Dacia Duster polishes up for Geneva
OK, I’m sorry. The pun was hard to resist. And if you’re going to call your car the Dacia Duster, what do you expect?! Anyway, lots of you may not even have heard of the Dacia, much less the Duster, or it may just ring a faint bell as one of those Eastern European brands. […]
Opel Ampera – Official picture ahead of Geneva
GM really needs the Chevy Volt/Opel Ampera to be well received. The problem is that the technology for the car doesn’t even exist yet, unless of course GM have made huge strides they’re about to reveal when the car gets fully unveiled at Geneva ’09 tomorrow. But it’s not a proper reveal, in the sense […]
McLaren F1 creator Murray’s T25 ready to go
Gordon Murray is the genius behind the legendary McLaren F1 supercar. So what he does needs to be taken seriously. That includes the Caparo T1, which is a super-light racer for the roads, but also includes the last thing you would think of – a super-small, lightweight and above all cheap car. But that’s what […]

Blimey, there’s been some real speculation over the fate of the Honda F1 team since Honda revealed it had decided, for financial reasons, to withdraw from F1 with immediate effect. We’ve had Prodrive/Aston Martin boss David Richards firmly in the frame, followed closely by a Mexican billionaire called Slim with a Senna in his pocket! […]
Jaguar and Land Rover’s Big Chinese Takeaway
As we are only too well aware, car makers are having the most torrid of times. Massive drops in car sales in the UK (at least in new cars – UK used car sales are actually rising) means car makers’ cashflows are horrific. But it looks like there’s a white knight on the horizon for […]
Bentley slaps on a 5 per cent price hike for UK Cars
I’m sure all us Brits still think of Bentley as a good old British Car Producer. But when we pause and think we remember that they are in fact part of VW, and therefore very much a European car maker. Which explains why, despite the cars being bolted together here, Bentley feels the need to […]
Volvo S80 gets a nip & tuck for 2009
The Volvo S80 is now three years old, and Volvo has decided to spruce it up a bit for the current year. Volvo has played around with the nose and body on the S80, to give a lower, wider perspective. The new nose incorporates details similar to the XC60, declaring Volvo’s intention of a family […]
