In the drawn-out saga that is the New Jaguar XJ (we’ve had the new Jaguar XJ teaser video and the Jaguar XJ testing at the Nurburgring), Jaguar has released a video of the designer, Ian Callum, reflecting on the XJ. Which is a new twist on the ‘tease’ that is the order of the day […]
Hummer sale agreed

Peugeot 5008 revealed
Apparently, this new Peugeot 5008 – a 7 seat MPV – is reminiscent of the TGV. I suppose. Peugeot has released details of their new MPV – the Peugeout 5008 – ahead of the official unveil at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. And yes, it does have a look of the TVG on the […]
McLaren F1 – the California Burn-Up!
