As car makers get more desperate to make sales, they are coming up with more and more to tempt the wary. Free financing, extended warranties and servicing and, in a couple of extreme examples, 2 for 1 offers. But Hyundai has come up with another offer to tempt the reluctant. As well as the big […]

2009 Nissan GT-R Review
Cars UK [rating:5.0] Car makers who produce mass-market cars dream of having a ‘halo’ car, a car which showcases the extreme abilities of the maker and gets accepted as a supercar in its own right. It’s a hard thing to pull off, and usually ends up as a great car, but with little or no […]
Now the Germans say no to Volvo
As we’ve reported in the last few weeks, Ford has been trying its best to offload Volvo, the last of its ‘Prestige’ Euro marques. The Chinese looked to be the best bet, but it seems that that is going nowhere at the moment (the Chinese are probably waiting for Ford to get in to an […]
Lotus planning Electric Car
I suppose it was inevitable that Lotus would not settle for simply supplying Tesla with the chassis for their electric car, and would look to jump on the bandwagon of electric cars (EV). Lotus CEO, Michael Kimberly, has told the Financial Times that Lotus is planning an electric car “sooner rather than later”, and went […]
2009 Hyundai i20 Review
Cars UK [rating:3.0] Hyundai has really made an impact in the UK Car market in recent years, despite its offerings until recently not really being up to European standards (with the exception of the Hyundai Coupe).

Bugatti Type 57S Atalante found in a barn

Daihatsu Terios – cheap as chips motoring
As my Dad was fond of saying, you don’t get ought for nowt, but it’s starting to be a close run thing with the Daihatsu Terios. The Daihatus Terios is an odd little car/suv, but it does have real appeal. Sure, it looks like it’s been on a boil-wash and come at at 2/3rds the […]
Mercedes CLS Grand Edition
The CLS has been with us for 5 years now, and has been a real success story for Mercedes. It really started the trend for 4-door coupes, and its success has made this a really busy niche of late – VW Passat, Aston Martin Rapide, Porsche Panamera and the soon to be reality Audi A7, […]
Lexus LF-A still on the cards
With the car world in turmoil, and buyers running scared of high performance cars, most of the car makers around the world are shelving their high-end projects until things settle down. Honda has announced that it has put its NSX replacement on ice (although it is apparently still going to show it at Detroit) and […]
