How to beat the crunch, Aston Martin style...

It seems someone at Aston Martin hasn’t been told there’s a credit crunch.

Audi RS6 is sporty...but not thirsty

LET'S talk about the number six – or, more precisely, the new Audi RS6. After the huge success of its supercar-eating RS6 Avant estate earlier this year, Audi has now followed it up with the introduction of this four-door saloon version.

Fast and furious

WITH all the publicity surrounding the forthcoming Ford Focus RS, it has been easy to forget about the ST.

Audi off-roader goes to top of the class

Audi has been busy breaking records in 2008. Already well on its way to making a million cars this year, that follows hot on the tracks of the German firm breaking into six figure sales for the first time in the UK in 2007 – 100,864 to be exact.

Mitsubishi Lancer: Sporty and Speedy

Mitsubishi’s Evo is something of a legend among rally drivers. However, the humble Lancer four-door saloon it’s based upon has always sold in small numbers in Britain, mainly as British buyers tend to prefer any sub-£16,000 cars to be hatchbacks rather than saloons.

Announcing Ford’s new baby Ka – a rival for its Fiat twin

KAN you beat this, Fiat?

Bravo for Fiat's eco-drive

THE NEAR vertical trajectory of diesel pump prices in the past few months has led many to question the sense in buying a non-petrol- powered car.

Take speed control and power to the big time

The new Bentley Continental Flying Spur Speed is the most powerful four-door saloon ever produced in the British firm’s 89-year history.

New Accord challenges the big boys

HONDA can claim more technological leaps in design than any other maker.

Porsche sees the green light

If you were making a list of what not to do in the middle of a fuel crisis, launching a sports car would surely be somewhere near the top.

Beeping car horns make Brits see red

Rule 92 of the Highway Code says that motorists should use their car horn only while their vehicle is moving and to warn other road users of their presence.

Volvo V70 has plenty of room to manoeuvre

ARE ESTATE cars out of fashion?

Focus is on RS for year's hottest hatch

IT’S GREEN, lean and very, very mean.

Eco-Merc may be left at the starting post

FACELIFTS on cars are seldom big news, but Mercedes’s latest A-Class is an exception.

A shifting Focus

IT USED to be easy. If you were buying a new car and didn’t want to change gear yourself, you bought an automatic.

Sciroccp blows back in but fails to deliver

When it comes to ideas for new cars, it seems nothing is as good as an old one.

Small boot and not much welly

AMONG other things, the name of Citroen has long been intertwined in the car industry with estate cars.

A coupe that won't punish at the pump

Rising fuel costs, falling house prices, the credit crunch, taxes on car emissions – it’s probably not the ideal moment to consider a frivolous sports coupé.

Vantage cranks up the power struggle

No, you’re not imagining things, this is the new V8 Vantage from Aston Martin, despite the fact that it looks all but identical to the old one.

Fiat’s mini takes fun to the max

BACK in January, it sounded like an overly boastful claim – as Fiat introduced the new baby 500 into its showrooms it was confidently predicting that around 18,000 of them would be sold in Britain alone by the time Big Ben was ringing out 2008.

A BMW unlike any other...

Once upon a time, when small boys saw a new car, they’d ask: “What’ll it do, mister?” But with BMW’s X6, a more appropriate question might be: “What is it, mister?”

Top marks for BMW topless wonder

IT MAY have a prestigious badge but £57,350 is an awful lot of money to pay for a BMW 3-Series, even if it is the new M3 Convertible.

Koleos in the comfort zone

It looks as though Renault has been learning from Eighties TV. Back then, if you were in trouble you could call the A-Team and that is pretty much what Renault has done with its new Koleos.
