Vauxhall has revealed the Estate version of the VXR8 – the Vauxhall VXR8 Tourer – which offers oodles of room and 425bhp. It’s taken Vauxhall more than two years to get round to offering an estate version of the slightly bonkers VXR8, but now they’ve done it and delivered the Vauxhall VXR8 Tourer, an estate car with [...]

Opel is adding a bit of rally credibility to the new Adam by taking it rallying with an Adam R2 rally car for a one-make cup. The new Opel Adam (and Vauxhall Adam, for that matter) is a car we love the look of – even if it does seem to be a mish-mash of [...]

GM and PSA Logos

Talks between GM Europe and PSA (Peugeot Citroen) have failed as a French government bailout for PSA looks imminent. When we reported in March that G.M.
