The Prancing Horse is surely making the headlines these past few weeks. It started with the ousting of its president, Luca di Montezemolo, by the FCA Group head-honcho Sergio Marchionne, and then continued with the split from the rest of the group and the listing of a 10 percent of its stakes at the NYSE.

The Porsche Macan is probably the best sporty crossover on the market. It offers the sharpest handling, but can deal with some off road, especially if you have the air suspension, and it can be both comfortable or bone-jiggling when high speed cornering is on the agenda and tarmac is smooth.

BMW's engineers are toiling away on their next big-small project, the 1-Series sedan, poised to join the battle against the Audi A3 saloon and Mercedes-Benz CLA.
Before we let your imagination run wild, let's put a stop to any meaningful associations between BMW's upcoming 1-Series sedan and its famed E30 3-Series: yes, the two cars should have a similar footprint, and in some ways, target a similar audience, but one fundamental ingredient from the E30 formula is missing: rear wheel drive.

The new 1-Series will not be based on the 2-Series Coupe or current 1-Series hatchback, but on the same UKL (Unter Klasse or entry-level) structure as the front-wheel drive 2-Series Active Tourer, also shared with the latest Mini hatch.

A four-wheel drive option could be on the table for select engines, which will likely be common with the 2-Series AT and include both petrol and diesel units ranging in displacement from 1.5- to 2.0-liters paired to six-speed manual or nine-speed automatic transmissions.

A sported-up M125i with a 2.0-liter turbo'd four is expected to be on offer as well providing BMW with an Audi S3 rival.

As for when we can expect to see the 1-Series sedan, a production model is slated for launch in late 2016 or early 2017, but BMW could give us a sampler via a concept model as early as next year.

The profile buyer of a 2015 Nissan Juke Nismo RS is hard to peg down. He or she wants their car to be compact-sized, but a crossover, yet also fill the role of hot hatch and fashion accessory at the same time.

It's an odd mix of characteristics, but is it talented enough to attract as a whole package too?
