This was another eclectic week that saw auto news being made in all parts of the world. It encompassed everything from striking one-offs showcased in Shanghai — including the Icona Vulcano featured in the gallery above — to VW’s plans for a super-efficient 10-speed automatic transmission, to Chevy confirming that the new 2014 Corvette will match outstanding performance with exceptional value.
Rounding out the mix is a first look at the superlight Audi TT Quattro Ultra Concept, our first drive in the 2015 Volkswagen GTI and full reviews of the new 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class and E-Class.
