It’s only a couple of months since Ford raised prices in the UK, citing the weakness of the pound against the Euro as the cause. I guess that’s what happens when you stop building cars in the UK (Ford only build engines here now). Interestingly, this comes just a week after Sterling hit a 2009 […]

New Vauxhall Astra Roadster preview
The guys over at Auto Express certainly knock out a rendering or two of cars that are to come. They’re not always bang on the money, but they make for interesting viewing (sometimes) and we’ve run one or two of their renderings before. With the new Vauxhall Astra starting to be pushed by Vauxhall ahead […]
Toyota Auris Hybrid in the UK
Update September ’09: The Toyota Auris Hybrid has now been revealed at Frankfurt and will go on sale in the second half of 2010. As we are all only too well aware, Toyota has just launched the new Toyota Prius, which is claimed to be a big improvement on the old Prius, so much so […]
Peugeot 308 RC Z – getting close
Peugeot revealed their 308 RC Z Concept at the Frankfurt Motor Show back in 2007. But despite being spotted from time to time out testing it hasn’t seemed to get any closer to production. But that looks set to change going off these latest spy shots, which show the RC Z little changed from the […]
Gemballa Mirage GT Matt
Yep, it’s yet another in the list of modified Porsche Carrera GTs from Porsche specialist Gemballa. This time it’s another Mirage GT – the Matt Edition. I’ve said it before, but there has to come a point when Gemballa run out of Porsche Carrera GTs to play with. Only 1270 Carrera GTs were ever made, […]
GTbyCitroen does London
I suppose we shouldn’t be surprised when news stories on cars, particularly new cars, seem to come one on top of another. After all, for the majority of stories the car maker is building up an appetite for the new car, so wants to keep feeding stuff out. And so it has been lately with […]
Vauxhall Insignia VXR – UK Debut at Goodwood
The Vauxhall Insignia VXR gets launched on an expectant public in July, and as a prelude to that Vauxhall are taking the VXR to the Goodwood Festival of Speed for its first UK public outing. The Vauxhall Insignia VXR was revealed in April as a 325bhp version of the very good Insignia. Featuring adaptive four […]
Top Gear Stig is Michael Schumacher – the Update
It is nice to be ahead of the game. We received umpteen emails after we ran a story last week about Top Gear revealing the identity of the Stig as Michael Schumacher in the opening episode of the new series. It is astonishing how much people love the show (but we include ourselves in that). […]
Fiat 500C Convertible – The Video
The first UK Fiat 500s arrive this week, ready for the launch, and that has no doubt inspired Fiat to send us a set of three short videos of the 500C, which we’ve strung together for you at the end. Apart from a few decent days, Summer hasn’t really got under way in the UK. […]
Rolls Royce Ghost – the Configurator
Things are certainly moving at a quicker pace with the Rolls Royce Ghost now it’s getting close to its official production reveal at Frankfurt in September (although the lucky few will see the RR Ghost unveiled in Cannes on July 2nd). We’ve seen a few virtually undisguised Ghosts recently (the best of which is above) […]
