With the new C-Class Coupé, Mercedes-Benz now enters a new market segment offering a compact coupé with classic proportions for the first time. From the side, the new coupé will impress onlookers with its flat silhouette with powerful shoulders and narrow C-pillar in a classic three-box design.

All Grounds Covered | Volkswagen Passat

Volkswagen promises value in a premium package with their new Passat, but the question is, can it really deliver the goods?

When you drive a car such as a BMW, Mercedes-Benz or Audi, many will change the impression they had about you. They would probably say things like, “Hmm, doing good I see!”, “Well done Sir!”, or even maybe (just maybe) “You inspire me”.

But then, due to the current COE trend, such premium sedans are becoming even harder to reach – case in point, the “base model” Audi A4 1.8T, BMW 318i and Mercedes-Benz C180 costs $193,773, $178,800 and $189,800 respectively.

BMW's Art Car Number 17 Drops By Singapore

One of BMW's Art Car makes an appearance at the world's only M dedicated showroom.

The 17th BMW Art Car made its Southeast Asian debut in Singapore this week, showcased at the Munich Automobiles Showroom and Service Centre, the world’s first dedicated BMW M dealer. Based on the BMW M3 GT2, the 17th BMW Art Car is created by world renowned pop artist, Jeff Koons. As part of his creative process, Jeff Koons collected images of race cars, related graphics, vibrant colors, speed and explosions. The resulting artwork of bright colors conceived by Koons is evocative of power, motion and bursting energy. Its silver interior along with the powerful exterior design, the Art Car will impart a dynamic appearance even when it’s standing still. “These race cars are like life, they are powerful and there is a lot of energy,” said Jeff Koons. “You can participate with it, add to it and let yourself transcend with its energy. There is a lot of power under that hood and I want to let my ideas transcend with the car – it’s really to connect with that power”.
