  • 2015 Ford Mustang rendering - Image via Mustang 6G

    Are these computer-generated renderings representative of the final design for the 2015 Ford Mustang? Possibly. Sourced from enthusiast site Mustang6G, they are claimed to based on official CAD drawings for the actual car. The lines do align nicely with what we’ve seen in previous spy shots, suggesting that the 2015 Mustang will maintain the current car’s classic styling cues but combine them into a shape that’s modern and sleek. From the previous spy shots, we know the 2015 Mustang will be roughly the same size as the current car, but with a lower roof. There will also be a...

  • 2016 BMW X1 spy shots - Image via S. Baldauf/SB-Medien

    The current BMW X1 only reached U.S. shores last year but overseas it’s been on sale since 2009. That means a successor is due in the next couple of years and today we have a spy video showing a prototype for just that car. The prototype appears to be much shorter than the current X1 and its styling, from what we can ascertain, much sleeker and sportier. The shorter length, particularly at the front end, is due to the new platform underpinning the car. While the current X1 is based on the rear-wheel-drive platform of the BMW 1-Series and is available with either rear- or all-wheel-drive...

  • 2015 BMW 2-Series Spy Shots

    The BMW 1-Series is many things to many people. It's even a front-wheel drive car to 80 percent of its owners. But despite the lack of owner edification on the car's actual mechanicals, it's due for a complete revamping next year--and a renaming as well. Yes, just as the 3-Series Coupe has been replaced by a new 4-Series, the 1-Series Coupe will be replaced by this new 2-Series. Later, a new 2-Series Convertible will also join the fold. The new 2-Series, which is expected to go on sale next year, as a 2015 model, is a bit sleeker and rounder than the 1-Series it’s set to replace, but it...
