With this mildly refreshed model, the 5 now sports an updated front and rear. The main difference is in the front apron, where it's now a bit more chiseled and shapely, giving the 5 a stronger, more aggressive face. On our 535i test-car, a set of elegant 19-inch rims filled the huge wheel arches perfectly - for the 5, I think nothing less than 19-inch wheels will do.

BMW 535i Sedan Luxury

IN BMW, 5 Series, 535i, Sedan, Performance Motors

What you see here, is the latest face-lifted BMW 5 Series. No, really it is! I know the changes are subtle (maybe a bit too subtle), but as the saying goes: Don't fix it if it ain't broke.


From the onset, the car impresses with its dashing good looks. The pre-facelift model was already a looker, but Mercedes obviously felt that the staid quad-headlamp setup was getting old, so they've revamped it with a modern and sleek singular design with integrated LEDs, while the rear tail lamps also get a refresh with new LEDs. Very nice.

Sexy Star | Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe E250

We've been driving some really good cars lately. But few look as good as the new E-Class Coupe.


Aston Martin hopes the revised front end design would match the striking new rear deck profile at the back, which, it does rather well indeed. The changes are not purely cosmetic; the new grille is one of many aerodynamic and aesthetic upgrades to create more downforce on the Rapide S. Luckily, despite the restyling, the Rapide S is still instantly recognisable as an Aston Martin.

IN Aston Martin, Rapide, Rapide S

Aston Martin continues its face-lifting spree, this time, on their Rapide sports sedan/coupe.


Plus it's not all about the looks, the S5 (like your perfect date) is versatile and smart. It can play a wide variety of roles, from highway cruiser to back road bruiser. Powered by a 333 bhp 3.0-litre V6 supercharged power-plant with 440 Nm of torque, this new engine replaces the old characterful 4.2-litre naturally aspirated V8.

Making its world debut at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show on 6 March 2012, the face-lifted RX range, consisting of the RX 270, RX 350 and RX Hybrid, is set to arrive in Singapore in Q2 this year.


Kia has decided that it's cheaper to learn from the mistakes of others. So the Koup is an honest car. Convincingly striking yet subtle with its strong angular lines, it is sultry in a quiet way. Included in the package for the face-lifted version, is the full bodykit you see here. Complete with the chunky front bumper add-ons, side skirts and rear bumper.

Honestly Good | Kia Forte Koup 1.6 SX

IN Kia, Forte, Koup, Coupe

Kia's sportiest drive has been a success on our roads since its launch two years ago. The new face-lifted version sports a new bodykit and a smooth 6-speed gearbox. We drive the 'better' Kia Koup!


The 2.5-litre V6 unit is unchanged and pushes out a healthy 205bhp from its 24-valve Dual VVTi set-up. It is a quiet and smooth powerplant and dispatches the century sprint in a rather quick 8.4 seconds. Yet somehow, the car seems to lack the 'oomph' the figures suggest. It could be partly due to the overall (excellent) refinement that masks the speed.

2011 WRX grows some muscle

The last incarnation of our favourite boxer-clad rally machine was a bit of a disappointment, missing all the flared-arch fenders and gaping air dams, the response to the GR WRX was lukewarm, at best.


Aggressive new front design an improvement on what was already one of the most handsome cars on our roads.
