The compact MPV - based...

The compact MPV - based on the Roomster concept seen at last year"s Frankfurt Motor Show - will mark the maker"s first entry into this expanding sector. It will use the platform of VW"s latest Golf, but the front and rear overhangs are kept to a minimum to ensure that it is nearly as short as a supermini.

Take the Honda Civic...

Take the Honda Civic as an example. Although the striking new model arrived on forecourts earlier this month, it has yet to hit values of its predecessor, the MkV. As such, used buyers are being advised to wait a few months before striking a deal. Jeff Paterson, senior cars editor at trade bible Glass"s Guide, told Auto Express: "Honda is one of the few brands whose outgoing models experience a price rise when a replacement appears." However, the effect typically lasts only a few months, so buying a used Civic MkV should make perfect sense by late spring.

It"s impossible to name...

It"s impossible to name them all here, but a handful are, I predict, stars of tomorrow. Greg Shilton looks like a cross between Albert Einstein and pop singer Jarvis Cocker - so you wouldn"t expect him to have invented a futuristic, semi-autonomous commuter vehicle system. It effectively puts motorway drivers in long, computer-controlled trains of cars travelling inches apart, leaving spaces for vehicles joining from slip roads.
