Smart has been trialing its Smart EV for the last couple of years in the UK, with customers paying £375 per month for the joy of being a guinea pig for the little city car in electric form. Which actually seems like a huge amount of money to me, especially considering the benefits for Mercedes […]

Red Bull 1-2 at Silverstone
I guess it was too much to ask that Brawn GP should duplicate their form so far this year at their home Grand Prix. Was the pressure too much? Probably that played a small part, but the real key was the astonishing performance of the Red Bulls. Red Bull brought a newly upgraded car to […]
Honda Civic Type R – Mugen steps in
The old Honda Civic Type R was a really cracking hot-hatch. Not only did it handle well (even if it did have the habit of playing on three wheels if pushed), it went well and it was, as you would expect from a Honda, very well bolted together. But the latest version of the Type […]
Hyundai – Top of the Scrappage heap
I don’t think it took a genius to work out that it would be the manufacturers of small, cheap and economical cars that would be the big winners in the Scrappage Wars. After all, if you’re going to get a £2,000 discount on a new car, £2k is a huge chunk of a £7k car, […]
Mercedes G-Class Updated
The Mercedes G-Class is not exactly one of Mercedes’ front-line models. But it is iconic and has been with us since the ’70s. Which means the G-Class is now 30 years old, and to celebrate Mercedes has decided to add a few nips and tucks to the venerable 4×4. Don’t get too excited, though. These […]
Citroen DS4 & Citroen DS5 – the Crossovers
Update 12/2/2010: Citroen has now revealed the DS 4 in concept form as the Citroen DS High rider Concept. The publicity for the push by Citroen for a more up-market position in car buyers minds started in earnest when details of the Citroen DS Inside Concept were first revealed back in February. That was […]
Top Gear reveals the Stig as – Michael Schumacher!
A new series of Top Gear is due to start in the UK on Sunday, and it looks like the TG team are starting the hype to get things moving. We soon get used to there be nothing much worth a watch on TV on Sunday evenings, and I know we usually end up trying […]
Porsche Panamera – Promo Video
Things have gone a little quiet on the Porsche Panamera front recently. After an understandable plethora of news and stories on the Panamera around reveal time at Shanghai, Porsche hasn’t had much to say on the car. But with the first Panameras getting out on the road, and the Porsche Panamera launching in the UK […]
Ford Kuga Coupe planned?
The Ford Kuga is a great little 4×4. It offers all that most people want in a small crossover/SAV car and does it in a good package with great looks. But Ford are obviously looking with interest at the ‘Style’ element of the market place. As people are downsizing in the current recession there are […]
New Toyota iQ3 launched
The Toyota iQ3 (known as the iQ cubed) is Toyota’s Smart Car competitor. And until now it didn’t exactly get up and go (although I suppose that’s not really the point of a little city car like this) but Toyota has now improved things significantly by introducing the Toyota iQ3. The Toyota iQ3 gets Toyota’s […]
