Just as with the BMW ActiveHybrid X6 we gave you details of earlier, we reported on the BMW Active Hybrid 7 Series a couple of weeks ago when it was announced that the car would be at Frankfurt. And as with the X6 ActiveHybrid, BMW has today release imnages and details of the 7 Series. […]
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 […]
New Kia Sorento at Frankfurt
As with its sister company Hyundai, Kia is inexorably moving in to the mainstream, and is starting to produce cars that compete with the best models from Europe and Japan. Already on the cards is the new Kia Cee’d at Frankfurt, and Kia has now confirmed that it is bringing the new Kia Sorento to […]

Lamborghini Reventon Roadster at Pebble Beach?
Our exclusive report back in March that there is a Lamborghini Reventon Roadster on the way has been rumbling on without conclusion. We know it’s real (in fact we know one very high-profile Russian who already has a contract) but we also know that the original plan to reveal the Roadster was delayed because there […]
Mazda MX-5 Superlight at Frankfurt
The Mazda MX-5 has, by any measure, been a huge success for Mazda. Born 20 years ago (the Mazda MX-5 20th Anniversary model has just been released in Japan), the MX-5 is the best selling roadster of all time, with sales of over 850,000 in the last 20 years. And it’s achieved its success by […]
Salon Prive 2009 – a Good ‘Do’
If ever I took my Dad out to an event and he enjoyed himself, he always said the same thing – “That was a good do. Thanks”. And so it is with Salon Prive – a ‘Good Do’, thanks. And it really is. Yes, the price of entry is a somewhat eye-watering £125-200 (depending on […]
New Jaguar XJ public debut at Salon Privé
I know, we said that after the deluge of detail on the new Jaguar XJ over the last few weeks – and particularly at the end of last week – that there wouldn’t be as much about the XJ for a while. After all, we’ve said pretty much all there is to say and until […]
MotorExpo London 2009 – a quick look
We haven’t had a Motor Show worth getting too excited about in the UK for a while. What we have had has been a pale imitation of the great shows of the past, and maybe the end is near for the Motor Show as we think of it. After all, the time was when a […]
Veritas RS III World Debut at Salon Privé
Vermot AG are responsible for the Veritas RS III, a modern day recreation of a 1940s German racer. And it does look pretty stunning. It weighs in at less than 2400lbs but features a either V10 BMW (as in the M5) or a V8 (as in the M3), offering either 600bhp or 480bhp. Expect fireworks! […]
