Moreover, the premium luxury brand Lincoln seems to be jumping on the compact car band wagon by offering their 2013 Lincoln MKC, the very first compact car under the nameplate.

2013 Future Green Cars

The world is looking forward to the talk of the town 2013 BMW i3, a car expected to raise the standards for all the upcoming electrics in 2013.

2013 Future Sedans

Keep your eyes open for the 2013 BMW X1, not to forget, the 2013 Land Rover Range Rover and the redesigned 2013 Mazda CX-5.

So, if you thought the dwindling economy is once again take the industry down the drain, just wait for 2013 to hit you with its smashing hot automobile line up.

Golf Blue E MotionAs environmental concerns and awareness is rising, driving a gas-guzzling environmental hazard is triggering high levels of guilt and emotional distress in drivers with a green-conscience. Yet, many thanks to the concerned and considerate auto-makers; they always know how to cater to the evolving requirements of their customers. And here we are, entering an age of fuel efficient cars. With Nissan leaf and Chevy Volt already leading the pack, all eyes are now set on 2013 Volkswagen Golf Blue E-motion.

The German automakers first presented the concept of their electric vehicle at the launch of Germany’s National Electricity Mobility Platform. 2013 Golf Blue Emotion will be two of its very first electric vehicles expected to be launched in 2013.

What We Know about 2013 Golf Blue E Motion

It is more than a year in waiting and we are quite positive that VW will continue researching and testing till the very end. Therefore, very little is officially confirmed yet. However, from what has been revealed, a lot has been speculated.

VW will use around 500 vehicles for the tests starting next year. About these test vehicles we know that they will be driven by air cooled lithium-ion batteries and an electric motor residing under the hood. These batteries will be able to store 26.5 kW-h of energy. The motor of the 2013 Golf Blue E-motion promises high torque of 270 Newton-meter. 2013 Golf Blue E-motion will be able to reach a top speed of 140km per hour. It will require around 6 to 7 hours to recharge.

In terms of design, the 2013 Volkswagen Golf Blue E Motion is essentially a mini car. From the outside, you simply cannot tell if it’s a diesel car or an electric car. To be exact, let’s just say it is very ‘Volkswageny’ indeed. The 2013 Golf Blue E-motion will have no back seats. The only problem so far is that it is not clear if the batteries would be kept under the floor pan or inside the cargo area. The later just sounds strange as it completely takes the 2013 Golf Blue E-motion out of the list of potential town cars. Where are we going to put all those groceries?

What we Expect?

Setting foot in this arena, Volkswagen must really consider the competition that is already out there. While they are very hopeful about the reception of their 2013 Golf Blue E-motion, we think that there are a few things that do not sound so stunning, batteries in the trunk and recharging time for instance. Nevertheless, there is till plenty of time, and we don’t think that VW is going to launch an obvious lackluster competitor in a year which awaits a lot of other sustainable rides already

Audi S6 and RS5 Best spy shots yet!

I'll take license and distill his answer: The American car industry faded because of poor leadership and management. Lutz blames the failure on a culture of over-planning and bureaucracy.  Spreadsheets were valued over common sense, customers were ignored, and too many over-educated over-analyzers focused on arcane process and rules rather than the job at hand: building great cars that people want to drive. It's not the unions' fault, it's not bad workers, it's not government regulation, it's not healthcare costs. It's leadership.

Which brings me back to the network business. When markets are reduced to a few players (as was the US car business), you run the risk of under-diversifying management thinking. In nature, a lack of diversity increases the risk that a species will be wiped out by a single infectious disease -- as almost happened when the group think pathogen ravaged Detroit.

The antidote is competition -- multiple players from varying backgrounds with a wide range of solutions and unique approaches to innovation. That is why the US needs more, not fewer, network providers -- and cannot afford the risks inherent in duopoly.

If anybody out there wants to make the argument for duopoly in networks, I'd love to get your views.

Here’s the first official interior photo of the upcoming Audi A3. Have a close look!

    Audi will display at the Consumer Electronics Show for the second time in its history when CES 2012 opens its doors today. Assuredly there’ll be plenty of interesting news from Audi, particularly in the fields of electronics and infotainment. And though cars like the Audi urban concept will be on the stand, we’re guessing an interior display showing the next generation of Audi connect may be a bigger star. In addition to revealing where Ingolstadt will be headed with its MMI user interface, the display also reveals the interior of the next-generation Audi A3.

Audi will begin construction of a new manufacturing facility in North America, according to Ward's Auto. While the German luxury manufacturer hasn't chosen a specific location as of yet, early whispers hint to a location in Mexico. Previously, Audi parent company Volkswagen had investigated the possibility of producing Audi models alongside its Passat sedan at the automaker's new facility in Chattanooga, Tennessee, but that options now appears to be off the table. Instead, Audi could be headed south of the border thanks to Mexico's labor flexibility and lower wages.

Audi boss Johan de Nysschen has been quick to say no final decision has been made, though the executive wasted no time in listing the advantages of a Mexican facility while at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show. The automaker has committed to a North American facility to protect its operations against currency fluctuations. According to de Nyscchen, the plant will need to have at least one vehicle line capable of producing 100,000 units to be economically viable. Last year, the company only moved 117,500 vehicles across all of its lines in the States. That means the facility would likely produce some vehicles for export, just as BMW does with its Spartanburg, South Carolina plant.

Streed word has it that the rumored B8 Audi RS4 Avant is in dead waters. Read on for more intel!

    Car & Driver’s resident German insider Jens Meiners has published his monthly report from the continent and we’re concerned about one of his assertions. If Meiners’ assertion is correct, the new B8 RS 4 program has been killed in the wake of Audi’s decision to build a next-generation RS 6. It’s assumed the RS 6 will be powered by a more potent version of the new 4.0 TFSI already seen in the S6. That engine is already tuned to greater levels in the S8 and the same is expected when it appears in the Bentley Continental on the Crewe’s Geneva Motor Show stand this spring.
