The interweb is a mine of information, much of it less than convincing, but you can be sure that there is little under the sun that won’t find its way there. And so it is with what certainly appear to be real images of the 2010 Mercedes E-Class. There have been spy shots of the […]

Mazda MX-5 gets a spruce up
The Mazda MX-5 is one of our favourite fun cars. It evokes all the joy of the cracking little British Roadsters of the past, like Austin Healeys, Triumph TRs, Lotus Elans and even older Morgans and XK Jags. It does it by being simple, efficient and fun to drive. It has just the right balance […]
Ferrari sales drop off a cliff
And there’s us thinking Ferrari was immune to the chaos that’s beset car makers all over the world. It’s been revealed that Ferrari’s sales in November dropped by a colossal 85% to just 92 cars, from a normal monthly production of around 600. How can this be? Surely, Ferrari has a 2-year waiting list on […]
2009 Nissan GT-R upgrades confirmed
We’ve been seeing quite a lot of guess work and speculation lately about 2009 changes to the supercar killer that is the Nissan GT-R. And all this before the UK even gets its first car. The most speculated upon change, and one that has been confirmed, is the deletion of launch control from the spec […]
Essex is home to a Brand New E-Type Jaguar
Ray Parrott, an Essex haulier and E-Type fanatic, has created the last ever authentic E-Type Jaguar from a collection of spare parts that has been gathering dust in a garage since 1974, when the last E-Type rolled off the production line at Browns Lane. Ray was contacted by Mike Wilkinson of M & C Wilkinson […]
BMW announces 2009 7 Series Diesel
BMW has announced that it will, as expected, be launching the diesel version of the 2009 7 Series next year. This is in addition to the two petrol engined models already scheduled. Even at this luxury end of the market, the diesel engine has become a must-have for car makers. Despite the fact that there […]
Volvo could be heading East
Actually, it could be going absolutely anywhere a bid can be found. As we reported last week, Ford is trying desperately to unload its last remaining prestige marque – Volvo. And, as we thought, the disposal of Volvo by Ford is said to be a condition of the help that Ford, along with the other […]
2009 Audi Q5 Review
Cars UK [rating:4.5] As with the Q7, Audi is a little late to the party with its new mid-size 4×4 SUV, the Audi Q5. The Q5 is aimed in the sights of the BMW X3, although it is arguable that it will take sales from not just the mid range 4x4s, but also a number […]
Mercedes SLA Roadster looks likely
As car manufacturers start to look with fresh eyes at smaller, cheaper cars, reports from Germany confirm that Mercedes is close to committing to the SLA, a small Roadster to be based on the next generation A-Class platform. The original SLA concept was shown at Detroit in 2000, and aimed to slot in beneath the […]
UK Motorways hit the big 50
It’s hard to imagine travelling round the UK, or any other country for that matter, without Motorways. Circumventing London on the M25, much as we complain, is infinitely better than using the North and South Circular roads used to be. London to Leeds is just a few hours and, despite the huge traffic problems on […]
