Volkswagen T6

Volkswagen decided to unveil the all-new T6 van, a model that gets a series of styling tweaks as well as new engines. At the exterior, you will notice the revised front grille, tweaked wheel arches, new optical blocks and larger air intakes.
If the exterior changes are just enough to refresh the car’s appearance, the new 2.0-liter diesel engines are certainly more of a big upgrade. Volkswagen offers plenty of choices for the frugal 2.0-liter TDIs.

New black alloy wheels are also available and complete the exterior changes. Step inside the cabin and you will find a fluting pattern for the door panels, new tread plates with “Blue Train 85 Years”. Everyting at the interior was made with a simple and direct purpose: to be as similar as possible with the Bentley Speed Six model.

If what you already heard is not impressive, you have to know that Bentley will produce only four units and these cars will be available exclusively in Europe.
Pricing details were not released yet but you can expect some big figures, mainly considering that the car will be produced in such a limited run. Being an anniversary edition for such an iconic model is also something that will greatly bump up the price.

2016 Lexus RX

I have had the great pleasure of seeing a lot of interesting and wonderful vehicles being displayed and officially launched at the present 2015 New York Auto Show and one of the models that I really set my eyes on is the gorgeous 2016 Lexus RX mid-size SUV. It is absolutely fantastic, from every angle.
I was first stroke by its unique body language, the one that Lexus has always accustomed us with, starting with the L-shaped taillights now enhancing LED technology, along with the daytime running lights, the fog lights, or the personalized dual-exhaust system. Of course, the body features don’t stop here.

Second, the cabin is also fully covered in different high-end materials, which would make this model extremely classy and luxurious, while the high-tech gizmos continue to amaze me: active stabilizer system, the instrument cluster fitted with the TFT Multi Information Display, the AVS-enhanced Sport + model, with the Eco, Normal and Sport features.
