Facelifted Subaru Legacy Rendering

Japanese CarTop magazine released some renderings which show the possible facelifted Subaru Legacy.

These renderings show how the new Legacy will look like. Most notably changes of the facelifted Legacy are the new headlights and redesigned grille.

If this rendering, which CarTop released, really shows the new Legacy, well there's still so much to do because the car looks still old even with the second facelift.

Rumored: Mazda MX-5 Coupe

In 2003, Mazda manufactured the hardtop MX-5s based on the last generation NB platform and sold them in Japanese domestic market. And now ccording to Japan's Best Car, Mazda might be considering a comeback based on the current generation (NC) platform, as shown in the rendering above.

The Best Car magazine means that the launch of the coupe could come as early as 2010, which is right before the MX-5 is due for another refresh. It would be perfect for the people who craves a lightweight, rear-wheel-drive coupe a viable alternative to the more expensive offerings from other automakers.

More 2010 Ford Focus Renderings

Since Ford announced that the Ford Focus would be a global car like the first, aplenty of renderings surfaced to the internet.

What you see above is another rendering of what the next Focus five-door hatch could look like. Like the previous sketches we posted before, this rendering carries many similar design cues to the Ford Verve Concept. Though considerably less aggressive than the previous sketches, this could be closer to the automaker's current EU lineup.

Rumored: 2010 Ford Focus

Ford CEO Allan Mulally has officially confirmed that the upcoming 2010 Focus will be global, meaning that the US gets the same car with Europe. FoMoCo News has published a unconfirmed sketch of the next Focus.

The three-door rendering shares a lot of design elements with its smaller sibling, the Verve. The flowing headlamps and aggressive fender bulges are similar. The hatch and rear windows receiving very similar angles. The Focus sketch has more pronounced side panels with a flare that stretches from behind the front wheel well all the way to the hatch, giving the larger three-door a more athletic appearance. -Continued after the jump...

Best Rendering of Mini SUV Yet

Car magazine has revealed a 3D rendering of the Mini SUV. And surprisingly it doesn't look so weird.

Of course the design stays true to MINI's traditional cues but there's some little changes which are only for the little offroader. The larger front fascia, ribbed roofline and increased ride height gives the 4x4 a more tough appearance. The extra set of doors that you see in the picture above remain theoretical since MINI still hasn't released any specifics.

Power is likely come from the Cooper S' 175 hp turbocharged 1.6-liter four cylinder. A diesel is likely to be available.

The SUV is expected to be unveiled sometime next year, but it's name is still open to speculation. However, Car quizzed a MINI manager who assured them that it wouldn't go by the name "Crossman".
