It’s being reported that Mercedes will offer the 2012 / 2013 Mercedes A-Class AMG – based on the Mercedes Concept-A – with 350bhp and 4WD. It’s rather hard to imagine the current Mercedes A-Class coming with 350bhp running through its front wheels. It may have managed to pass the Elk test to make it safe, […]

Citroen DS5: Official
Citroen has revealed the Citroen DS5 – complete with Hybrid4 powertrain – which appears to be as convincing an upmarket Citroen as the DS3. We had the arrival of the Citroen DS5 trumpeted as long ago as 2009 when we revealed that the DS5 would arrive in 2009, complete with hybrid diesel powertrain. Despite the official debut […]
Peugeot SXC Crossover: WON’T get HYbrid4 & probably won’t be built either.
Cars UK has discovered that the Peugeot SXC Concept is unlikely to be produced, and if it is it will NOT get the HYbrid4 powertrain. In the last year we’ve probably done at least ten Peugeot Reviews. And we really haven’t found anything much to moan about. We rate the Peugeot 5008 as about the […]
