Vaxhall Insignia ecoFLEX Sports Tourer – Details
The Vauxhall Insignia is a very good car. As, in fact, is virtually every car in Vauxhall’s stable. But the Insignia is perhaps the most stylish, and in Sports Tourer guise it is a match for anything else out there, particularly the VXR Sports Tourer, which is a cracking car. But performance is not quite […]

New BMW 320d EfficientDynamics
BMW is falling over itself to introduce ‘Green’ cars. It’s running TV adverts telling us that a BMW is a ‘Joy’, and only managing to throw the Bob Lutz penned ‘Ultimate Driving Machine’ in as an afterthought. They’ve released details of the ActiveHybrid X6 and the ActiveHybrid 7. All very commendable, but if they carry […]
