The current Jaguar XJ is very close to the end of its life. A great car, but one that never captured the hearts and minds of today’s luxury car buyer to the degree Jaguar would like. And much of that revolves around the perception of Jaguars as ‘Old Man Cars’. And although one of the […]

New Vauxhall Astra – the Race
It’s a couple of months since Vauxhall released details of the New Vauxhall Astra, and they are now starting to gear up interest for the launch in September at the Frankfurt Motor Show, before the Astra gets released in the UK in October. This sixth generation of the Astra is a good looking car, and […]
Skoda Fabia Scout – UK Launch
Skoda brought us a preview of the Fabia Scout at the Geneva Motor Show this year, and have announced that the car is now up for grabs in the UK. We were a little underwhelmed when the Skoda Fabia Scout was revealed, and we really haven’t changed our minds. We can’t argue that Skodas […]
Jaguar Hybrid Confirmed
We already knew back in April that Jaguar and Land Rover were working on Hybrid technologies, after they got a £300 million loan from the EIB to help push forward their ‘Green’ credentials. But Jaguar’s Chief Engineer – Kevin Stride – has revealed more about their plans, and taken a swipe at Lexus Hybrids in […]
Audi A5 Sportback – first official picture
Here we go again – more tease from a car maker. This time it’s Audi’s turn, with the first official picture of the soon to be revealed Audi A5 Sportback. And it’s such a shock – we’d never have guessed this is how it would look! The Audi A5 Sportback is Audi’s latest niche car […]
New Ford Mondeo ECOnetic announced
We only recently reviewed the Ford Fiesta ECOnetic and, apart from its low-rent trim, we found it to be a crackingly good car which, with a little effort, was capable of matching the headline economy figures. But we suggested that Ford would do well to launch the ECOnetic as an option across its range, rather […]
Fiat Bravo MSN launched
Yes, you read that right. Fiat has launched the Microsoft Fiat. Not a natural fit on the face of it, but I suppose it does illustrate the fact the Fiat has filled this limited edition Bravo with some new-tech widgets. Which all brings to mind that famous quote by Bill Gates – “If GM had […]
GTbyCitroen at Goodwood Festival of Speed – Confirmed
Last month we reported that Citroen’s Supercar-to-be – the GTbyCitroen Concept – was embarking on a European tour of high profile events, including Le Mans and the Goodwood Festival of Speed. We knew that it would be doing a parade lap at Le Mans, and we had heard rumours that it would be having a […]
Koenigsegg buys Saab – Confirmed
We’ve been running stories on the fate of Saab ever since GM’s trouble became apparent. First off it looked as if Fiat were at the head of the queue to take over Saab, but more recently we reported that Koenigsegg – the quirky Swedish Supercar maker – was in the running. That belief was compounded […]
Ford Ka 1.3 Zetec TDCi Photo Image Gallery
We recently Road Tested / Reviewed the Ford Ka 1.3 Zetec TDC and found it to be a bit of a compromise but it is, certainly from some angles, a funky little city car that brings the KA concept in to the 21st century. We took the opportunity while we had the new Ford KA to […]
