All-new Toyota RAV4 to be shown at Los Angeles motor show; BMW sets standards for in-car multimedia; Chevrolet releases Camaro Hot Wheels edition in UK
Toyota’s all new RAV4 is set to be revealed at the 2012 Los Angeles motor show, held on the 28 November. The unveiling comes before its release to the UK public in early 2013.
BMW is to include DAB radio as standard on all models throughout its range from January 2013. The news secures the marque as market leaders in the preparation for digital broadcasting, ensuring that no customers are left without in-car multimedia when analogue programming ceases. DAB radio provides a larger choice of stations, improved reception and superior sound quality. It has recently been offered by the firm as a retrofit upgrade option for older cars.
Chevrolet will release its Camaro Hot Wheels edition in the UK in early 2013. The model becomes the first full-scale production Hot Wheels car ever sold by a manufacturer. The V8 coupé comes with a choice of manual or automatic transmission, and is finished in Kinetic Blue metallic paint, replete with fender 'flame' graphics and black 20-inch wheels amongst other Hot Wheels styling cues.
