Frankfurt Motor Show 2013: Top 10 British cars at the show
The British motor industry is going through a rennaissance currently, with sales, exports and production numbers on the up. We're also bucking trends as buyers, becuse unlike the rest of Europe, car sales in the UK continue to increase, and are now not far off exceeding pre-Credit Crunch levels in 2008.
The diverse range of manufacturers that bolt cars together in the UK aren't limited to those that wear British nameplates. Companies from across the globe are making huge investment, building cars here, taking advantage of the UK's quality standards, which are among the highest in the world. And here 10 of the best Brits at Frankfurt.
Honda Civic Tourer
Honda put the Tourer ahead of the Type-R in the Civic's development queue, so let's hope it's been worth the wait. The new Tourer will boast a whopping 1668 litres of storage and be introduced to UK showrooms in early 2014. An innovation are its ‘Magic Seats’ system which, thanks to a repositioned fuel tank, lets you fold the seat bases up so you can carry tall objects like pot plants on the rear seat floor. You can also fold the seats down completely flat with the use of one lever and because the seat bases drop rather than fold up, the load length is maximised – handy for flat pack furniture.
