Ford Edge heads to Brazil (BR)


North American cars are hugely popular in South America, particularly in Brazil were the Fusion sedan outsold its rivals.

Ford hopes the new Edge crossover will continue the trend. Power will come from a 3.5 litre V6 petrol engine which will be mated with a 6 speed automatic transmission.

Ford will also invest $1 billion dollars in the next 4 years, much of it to renew its locally built products

Audi RS6 pricing announced (UK)


I'm starting February with the official pricing of the new Audi RS6. It will cost more than the Mercedes E63 AMG by £7k and BMW M5 Touring by £9,500 with a sticker price of £76,625.

What do you get for your money? Parking sensors, 20 inch alloy wheels, leather interior including heated front and rear seats, 6-disc CD changer, sat-nav, DAB radio and BOSE sound system and not to forget the extra 70bhp the RS6 has over the BMW and 46bhp over the Mercedes.
