Toyota are teasing the Toyota Prisu MPV – and other Prius – on Facebook with the tagline “The Prius family is getting a whole lot bigger” We reported back in May that Toyota were finally going to produce a Toyota Prius MPV – probably with an extra row of seats – in 2011. Which looks […]
Peugeot iOn – or free holidays in the Seychelles?
The Peugeot iOn will cost an eye-watering £498 a month to lease. Better to lease a Peugeot 107 and a free fortnight a year in the Seychelles I know, we moan on about the pointlessness of producing family-sized electric cars and pretending that they will suit a family’s needs in the real world. But we do say that producing small, city cars with electric bits under the bonnet does make […]
Hybrid sales drop off a cliff in the U.S.
Sales of hybrid cars in the US have dropped by more than 40% in the last year. Much to the astonishment of the world – well, us anyway – America seems to have fallen in love with the ‘Green Dream’, and has taken to Hybrid Cars – encouraged no doubt by celebs polishing their green […]
Citroen DS5 – First video tease?
Citroen has revealed a teaser video for a new concept at the Paris Motor Show in October. They don’t say what it is, but our money’s on the Citroen DS5 Concept. Despite our original scepticism (grumpy old man syndrome) that Citroen were intent on wrecking their history by cashing in on the DS tag – and badge engineering prosaic product […]

Range Rover Evoque Prototype Video
We have video of the Range Rover Evoque Prototypes running on track and leaving Land Rover to conquer ten cities around the world. Last week were were a little hasty and a little harsh. We got sent a set of photos of the Range Rover Evoque all dressed up in camouflage and ready to go […]
Evoque in disguise – we were a bit harsh!
We reported on a set of photos Land Rover sent us of the Evoque in disguise on Tuesday. We were a bit disparaging – and a bit unfair. We reported on Tuesday that Land Rover were busy teasing the new Range Rover Evoque by sending us an exclusive set of photos of a ‘Pack’ of […]
Range Rover Evoque Prototype Pack Playing
Land Rover has started the inevitable on-going tease for the Evoque. But it’s done it with pictures of the Evoque in disguise. Most odd. We’re not huge fans of the red-top alliteration in headlines. And I suppose the headline is a curate’s egg alliteration – alliterative in parts. But we have to play when there’s not a lot of […]
Range Rover Evoque & Victoria Beckham. Bad move?
Land Rover revealed the Ranger Rover Evoque last week and also the involvement of Victoria Beckham with the interior design. Good move? The Range Rover Evoque finally made its debut – of sorts – at a party at Kensington Palace last week to celebrate 40 years of Range Rover. I say ‘of sorts’ because we […]
