Here are the five must-read, must-watch auto news stories, review and videos for Monday, June 29, 2015.
FUTURE
No surprises here. In keeping with Audi’s handsome but conservative design ethos, the 2017 Audi A4, the first all-new A4 since the fourth-gen B8 was introduced nearly eight years ago, looks a lot like the previous car. Although its dimensions have increased marginally, the new A4 will weigh approximately 265 pounds less than the outgoing car. The wagon is gorgeous, but we’re more likely to receive a slightly elevated, be-cladded Allroad version of the Avant. Audi USA sells an average of 38,000 A4s per year.
TTAC
2015 will be the seventh consecutive year that Ford’s Fiesta ends a calendar year as the United Kingdom’s best-selling car. The Fiesta’s lead over the second-ranked Vauxhall Corsa stands at 18,883 units through just five months. The Fiesta outsold the second-ranked car, Ford’s own Focus, by 46,114 units in 2014.
