Spy Shots: 2012 Honda Civic prototype holds on to two-tier dash
Posted by: | CommentsFiled under: Spy Photos , Budget , Sedan , Honda 2012 Honda Civic spy shots – Click above for high-res image gallery After seeing a handful of spy shots of the next-generation Euro-spec Honda Civic , the North American car is finally starting to show up out roaming the heat-soaked roads of Death Valley. When the new Civic arrives next year, it won’t be that much larger than the current car, and the overall shape looks to have stayed the same, though substantial changes to the front and rear fascias are definitely on deck. Our spies were able to get a peek inside the Civic’s cabin, showing that the two-tiered dash theme from the current car will likely be carried over to the new Civic. This means we can expect a digital speedometer on the top shelf with an analog tach below, and while we’ve never been big fans of this arrangement, it has its adherents among Civic fans.

Spy Shots: Ford Fiesta-based crossover headed for the UK
Posted by: | CommentsFiled under: Spy Photos , Crossover , Ford , UK Spy Shots: Ford Fiesta-based crossover mule – click above for high-res image gallery Ford is enjoying early success with the Fiesta here in the United States, but in Europe, where the Fiesta has been on sale for years, it’s time to start thinking about the future. Our friendly neighborhood snappers at CarPix have scored spy shots of what appears to be a high-riding Fiesta-based crossover designed to slot in below the Kuga crossover in the automaker’s European lineup. A Fiesta crossover might sound a little odd at first take, but when it comes to production, it should be roughly the same size as a Nissan Juke or Mini Countryman . That in mind, don’t rule out the possibility of the Fiesta CUV making its way to the U.S.

Spy Shots: Subaru testing its version of FT-86 "Toyobaru" coupe in the Death Valley heat
Posted by: | CommentsFiled under: Spy Photos , Coupe , Subaru Subaru FT-86 RWD coupe spy shots – Click above for high-res image gallery We’ve read many reports lately having to do with Toyota ‘s FT-86 rear-wheel drive sports coupe, but we mustn’t forget that Subaru will be getting its own version of this new two-door – it is a joint venture, after all. Our spies have captured this obviously Subaru-bodied mule out testing in Death Valley, showing that things are still on track for the “Toyobaru” to come to market in the near future. Details are still very slim on what Subaru’s version of the FT-86 will offer, and contrary to the brand’s image, the new coupe may not be available with all-wheel drive . If that’s the case, Subaru will have to offer a lot more in the way of styling (and perhaps power) to differentiate it from its Toyota sister

Spy Shots: 2012 Porsche Boxster wired up outside the ‘Ring
Posted by: | CommentsFiled under: Spy Photos , Convertible , Performance , Geneva Motor Show , Porsche 2012 Porsche Boxster – Click above for high-res image gallery As expected, the Spyder is the send-off model for the current generation Porsche Boxster (987), so a new version – rumored to carry the 981 designation – is under development. Like anything hailing from Stuttgart, any changes to Boxster’s chassis and exterior will be minor, with more shapely sheetmetal adorning the outside and a few minor modifications to the suspension, brakes and assorted underbody bits. Naturally, a few interior tweaks are part of the package, but the big news is the possible addition of a four-cylinder powerplant for the 2012 model year. While the 2.9- and 3.4-liter flat six-cylinder engines will likely carryover with minor bumps in horsepower and torque, there’s talk of a four-cylinder Boxster being added to Porsche’s line-up just above its oft-rumored entry-level model – a rebirth of the 914 co-developed with Volkswagen and Audi .

Spy Shots: 2012 Hyundai Sonata (i40) wagon caught testing again
Posted by: | CommentsFiled under: Spy Photos , Wagon , Hyundai 2012 Hyundai Sonata (i40) wagon spy shots – Click above for high-res image gallery It’s no secret that we Autobloggers are big fans of wagons. Unfortunately, the market here in the United States isn’t as wagon-friendly as those in other corners of the world, and because of this, there are very few examples to choose from – most automakers would rather introduce crossovers, as it’s a significantly bigger (and growing) market. With that in mind, it’s unlikely that we’ll get a version of this five-door Hyundai Sonata (which will be dubbed “i40″ in other markets), though the automaker hasn’t officially given America the red light just yet. Aside from the cargolicious rear end, the Sonata wagon caught by the spy shooters at CarPix employs a different chrome treatment at the base of the A-pillar, and we can see that a slightly different front fascia has been adapted.
