Bosses wanted to mount...

Bosses wanted to mount a giant, rotating, illuminated version of the company logo, measuring 5.85 metres, on top of the main cone-shaped building at the historic site of Mercedes-Benz World in Brooklands, Surrey. However, Elmbridge District Council has refused planning permission, stating it would be "visually intrusive in an area of special advertising control" and "detract from the views of the ancient monument".



Thanks to a longer wheelbase...

Thanks to a longer wheelbase and wider track, the newcomer is now a genuine five-seater. What"s more, its interior is more versatile; not only do the rear chairs slide, as before, but the seatbacks now fold, too, creating a flat load space. Carrying capacity is further boosted by a larger, more practical boot.

The Laguna Coupé will sit above the forthcoming hatch­back and estate models, which will be unveiled for the first time later this year at the Frankfurt Motor Show.

The white bumpers hold...

The white bumpers hold the only clue to its potential - they have been cut and modified to accept a longer wheelbase. Apart from that, the car is almost identical to the current model.

But that certainly won"t be the case when it goes on sale. The next-generation supermini will be larger than the outgoing version, as Fiat now has the Panda offering five-door versatility to buyers of smaller cars. It will have an all-new platform, which it"s set to share with Vauxhall"s next Corsa. Engines will include the excellent 1.3-litre Multijet diesel from the existing Punto.
