VW is pushing out its BlueMotion offerings with the announcement that the next Touareg will be offered with Volkaswagen’s first full production Hybrid when it launches next year. Also on offer will be a Passat BlueMotion, a Passat Blue TDi and a Passat TSi EcoFuel. I think we can guess which way VW are going […]
Nissan Qazana at Geneva
The UK Car industry has suffered one blow after another. Just about everyone is shut down or on short time, and the rounds of strikes we’ve seen in the UK in the last days is a pretty clear indication of fear in the jobs market. So it’s nice to see a bit of good news. […]
Toyoto Aygo goes Black and Blue
No, it hasn’t been having a fight (although it could be down to Top Gear’s football Aygo matches!), but Toyota has launched the 2009 version of the Aygo, and two new editions, the Aygo Black and the Aygo Blue. The Aygo was launched back in 2005, as a sub-Yaris city car, and has carved a […]
Big 4x4s do have a use after all!
Well, it looks like the value of my Porsche Cayenne S may just have risen from nothing to something! The heaviest snowfall in the south east for many years has lead to chaos on our roads. Slip-sliding around has been the name of the game, with only 4 wheel drive cars being able to make […]
Audi R8 – Now it’s the video
We’ve been waiting for the Audi R8 V10 for some time. But now it’s getting close Audi are busy teasing us with one little snippet or another. First we had the Audi R8 V10 images. Then we had the prices and specifications. And now it’s the turn of the video. As we wrote recently, the […]
Aston Martin Rapide – First official image – again!
As we’ve said before, the Aston Martin Rapide has been so long coming it feels like it’s already here. But it’s not, despite the spy pictures of the Rapide we’ve seen, and now comes the first official picture – apparently. We’ve seen an ‘official’ Aston Martin Rapide image before, but this looks more convincing, even […]
Subaru Impreza WRX Turbo at 1994 prices
More on the ‘Recession-Busting’ deals that abound from car makers at the moment. Subaru has come up with a deal for the Impreza WRX Turbo where you can have the car for the same price as the 1994 equivalent – just £17,798. Which in itself is an interesting figure and shows that cars, or certainly […]
BMW M6 Video
The BMW M6 is the flagship of the BMW range. A hugely powerful, £80k coupe, it has enormous power (if you can work out the right settings from the iDrive!). Not really the prettiest of cars it is, never the less, a real competitor in the market. On paper it is more powerful than the […]
2008 BMW M3 (E92) Road Test Video
The most successful car of its type ever made, the latest version of the M3 has a stonking V8 and huge power reserves, but still manages to be (slightly) more economical than the outgoing model. The new V8 model gives the powerful BMW a more relaxed demeanour (when you want it) but those huge reserves […]
McLaren P11 caught testing
A couple of weeks ago we reported that Ron Dennis was stepping down from control of McLaren F1, to concentrate on other projects in the McLaren group. One of the main ones was the development of McLaren’s new Ferrari bashing P11, a mid-engined lightweight 2 seater, in the mould of the old McLaren F1, but […]
