| 2014 Mazda3 Sedan: New Gallery with 42 High-Res Photos [Updated] Posted: 04 Jul 2013 05:54 PM PDT  As it turns out, yesterday's premature release of half-a-dozen photos of the brand-new 2014 Mazda3 Sedan was only the tip of the iceberg, as 37 high-res images of the compact model turned up on the web today. Carscoops reader Mr Frisko pointed us towards the Czech website "Auto" for the new batch of photos that give us a better perspective of Mazda's fresh entry in the segment, in terms of both quality and quantity.

| EVO Impressed by New Maserati Ghibli with Base V6 Petrol and Diesel Posted: 04 Jul 2013 03:00 PM PDT  There was a real fear that Maserati would have ended up making a plain and ordinary car, when they announced that they were planning to sell 25,000 examples of their new Ghibli per year. However, they did make the car very noticeable through its design (though opinions are split on its true aesthetic merits), and the car looks like a true Maserati both inside and out. Even the diesel was put into context, when they announced that Ferrari had developed the three-liter V6 unit. Read more »   |
| VW Drops New Photos of 217HP Polo R WRC Limited Production Version Posted: 04 Jul 2013 02:00 PM PDT  In order to homologate the Polo WRC rally car, the FIA requires Volkswagen to build 2,500 road-going models.

| Spied: New Range Rover Ready to Give Birth to Long Wheelbase Version Posted: 04 Jul 2013 01:00 PM PDT  What looks like an impregnated 2014 Range Rover in these photos is in fact a new, upcoming addition to Land Rover's flagship SUV. It's the Long-Wheelbase (LWB) model that adds around 150mm (5.9 inches) to the regular Range Rover's already generous 2,922mm (115 inches) wheelbase, pushing the overall length to over 5.15 meters (202.8 inches) and creating a King-Size, lounge like area for the rear passengers.

| Ohio Interstate Cops Get Flack for Bogus Drugs Checkpoint Posted: 04 Jul 2013 12:00 PM PDT  Drug checkpoints are illegal in the US, as per the law, so therefore what Ohio police officers did on the I-271 is illicit. What they did is put up signs announcing a drug checkpoint up ahead, but there was really no such thing. All the police did was put up the signs, and hope that it would make some people act suspiciously, and it would be those citizens that they would actually pull over and search, or threaten to search in the hopes that bluffing will make them confess.

| This is Possibly The First Recorded Crash of a New VW Golf GTI Mk7 Posted: 04 Jul 2013 10:38 AM PDT  Even though there's always going to be a first time for car crashes, we sincerely doubt anyone in their right mind wants to have the distinction of being the number one when it comes to any kind of accident. Nevertheless, sometimes, you just can't avoid it, as was the case of a duo of journalists trying out the new Volkswagen Golf GTI Mk7 during the hot hatchback's launch event in Cape Town, South Africa.

| Backup Cameras Won't Be Mandatory In the U.S. Until 2015 Posted: 04 Jul 2013 09:46 AM PDT  All important safety features like airbags, antilock brakes, electronic stability program or more recently, autonomous braking, have become or are slowly becoming standard equipment on all cars sold in the US. These will soon have to make room for backup cameras, albeit a little later than expected. Read more »    |
| Is the All-New Range Rover Sport So Good That It Makes the Range Rover Pointless? Posted: 04 Jul 2013 09:04 AM PDT  The new Range Rover Sport has the same off-road capabilities as the larger Range Rover upon which it is based, while being quicker and more agile on the road. Moreover, it's more economical too. So, if the Sport is a good all-round SUV, does this mean that buyers will prefer it over the more expensive Range Rover? Read more »    |
| Wishing You All a Happy, Safe and Fun Independence Day! Posted: 04 Jul 2013 08:23 AM PDT  Independence Day, not the film about invading aliens, but the national holiday in the United States commonly known as the Fourth of July, celebrates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, from the Kingdom of Great Britain. It's also a day when families and friends get together to break out the grill and bring out the booze, have some summer fun, and enjoy the traditional fireworks and the occasional burnout happenings - for those who like to take their classic American metal out for a ride.

| Jeep Reportedly Readying Baby Cherokee SUV for Next Year Posted: 04 Jul 2013 07:22 AM PDT  If you though that Jeeps wouldn't get any smaller, Edmunds has just posted a report which says that the Fiat-controlled builder of off-road vehicles is, in fact, getting ready to add a sub-compact SUV to its range. The new model will reportedly be built on a Fiat platform, in Italy, and will address a global audience, trying to woo buyers with its Ford Fiesta-esque dimensions, infused with all the brand-specific qualities that they would look for. It is set to be launched some time in 2014. Read more »   |
| This is How You Swiftly Break Up a Road Rage Fight in Russia Posted: 04 Jul 2013 06:37 AM PDT  We've watched more road-rage fights in Russia and the surrounding countries from dash-board cameras than we care to remember, but we think this one stands out from the crowd for one very simple reason: the incident was killed before it started getting violent. Confused? Give us a minute to explain, if you haven't already made the jump across the break to watch the video. Read more »   |
| VW May Offer Next Polo Subcompact and Sub-Tiguan Crossover in the U.S., Says Report Posted: 04 Jul 2013 06:04 AM PDT  Ever since Ford deemed it productive to start selling what is basically the same Fiesta that the Europeans get in the US, it created a moderately big Polo-sized gap in VW's Stateside lineup. Now, according to a MotorTrend report, the Wolfsburg giant has taken notice of this, and may offer the next-gen Polo, alongside its familiar range of models, as well as a new sub-Tiguan crossover.
