And the Ford Fiesta spy shots continue to pour in… First we saw the hatchback undergoing cold weather testing. Then just last week, our spy shooters caught the sedan testing in Germany. But now we’ve got the best view yet of the mid-lifecycle Fiesta refresh due in 2014. Funk Flex
Auto Talk: First 2013 Honda Accord prototype caught testing
There is no way to overstate how crucial the new Accord launch is to Honda’s future. After some recent missteps, from the launch of the dowdy and unloved Crosstour to the yawn-inducing 2012 Civic, and with new competition mounting from Ford, Hyundai and Kia, Honda clearly needs a winner in its redesigned midsize sedan.

Auto Talk: Chevy SS prototype already taking the checkered flag
General Motors isn’t set to begin producing the new Chevrolet SS until early next year, but the company has recently been spotted testing the model on U.S. streets. Our spy photographers managed to click a few photos of a heavily camouflaged version of the sedan before engineers spirited it back into the relative safety of the automaker’s facilities. Even so, those on hand could easily hear the bark and snarl of an impressive V8 propelling the machine around. Odds are that’s a naturally-aspirated 6.2-liter lump behind the headlights, though GM was using a Cadillac CTS-V chase vehicle to keep pace, leading some to speculate as to whether or not the company may be considering a supercharged version.

Auto Talk: Mercedes-Benz S-Class ain’t no bag lady
We’ve seen weirder camouflage. But despite the fact that this next-generation Mercedes-Benz S-Class prototype looks like it drove through a garbage bag warehouse, we now have a very clear glimpse at some of the new car’s details – namely, the shapely front fascia. Funk Flex
Auto Talk: Audi R8 facelift comes into focus
These are spy shots of the facelifted Audi R8 that we expect to see later this year. You’ll need to look very closely at the front to see where the lifting and tucking has been done: new LED headlights inside a slightly reworked grille. Around back are round tailpipes like those on the R8 GT. Funk Flex
Auto Talk: Next Land Rover Range Rover reveals more of its lighter body
This isn’t the first (or second, or third) time we’ve caught the next-generation Big Daddy Range Rover out testing, but this latest set of spy photos gives us our best look yet at some of the SUV’s new exterior details. (Sidenote: We have to commend Jaguar Land Rover for having some of the coolest camouflage patterns in the world.) Funk Flex
