The CLS has been with us for 5 years now, and has been a real success story for Mercedes. It really started the trend for 4-door coupes, and its success has made this a really busy niche of late – VW Passat, Aston Martin Rapide, Porsche Panamera and the soon to be reality Audi A7, […]
Lexus LF-A still on the cards
With the car world in turmoil, and buyers running scared of high performance cars, most of the car makers around the world are shelving their high-end projects until things settle down.

Morgan celebrates 100 years – and a new model
There aren’t many car makers around the world who have been in business for 100 years, and even fewer that have remained in the same family for all that time. But Morgan, that maker of anachronistic 1930s-style cars, is not only still going strong, it is celebrating its 100 year anniversary in 2009, and is […]
2009 Audi R8 V10 Image Gallery

Seat announces Exeo prices
It was always a game motor manufacturers played. Re-badge an outgoing model with a subsidiary marque’s name, throw in a few ‘Design’ features, and Hey Presto. New car!

Lotus Evora Image Gallery
The Lotus Evora is the first real new Lotus for more than a decade. The only mid-engined 2+2, the Lotus Evora promises a huge a mount of fun, for not a lot of money. Due on sale in the UK in the Summer of 2009, the Evora has attracted some very high-profile buyers since it […]
