The Mercedes G-Class is not exactly one of Mercedes’ front-line models. But it is iconic and has been with us since the ’70s. Which means the G-Class is now 30 years old, and to celebrate Mercedes has decided to add a few nips and tucks to the venerable 4×4. Don’t get too excited, though. These […]

Update 12/2/2010: Citroen has now revealed the DS 4 in concept form as the Citroen DS High rider Concept.

Porsche Panamera – Promo Video
Things have gone a little quiet on the Porsche Panamera front recently. After an understandable plethora of news and stories on the Panamera around reveal time at Shanghai, Porsche hasn’t had much to say on the car.

Lexus LF-A UK debut at Goodwood
As we’ve mentioned before, the Lexus LF-A Supercar has been a long time coming. It is now four years since Lexus teased us with the possibility and it seemed for a while as if it was just that – a tease and nothing more. But we’ve seen the Lexus LF-A out testing in close to […]
Mercedes CLS Grand Edition – UK details
Back in January we reported on the Mercedes CLS Grand Edition, so it has taken five months for the car to become available in the UK. But it’s here now. I really like the Mercedes CLS. In top engine form in particular it is an astonishingly good drive. It doesn’t feel at all like a […]
