New interior shots of new Honda CRV 2012

Courtesy of Chinacartimes, now we have a glimpse of the new Honda CRV 2012 interior. It retains the basic architecture of current CRV, but with added touch of integrated ICE and new meter combi. The new gear lever resides at the same place as previous one.

Note the ECO symbol (the leaves thing) present here too, like the new Civic. More photos after the jump.

Toyota Camry 2012 JDM brochure with Modellista package

Honda CRV 2012 leaked photos

Chinese publication has spotted the Honda CRV 2012. As expected, the car stays faithful to the concept photos revealed by Honda recently.

Basic design remains similar to the concept photos. Just that some refinement has been done to the bumper areas near the flog lamps and skirting. The grille does indeed protrude into the headlight!

Proton Persona R (P3-21A) spied near COE

Seems that the new Proton Persona R (P3-21A) starts pounding the streets again. This time it was spied by Paultan reader. It still did not reveal much, as the cladding is still very thick.

Pity that we couldn't see the dashboard from this angle. The rest of the car does not reveal anything we don't yet know.

 More after the jump.

Hyundai Santa Fe 2013 spied

The 2012 model of Hyundai Santa Fe has been spotted in South Korea. The popular crossover will be replaced with a more agressively styled model, in-line with current Hyundai design trend. The CUV is said to adopt Tuscon styling cues, which should make it to be one of the most stylish CUV around.

In Malaysia, the latest Santa Fe creates quite a buzz when the facelifted model gained an updated turbo-diesel engine which produced 442 Nm of torque. The torque figure alone is worth a lot of conversation in the office and mamak. So a capable diesel engine plus stylish body with 7 seater space to boot, what's more could one ask for!

The CUV is slated to make an appearance in 2012 LA motorshow, and will probably go on sale at the middle of that year as 2013 MY. For Malaysian market, our wait might be longer than the US as Hyundai typically take some time to arrive here. The new Elantra is said to be coming soon. It has recently reached Singapore show. For over excited new Elantra fans, heads off to Singapore Car Mart to see how the new-age Hyundai fares against competition.
