It looks like the decision to build a quattro platform for the Audi S1 will mean the 2012 VW Polo R will also be a quattro. After the ‘Will they, Won’t they’ messing around in the run up to the Paris Motor Show with the Audi S1, we finally got the Audi A1 1.4 TFSI […]

Chevy Volt / Vauxhall Ampera: MUCH better than it seemed. Possibly.
The Chevy Volt Brouhaha rumbles on, with Motor Trend pitching in their opinion after a drive. But they’re being either disingenuous or gullible. We’re not sure which. The brouhaha online this week has centred around GM’s revelation that the Chevy Volt / Vauxhall Ampera is actually not a true Range Extender EV but a hybrid. A different […]
New Lotus Elite: Top-Down +video
We have a photo of the new Lotus Elite – due in 2014 – with its top down and a video as well. I think we’ve just about got over the surprise of a New Lotus Elite dropping from a clear blue sky in the week before the Paris Motor Show. What we still haven’t […]
2011 BMW 6 Series Convertible: First photo
We have the first photo of the 2011 BMW 6-Series Convertible, and the news it will launch at the Detroit Motor Show in January 2011. We got the reveal of the BMW 6-Series Concept at the Paris Motor Show last week (well, the car BMW are calling the 6-Series Concept. If you believe that) and […]
Chrysler 200C Revealed
Chrysler has revealed the Chrysler 200C, a replacement for the much disliked Sebring. There are no plans to bring the 200C to the UK. Although the Chrysler Sebring is a car you can actually pop off to your dealer and buy in the UK, a chunk of readers on this side of the Pond will […]

It’s been revealed that Porsche’s baby Cayenne – the Porsche Cajun – will in fact be a high-riding, 2-door coupe crossover. It’s only a week or two since we finally discovered for certain that Porsche will be building an SUV / Crossover based on the Audi Q5. And we also discovered that instead of being […]
BMW 320d EfficientDynamics Review & Road Test (2010) part 3
Part 3 of our week long review and road test of the BMW 320d Blue Efficiency. Try as hard as we can we can find precious little wrong with the BMW 320d Efficient Dynamics. About the only thing we can come up with that’s specific to the 320d ED is the longer final drive. We’ve […]
BMW 320d EfficientDynamics Review & Road Test (2010) part 2
Part 2 of our review and road test of the BMW 320d EfficientDynamics. Can it really drive like a proper BMW 3 Series? The BMW 32d EfficientDynamics could have been a step too far. It could have been a cynical marketing car; one dreamed up by bean counters and marketers instead of engineers and car […]
BMW 320d EfficientDynamics Review & Road Test (2010)
We spend a week with the BMW 320d EfficientDynamics, BMW’s super-frugal, tax man beating 3-Series. Is it a real 3-Series or just an eco-statement? It comes as something of a shock to realise that the BMW 3 Series has been around for thirty five years, not least since I remember its launch and the stir […]
Jaguar’s Mike O’Driscoll calls it a day
Jaguar’s Managing Director Mike O’Driscoll is to retire from Jaguar in March 2011, although he will remain Chairman of Jaguar Heritage. Jaguar’s Managing Director Mike O’Driscoll has been a Jaguar man for longer than he probably cares to remember. In fact he joined Jaguar Rover Triumph (as it then was) as long ago as 1975, when he […]
