There really are some big advantages of having been in the car news game for a long, long time. Cars UK is a relative newcomer compared in particular to people like Autocar, which is about as old as car magazines get. Which probably explains why Autocar editor Steve Cropley was lucky enough to find himself […]
Porsche 911 GT3 RS (2010) bows in
Hot on the heels of the new 2010 Porsche 911 Turbo comes the announcement this morning from Porsche of the 2010 Porsche 911 GT3 RS. A subtle looking Porsche. As you can probably guess, the first thing the latest GT3 RS gets is a hike in power, courtesy of the move from the old naturally […]
SEAT Leon Cupra R at Frankfurt
Back in April we reported the launch of the SEAT Leon Cupra, which promised to be a cracking car. But then came rumours of a more powerful SEAT Leon Cupra, which would sport the same 265bhp engine as the VW Scirroco R. We thought it might be too soon after the Leon Cupra. But we […]
Peugeot 3008 HYbrid4 & Peugeot RCZ HYbrid4 at Frankfurt
We finally – after two years of waiting – get the gen on the new Peugeot RCZ, and it turns out there’s another story on the RCZ waiting in the wings – The Peugeot RCZ HYbrid4. But not just the Peugeot RCZ HYbrid4. The RCZ’s sibling – at least platform-wise – is the 3008. And […]
Hyundai ix35 teased ahead of Frankfurt
Hyundai has been in the news lately, mainly because of the way it’s managed to react to the Scrappage schemes here, in Europe and in the USA. Its proactive marketing has succeeded in getting Hyundai to the top of the Scrappage sales table. But in Europe, it has been sales of the Hyundai Tucson that […]
Peugeot RCZ revealed
Peugeot teased us last month with ‘Arty’ photos of the Peugeot RCZ. So we knew it wouldn’t be too long before Peuguot got round to releasing detail on the RCZ (Peugeot hasn’t bothered with the ‘308’ before the RCZ) and now, two years after the Peugeot RCZ turned up as a concept at Frankfurt, we […]

BMW ActiveHybrid 7 Series introduced

New Mazda CX-7 (2010) at Frankfurt
The Mazda CX-7 is another of those Mazdas that’s not really on car buyers’ radar. Which is a shame. It’s actually a pretty good crossover / SUV effort from Mazda. Sort of in the mould of a Nissan Qashqai, but with a decent dose of Mazda fun dialled in. But the drawback to the CX-7 […]
