Suzuki are teasing a concept for Geneva – the Suzuki Swift S-CONCEPT – which we expect to be a hot Swift with the 178bhp lump from the Polo GTI and a 7-speed DSG ‘box. Suzuki ended up giving us a bit of detail on the 2011 Swift back in June last year. But their hand […]
Peugeot 508 Estate (SW) ‘AllRoad’ Spied
We have spy photos of what appears to be an Allroad version of the new Peugeot 508 SW (Estate). Perhaps even running Peugeot’s Hybrid4 setup. We’re only just starting to see the Peugeot 508 – the replacement for both the 407 and 607 – hitting roads in Europe, but already we’re starting to see evidence that Peugeot […]
Nissan ESFLOW: Electric Sports Car
Nissan has produced an electric sports car – the Nissan ESFLOW – which will do 0-650mph in under 5 seconds and will debut at the Geneva Motor Show. As Tesla has already proved, if you throw enough money at it, employ enough publicists (including self-publicists) and string enough laptop batteries together, you can make an […]

Range Rover reveals the Range Rover Autobiography Ultimate Edition, a £125k Range Rover with individual rear seats, built-in iPads – and the best of everything.

Toyota Throttlegate NOT Electronic
The US Congress report on last year’s Toyota sticky throttle recall concludes the problem was entirely mechanical and not software related. Last year we extensively covered the Toyota sticky throttle recall, which also extended to Peugeot and Citroen as they shared the Toyota Aygo in the C1 and 107. And as far as we can see, […]
‘Groundbreaking’ Ford B-Max at Geneva
Ford will reveal the Ford B-Max at the Geneva motor show together with a raft of electric cars, a cleaner Mondeo ECOnetic and the Fiesta WRC. To be entirely fair to Ford, they haven’t said that there will be a ‘Groundbreaking Ford B-Max’ at Geneva. What they have said is that there will be a […]
2012 Subaru Impreza – New York launch
It’s being reported that Subaru will take a production-ready 2012 Subaru Impreza to the New York Motor Show in April and on sale in August. One of the surprises of the Los Angeles Motor Show in November was the Subaru Impreza Concept – a car that really wasn’t on our radar. Subaru insisted that this Impreza […]
BMW Z2 at Geneva
It seems clear BMW are planning to take a small roadster concept to the Geneva Motor Show – the BMW Z2. The idea of a sub-Z4 roadster from BMW has been a round a while. Well, at least as long as the Z4 has. And while we have no idea if it will be called the Z2, […]
