The current Ford C-Max was first launched in Europe back in 2003 and was treated with a mild facelift last year as part of its mid-cycle upgrade. New prototypes of the C-Max spotted in Germany suggest that Ford is already conducting public road-tests of the next-generation model due sometime in 2010.

The next C-Max will first go on sale in Europe but this version is also expected to be sold in North America for the first time. The prototype captured in these spy images is using the current model’s bodyshell but according to the photographer its track is slightly wider. This new rendering gives a preview as to what the final version could look like, revealing that designers will likely adopt the same styling as seen on the new global Ford Fiesta.

Based on Ford’s European Focus platform, the new C-Max will likely share most of its engines with the updated hatchback range. This means a series of engines ranging in displacement from 1.4L up to 2.0L. The potent 2.5L turbocharged engine from the Focus is unlikely to appear in the new C-Max.

New European models such as the Kuga crossover and new C-Max are expected to make their way to North America. CEO Alan Mulally and product development boss Derrick Kuzak have both hinted at bringing over Ford’s European lineup to the U.S. and such a move also ties in with the company’s latest global engineering strategy

En esta, que es la de la respuesta #50 pero mas grande se ve que la silueta va a ser muy linda, con un interior increible y el sitema hibrido deberia ser un exito la verdad, siempre y cuando no termine siendo muy caro.

Since the release of its official strategy outline in September last year, media sources around the world have been speculating that BMW is looking at launching a new generation of ultra-efficient city cars. Then in March this year, BMW CEO Norbert Reithofer revealed that the carmaker was planning to establish a new environmental think-tank called ‘Project i,’ whose task would be to develop a number of solutions for a vehicle designed for congested city motoring.

Project i has been designed to run independently to BMW and has been given until the middle of the next decade to develop a concrete solution for the city car. One of its key managers, Herbert Höltschl, has confirmed that BMW wants to eventually produce a zero-emissions vehicle for global consumption.

Germany’s AutoBild is reporting that BMW will develop a range of zero and low emissions vehicles in the future, and has even produced a rendering of a possible design for one of the new models. While the rendering draws obvious styling cues from the recent M1 Concept, Höltschl has revealed that the cars would look radically different from any past BMWs.

Some of the options BMW is looking at is to use motorbike engines, both petrol and diesel, as well as electric propulsion, with both two wheel pod vehicles and compact four-wheelers currently being considered. Development is still in the planning stages, with the first decision on the drive system to be made by the end of the year. Click here to see the image in full.

yo creo que el frontal es como dijo cabo que tiene una tapa o esa parte del parachoques pintado en negro y lugo una toma de aire, y viendolo detenidaente se me vino a la cabeza este concept, el Buick Riveira que tiene una forma muy parecida en el parachoques delantero

The BMW 5-series began to reveal some of its eventual styling a couple of months a go when it shed part of its disguising revealing part of its signatur grille. We can now enjoy this model beating down the Nurburgring in a new video caught by our spy photographers.

Overall the 5-Series is set to receive less adventurous styling along the lines of the conservative E90 3-Series while receiving some design cues, particularly in the rear, from the 7 Series.

Electronic features to name a few will include wide angle cameras in the side mirrors for greater overall visibility, upgraded iDrive user control system and enhanced Park Distance Control with visual display.

Set to debut on the new 7-Series, the F10 5-Series will receive a new 8-speed electronic automatic transmission for ultra smooth shifts and efficiency while the M5 will be the only 5 Series model to receive the new double clutch M-DCT sequential transmission which appears on the M3 later this year. Also, optional all-wheel-drive and a wide range of six petrol engines from the 2.5-liter 218hp to 4.4 liter V8 twin-turbo with 400hp found in the X6 and four diesels ranging from 2.0 liter 175hp to the twin turbo 286hp 3.0-liter inline 6.

With the current E60 5-Series on the market since 2004, the arrival of the F10 5er is still less than two years away with an expected launch in spring 2010 as a 2011 model and the M5 to follow a year later. Surely we can expect the 5 Series prototypes to gradually shed their camouflage over the next year.
