GM are claiming that they are upping production of the Chevy Volt by 50% to 45,00 in 2012. But is it just PR Flim-Flam?

Hungarian Grand Prix (2010) RESULT
On the face of it more Red Bull domination on the grid, with a resurgent Ferrari snapping at their heels and McLaren a poor relation. Is that how it finished?

Jaguar XJ 3.0 Litre Diesel Review & Road Test (2010)
The new Jaguar XJ – a Jaguar XJ 3.0 Litre Diesel Portfolio SWB – arrives for a road test and review. Does it live up to it’s promise? It’s 1968, and I’m knee-high to a grasshopper and still wearing shorts. The world is moving fast – the Vietnam War is raging; Enoch Powell delivers his […]
