Volkswagen has released the luxury VW Tiguan Track and Avenue in to the European market, starting at €38,000. No plans to bring the car to the UK. Even when you buy a compact SUV, it’s nice to have the option of some luxury toys. And car makers like to offer range-topping cars with lots of […]
Vauxhall planning City Car
Vauxhall/Opel’s new European boss Nick Reilly has stated that their number one priority is to develop a City Car for the Vauxhall range.

The Ultimate Golfer’s Car – The Garia
Danish maker Garia has launched a range of up-market Golf Carts which start at a mind-boggling £14,500. I’m afraid we’d call it a Golfer’s Cart, but Garia – makers of what must surely be the most OTT golf cart in production – insist it’s a golf car. Or at least they do in all the […]
New Jaguar XJR (2010 / 2011) planned?
Are Jaguar planning on building a range-topping, barn-storming XJR / XJ Supersport R version of the new 2010 / 2011 XJ? Maybe. But only maybe. But it does make sense. After all, the other models in the Jaguar range – the XF and the XK – both sport an ‘R’ model, so why wouldn’t the […]

Silverstone gets British Grand Prix
It has been announced that Silverstone has signed a 17 year deal to host the F1 British Grand Prix.

It seemed certain […]
New Lexux RX? No, it’s a BYD S6
Chinese car maker BYD are producing an SUV – the BYD S6 – which appears to be a clone of the Lexus RX. You may remember back in May that we reported on a Porsche Cayenne clone from Chinese car maker BYD, which appeared to be a complete rip-off of the SUV from Stuttgart. At […]

Audi has revealed that the electric e-Tron will now launch in late 2012, and we reveal the torque figures quoted for the e-Tron are rubbish. Audi’s electric R8 – the Audi e-Tron – was unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show this year and has just had its US debut at the Los Angeles Motor Show. […]
