The US already has two superior car shows - Detroit and Los Angeles. Add Chicago in the first week of February, as well as New York, and that"s four major car exhibitions before spring has properly sprung. Britain doesn"t even get one big show a year, so I suppose that"s why Land Rover decided it had little choice but to reveal the Disco on foreign soil. Much as I would have preferred the unveiling to be at Birmingham"s NEC, the firm with its roots in Solihull and its heart in nearby Gaydon did the right thing by choosing New York. Elsewhere, the car would have had to compete with more headline-grabbing launches.

Here are the pictures that prove Mercedes is working overtime. Our spies have snapped the next-generation CLS and SLK!
Despite the heavy disguise, itò€™s clear to see the distinctive coupé-like profile of the four-door. Under the skin is the latest E-Class platform, while sleek styling is sure to help the CLS fend off competition from the upcoming Porsche Panamera and Audiò€™s A7. Sales start next year.
As for the SLK, this prototype shows a squarer shape than the current car. It will arrive in 2011, with the option of a folding glass roof and a flagship gullwing hybrid model.
