Audi Prologue Allroad Concept Makes Its 734-hp Debut in Shanghai

The Prologue Allroad wears a subtle hue of Dehua White, making
Nissan Rogue Hybrid Might Migrate to the U.S.
– A Nissan Rogue hybrid? Sounds like a vehicle that would win the blessing of Nissan-Renault CEO Carlos Ghosn, who is known to be very bullish on battery electric cars taking over the industry. Lending more specific credence to the rumor, a Japanese engineer just told Automotive News that Nissan may give us a Rogue hybrid.

– Jaguar’s recent announcements of an all-new aluminum vehicle architecture and next-generation Ingenium engines are good, product-driven steps toward expanding the brand’s sales—look no further than the much-needed 2016 XE compact sports sedan and the equally fresh 2016 XF. The thing is, Jaguar’s platform and engine discussions lack any mention of the company’s ultra-hot F-type sports car or the full-size XJ luxury sedan. Thankfully, Jaguar-Land Rover North America’s CEO, Joe

– Excited for a remake of Volkswagen’s original Microbus? Stay that way—and keep waiting, because that project is still bobbing around in the ether. In the meantime, check out another VW van you also can’t have: the latest Transporter. Now entering its sixth generation in 65 years, the Transporter descends from the original VW Type 2, but the model has long since abandoned any whiff of retro.
