The rumour mill is working overtime on everything cars at the moment. But this story seems to be for real. Honda is set to announce that its Formula 1 Team is to be put up for sale with immediate effect, and if no buyer materialises then it intends pulling out of the new Formula 1 […]

Maserati Grand Turismo MC Sport Line
The Maserati Grand Turismo is a stunning looking car. It’s exactly how a Maserati should look – flowing lines, gorgeous curves and an aggressive, yet subtle stance. But it’s been criticised for its lack of punch and sharpness. And in some ways the critics are right – it’s certainly not as focused as it could […]
Men & Motors goes Classic
Cars, that is. It seems unlikely we’ll get the BBC Philharmonic in Concert on the Men & Motors Channel. No, this is M&M announcing their first original commission for a programme for over three years. As we all know, M&M is the low-rent ITV digital motoring offering.

2009 Audi S5 / A5 Cabriolet Revealed
It’s arguably not the best time to announce a range of stylish, quality convertibles. No one’s buying anything, and winter is here. But that hasn’t stopped Audi, who today revealed details of the S5 and A5 Convertibles. Audi get so much right (and so little wrong) these days. There hasn’t been a real dog in […]
Mercedes C Class sales top 500,000
It’s nice to hear a bit of good news for a change. Mercedes has just passed a big landmark with sales of the current C Class, passing the 500,000 mark since the car’s launch in March of 2007. The C Class is the modern version of the 190 – the car everyone said would be […]
