Audi A1 – the ONLY premium Super Mini
Audi are claiming that their soon to be launched Super Mini – The Audi A1 – will be the only premium car in its sector. We’ve got a bit bored with the tease that is the Audi A1. After all, we have a pretty good idea what it’s all about and it seems to be […]
Kia Ray Concept at Chicago Motor Show
Kia are to reveal a plug-in hybrid concept – the Kia Ray Concept – at the Chicago Motor Show next month. Yes, the Detroit Motor Show is only just about done, but waiting in the wings is the rather less fancy Chicago Motor Show (although they probably won’t thank us for describing it as such). […]
Buick Regal (2011) – US prices announced
GM has announced prices for the US for the 2011 Buick Regal – the US version of the Insignia. Prices start at $26,995 and deliveries start in March 2010. I know, we almost certainly won’t get the Buick Regal in the UK. After all, we get the Vauxhall Insignia which is, to all intents and […]

Audi are to start building the Q5 in India alongside the A4 and A6 at the Skoda plant in Aurangabad. With the rise and rise of car sales in emerging markets, and the huge import duties car makers face on cars built in Europe destined for these new markets, it’s no wonder car makers are […]
Lexus LFA at Salon Privé 2010
Salon Privé has announced that this years show at the Hurlingham club will include the Lexus LFA.

MINI Countryman (2010/2011) – The Video
We have the first video of the new MINI Countryman on the road. And for a high-riding, stretched MINI it doesn’t look too bad. It’s been a bit of a MINI week this week. Or rather a bit of a MINI Countryman week. We started off a couple of days ago with the latest teaser […]
SEAT Ibiza FR TDI announced
SEAT has announced the SEAT Ibiza FR TDI featuring a 1.4 litre turbo diesel with 141bhp. Priced from £16,465 and deliveries start in the UK in March. ‘Sporty’ and Diesel’ were two words that never used to go together.
