We have spy shots of the Hyundai Veloster – the 2011 replacement for the Hyundai Coupe – caught out testing. The Hyundai Coupe has always fought well above its weight. It was the first sign from Hyundai that they could take on the best from Japan and come out fighting. But the Hyundai Coupe is […]

Ford Kuga to be new Ford Escape in US?
Ford dealers in the US are complaining that dropping the Ford Escape name in favour of Ford Kuga will hit sales. We reported back in October that Ford are planning to move production of the Kuga to the US in 2011, and will launch the Ford Kuga in to the US market as a replacement […]
Volvo S60 (2010/2011) – the Video
Volvo has released video of the 2010 / 2011 Volvo S60 ahead of the official launch at the Geneva Motor Show in a few months. We first got the new Volvo S60 tease nearly a year ago, and rather unkindly we speculated that the production car would look nothing like the concept. It looked far […]
Who got a MINI for Christmas, then?
MINI has run an Ad campaign in the Netherlands featuring an empty MINI ‘Box’ at the side of the road. It’s a familiar sight at this time of the year. Rubbish bags piled up at the side of the road (look out – they’ll fine you) surrounded by packaging from Christmas gifts. And most of us don’t […]
Saab bid deadline dropped – production to re-start
Saab is to re-start production lines and the deadline for bids for Saab has been dropped, according to Saab and Spyker’s Victor Muller. I’m not sure whether to call the sale or not of Saab by GM as a debacle or a soap opera. But it certainly seems to be a huge mess and it […]
Mazda RX-7 launch in 2011 – RX-8 dropped, RX-9 to come?
It’s being reported that Mazda are to launch a new RX-7 in 2011 and drop the slow-selling RX-8 altogether. Mazda have persisted with the rotary engine despite the path being a lone furrow. And it would appear they’re not about to give up on the Wankel lump, but they may be about to give up […]
Lexus GS-F to get LF-A V10
Lexus are rumoured to be developing a GS-F with the V10 engine out of the Lexus LF-A to take on the M5 and E63. There have been rumours that Lexus are going to produce a range-topping GS-F for some time. But with car makers looking at downsizing and trying their best to stick smaller and […]
Enzo Spyder Prototype – the Greek version!
An enterprising Greek has created what he calls a ‘Ferrari Enzo Spyder Prototype’ and shoved it up on Ebay. All the talk of late about Ferrari Supercars has been on the replacement for the Enzo – the F70/FX70 – which we recently reported will feature a turbo V8 instead of a V12. But it would […]
2010 Saab 9-5 to become a Buick
Swedish newspaper Dagens Industri is reporting that GM plan to take the 2010 Saab 9-5 and turn it in to a new Buick – the 2011 Buick LaCrosse? The rumours and accusations continue to grow in the row over the fate of the Saab brand. As we reported over Christmas we’ve been convinced for a […]
MINI E – Poor cold weather performance
Testers of the MINI E in the US are reporting cold weather range of a little over 50 miles and poor cold weather traction and handling. We’ve had our moans about BMW using public Guinea Pigs to develop the MINI E. We understand that bringing a new technology to market takes time and a huge […]
