Volkswagen has had the mildest of plays with the Eos to create a 2011 VW Eos Facleift. But it really is minor. Please, don’t get too excited. This is more of a rhinoplasty than a facelift; more about putting the latest family nose on Volkswagens’s Coupe Cabriolet than anything else. So what exactly is the extent […]
Subaru WRX STI 2011: Drops Impreza and adds a saloon
The Subaru WRX STI (no longer the ‘Impreza’) goes on sale this month as a 4-door saloon or 5-door hatch at £32,995 Back in April we reported that Subaru had unveiled the Subaru Impreza WRX STI at the New York Motor Show and commented that it turned up as a four-door saloon. Which we haven’t had in […]
Audi Spectacle: Audi dangles cars from iconic bridges
Audi has produced a set of adverts showing the Audi rings – containing real Audi cars – beneath iconic bridges. The picture at the top is one of a set of images (you can see them all in the gallery below) created by the Access Agency, which claims it is a concept for a series of […]
Volvo highlights REAL emissions with an emissions App
Volvo has released an App which allows users to see the real emissions of cars, rather than just the rather pointless CO2. Back in July we reported that Volvo had launched a campaign to raise awareness of the real emissions from cars, rather than just the headline CO2 emissions which, thanks to the short-sighted attitude of Governments, seems […]
Jaguar XJ – the future-proof Jag
Jaguar is to offer all XJ owners the latest software on the new XJ, ensuring all XJs benefit from the latest functions available. And it’s free. Back when I was a lad (around the same time as Adam) cars were simple things. The engine was fed petrol by something called a carburettor (which wasn’t bright enough […]
2011 VW Phaeton: Prices announced
VW has announced that the revamped VW Phaeton will cost from £46,195 for the 3.0 litre V6 TDI 240PS BlueMotion. We did wonder whether it was actually worth running the news that the 2011 VW Phaeton will cost from £46,195, as it’s probably only a relevant story for about three people a year in the UK. Which might be […]
Ferrari California HELE: Paris Motor Show 2010
Ferrari has taken an ECO Ferrari to the Paris Motor Show – the Ferrari California HELE – which offers lower emissions and lower fuel consumption. Not surprisingly, most of the Ferrari focus at the Paris Motor Show has been on the Ferrari SA APERTA, the 599 Roadster making its first appearance. But the SA APERTA isn’t the […]
VW Golf Twist: Just £13k
Volkswagen has revealed a new entry-level Golf – the VW Golf Twist – which starts at £12,995 for the 3-door. When times are tough car buyers look to save wherever they can. And many new car buyers will forsake the more premium marques in order to save a few bob, and instead look at capable but less […]
New Lotus: The £770 million future
It seems that Lotus has a £770 million war chest to make the concepts at the Paris Motor Show a reality. The star of the Paris Motor Show for us was Jaguar with the C-X75 Concept. But if we were a little less cynical it would have been the New Lotus Concepts. But why the […]
Cadillac CTS-V Estate (Wagon) Priced
Cadillac has revealed that the Cadillac CTS-V Wagon will cost $62,990 in the US, and probably around £65k when it gets to the UK. We don’t rave over too much metal from the States. Especially not big saloons and station wagons. But we’ve made an exception for the M5 challenging Cadillac CTS-V. And for its […]
