According to a report from Car Sales that cites sources from within the company, the two slow-selling models will be replaced by a stand-alone sports car, which will have both hard- and soft-top versions.

This time, our scoop photographers pinpointed BMW's engineers testing the 4er Convertible in Europe with very little camouflage and most importantly, its three-piece electric-folding metal roof neatly packaged in the boot, which understandably, will have a smaller capacity than the coupe's.

For instance, simpler cars don't have direct software control over the steering (i.e. if new systems like Lane Departure Warning or self-parking are not present, you should be in control of the direction in which the front wheels are pointed at all times).

Naturally, some people are more hyped about it than others are – so much so, that the members of the Dot3Studios came up with their own online configurator for the 2014 Corvette Stingray.

Out of a selection of 12 models recently tested, half of them earned a 'good' or 'acceptable' rating, and of these, the two Civics, the Dodge Dart, Hyundai Elantra, Ford Focus and Scion tC, all earned the TOP SAFETY PICK+ award.

GM did not release anything substantial in the way of information other than confirming that they will both be built at its Wentzville, Mo., assembly center, and that both were designed to be "capable, versatile and fuel-efficient alternatives to full-size pickups".

Volkswagen is currently the market leader, and has sold more than 47,000 vehicles this year, with 10,000 of them delivered in the month of July alone, marking a whopping 78 percent market share in the sector.

It is therefore with great interest that I await any kind of new design they put out, because it usually ends up being interesting in some way, particularly in concept form.

The new Toyota Vitz GRMN Turbo is a slightly de-tuned, limited production version of the 2012 Tokyo Motor Show concept from the Japanese automaker's tuning and motorsports partner Gazoo Racing.

However, to remain relevant in a market dominated by German rivals, Renault needs all the help it can get for its flagship sedan. This is why the Latitude has been cosmetically revised, almost a year after the SM5 received an update.

Thankfully, they have now announced the debut of a new 1.6-liter unit, also boosted by a turbocharger, but this time developing 200 PS (197 hp).
