rybo submitted on 6/13/2008 Official AutoSpies Timestamp: 8:18:36 AM

We recently saw the introduction of the new Q5 SUV as well as confirmed plans for a new entry-level A1 minicar, and now we have spy shots of a vehicle that fits in at the other end of the spectrum.

Audi is not a premium brand......says BMW

Star submitted on 6/12/2008 Official AutoSpies Timestamp: 11:03:43 AM

Just when it seems American SUVs and pickup trucks are in full retreat, the Germans are slugging it out in the premium segment. Since 2003 BMW took control of the segment, which is 7 percent at 395,458 units last year, selling 66,435 X3s and 52,466 X5s in Europe, and now the Mercedes GLK and Audi Q5 are set to hit the market this autumn.

Golf Size Porsche Sedan Surfaces, Is Taking On BMW Part Of The Master Plan?

Agent009 submitted on 6/6/2008 Official AutoSpies Timestamp: 10:20:16 AM

Agent00J submitted on 5/20/2008 Official AutoSpies Timestamp: 3:26:09 PM

Nissan execs admit that, in the wake of the company’s merger with Renault, the Maxima was given second billing to the Altima when it came time for their respective redesigns—especially after the current Altima debuted in 2007 wearing hand-me-down duds from its big brother. The two cars were nearly indistinguishable, and the Altima’s optional 270-hp V-6 meant it was more powerful than the flagship Maxima. Read More
