Ahead of its official public unveiling at the Paris auto show, VW has fired off images and initial technical details for the refreshed Touran compact MPV. It’s largely a cosmetic effort that involves grafting VW’s latest, more rounded and organic corporate protruding nasal implement onto the rather boxy and dowdy Touran…

A depressing double dose of dreary driving dynamics coupled with the humbling realisation that your filth-'n-fungus-infested family ride is about as foxy as a used colostomy bag. That’s MPV ownership for you. But if your over-active loins have boxed you into a people carrier-shaped corner, you may as well salvage some self respect by bagging the best of the breed. Whether the all new Galaxy is just that, no-one outside Ford currently knows. But it is big and extremely well appointed inside. So, for now we’ll settle for the pricing info Ford has announced for the UK. The Galaxy can be yours for as little as £19,495…

Ford has pulled the wraps off its new MPV pairing, the Galaxy and S-Max. Yup, both cars are clearly built on the same basic architecture (they’re structurally identical from the B pillar forward). And they’re both chips off the SAV concept block (that’s the show car Ford wheeled out at last year’s Geneva shindig). But courtesy of some wheelbase tweaking and careful engine selection, Ford is pitching the two models at very different target markets.

Skoda’s quirky Roomster concept has made it into production. The show car was first shown at the Frankfurt show in 2003, so that’s an impressive two and half year concept-to-reality turn around.

It’s not often that a great looking concept survives the transition to production without the combined kill-joys of corporate bean counters and safety regulations reducing it to a feeble simulcrum of the original. But Mazda has released the first pictures and details of the MX-7 crossover vehicle. And it’s near-as-dammit identical to the MX-Crossport concept shown at the Detroit show in January.

A new GT-R, a pretty rear-drive coupe and a batshit electric car concept. Business as usual for Nissan at this year’s Tokyo show.
