celebrated several achievements as part of the factory team, as well as in the colours of private teams. Škoda Motorsport currently dominates the IRC series in both driver and brand standings.

Particularly the 19-inch Sport Classic wheels in the unmistakable look of Porsche's legendary Fuchs rims developed especially for the 911 Sport Classic built in a production run of just 250 units are an outstanding example of Porsche's history and a striking design feature of the 911 Carrera.

2010 Chevrolet Captiva Price

2010 Chevrolet Captiva

Large, luxury SUVs aren’t normally synonymous with value for money – spacious, sumptuous and stylish, they’re often the preserve of the seriously well-heeled. But for those who can’t run to the cost of a prestige-badged model, there’s now an extremely tempting alternative.
the Captiva LTZ becomes the flagship of the superb value Chevrolet range, alongside the new Spark city car and the high quality, stylish Cruze saloon – other new models that clearly highlight the direction of Chevrolet in the UK.


The new Captiva LTZ combines great looks, fabulous levels of equipment and Chevrolet’s iconic 100-year old heritage (it was, after all, the company that invented the SUV) with a price tag that’s most definitely not premium – at £27,305 for the manual (£28,630 for the auto), the LTZ is almost £20,000 cheaper than an entry-level BMW X5 or Range Rover Sport, yet wants for nothing in the standard equipment lists.
