The BBC finds its balls and pens the perfect apology to the Mexican Ambassador’s complaints about Top Gear’s Mexican jibes You all know the background. Top Gear takes the piss. Out of everyone, regardless of race, creed, colour, nationality, political persuasion or personal background. That’s the Top Gear way. And the wonderful antidote Top Gear provides to […]

Ferrari FF: Snow Flow
Ferrari continue feeding out details on the Ferrari FF. This time we have more photos of the Ferrari FF as it runs throw as snowscape. We heard the whispers, and they all pointed the same way – a Shooting Brake Ferrari at Geneva, probably to replace the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti. Although one source pointed to […]
Hyundai i40: On sale UK in June & first i40 interior photo
The production-ready European Hyundai i40 will debut at Geneva and go on sale in the UK in June. Plus we have the first official Hyundai i40 interior photo. We’ve run plenty of stories on the Hyundai i40 in the last year or so as Hyundai rolls out its Mondeo-bashing D-Segment car around the world. But as regular […]
Tesco to sell Used Cars
Tesco are planning to sell hundreds of thousands of used cars using a model similar to Autoquake’s, at small margins with upsold financial services. Last time we looked, Tesco had broken the £1 billion a week sales barrier. It accounts for something daft like one pound in seven spent in the UK. And we worry about Murdoch? Having decimated […]
2011 / 2012 Volkswagen Tiguan leaks
An update to the VW Tiguan for 2011 has leaked from the Volkswagen web site ahead of an official reveal at the Geneva Motor Show. It seems clear that Volkswagen are intending giving their compact softroader – the VW Tiguan – a bit of a nip and tuck for the 2012 model year. A little […]

Toyota are bringing the new, bigger Prius V from Detroit to Geneva. But it’s renamed the Toyota Prius+ and gets two extra seats.

But that’s Toyota’s way forward and we’re going to […]
Alfa Romeo Giulietta Diesel: The middle child
Alfa Romeo launch a 138bhp diesel in the Alfa Romeo Giulietta with 119g/km and 62.8mpg. Starts at £20,750. Alfa Romeo seem to be doing much right – and much less wrong – than ever before. Yet they also seem to be floundering and struggling to make the volume of sales they need to be viable. […]
Brabus Mercedes S350 Bluetec ECO PowerXtra D6S kit
Brabus are offering a plug & play upgrade for the Mercedes 350 CDI – the BRABUS ECO PowerXtra D6S – offering more power, torque and performance & Euro VI compliant. The headline is a bit of a garbled eyeful at first glance. But that’s because although Brabus are pushing their new ECO PowerXtra D6S kit already attached […]
The Alliance on Winter Tyres: The world’s gone MAD
The Alliance on Winter Tyres has been formed to look in to the issue of winter tyres in the UK. What a waste of money. Just advise everyone to fit them. We’ve banged on about Winter tyres to anyone who’ll listen – and those that won’t – for longer than we care to remember. And […]
2011 / 2012 Saab 9-5 SportCombi spied undisguised
We’ve got a spy photo of the new 2012 Saab 9-5 SportCombi undisguised. And a look at Saab’s current prospects. From a flurry of activity when Spyker finally got hold of Saab from GM nearly a year ago, news from Trollhattan has not been exactly flowing out in an endless stream. And good news hasn’t […]
