Bentley Grand Convertible

That's right, the abundant and abundantly luxurious Mulsanne-based Grand Convertible will arrive on public roads in 2019. However, Bentley plans just 19 examples of the droptops, and none of them will come to America; only Europe, the Middle East, and Russia have deemed the Grand Convertible roadworthy.
Retail price for the Grand Convertible, as if you could buy one in the store, is said to start at $3.5 million - roughly ten times more than the recently-facelifted Mulsanne Speed donor vehicle. (YouTube gearhead Shmee150 captured the new production look in video taken this month at the Bentley showroom in Dubai.)

New Mazda Crossover
If Mazda is going to increase sales, it's going to need more crossovers. According to company CEO Masamichi Kogai, a new crossover that won't cannibalize sales of the CX-3, CX-5, and CX-9 is coming in 2021, to be built at the new U.S. factory Mazda is building in partnership with Toyota. The plant will be able to build 150,000 vehicles per year, and that full capacity will be reserved for the new CUV.
X5, nice!
Volvo began production of the XC40 today in Ghent, Belgium. But don’t get too excited, because the small crossover won’t arrive in U.S. dealerships until well into next year.
The XC40 is the first vehicle to sit on Volvo’s new Compact Modular Architecture. Co-developed with parent company Geely, this architecture will underpin a range of small cars. At the start of production, the XC40 will be available with a T5 turbocharged four-cylinder engine making 248 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque, paired with all-wheel drive. Other powertrains will arrive later.
To prepare for the XC40 and its new platform, Volvo expanded the Ghent plant’s body shop significantly. More than 363 new robots have been added, including one called “the Beast,” which lifts car bodies onto a conveyor belt near the ceiling of the plant. These upgrades should help Volvo make quick work of the 13,000 XC40 orders it has already received. In addition to the XC40, the facility is also home to the V40, V40 Cross Country, S60, and V60.
