Cadillac CTS 3.6 V6 (2007) CAR review

3.5

Richard Aucock, 07 November 2007 09:48

What’s this? A Cadillac I like the look of? What’s going on? Strange things indeed. Oh-so-US Cadillac has long spoken of being a BMW alternative, offering look-at-me impact for less shy and retiring types. But while the Art & Science styling theme had plenty of drama on the 1999 Evoq concept car, it’s always appeared a bit like cheap Christmas ...

BMW 123d Coupe M Sport (2008) CAR review

3.5

Richard Aucock, 29 October 2007 03:28

We quite liked the BMW 135i, but the bulk of the 1-series Coupe sales will be diesel. How times change. The 120d boasts 177bhp (to think we thought a 1990s 325i, with 170bhp, was fast) but it’s the range-topper that’s the most interesting. The 123d, benefiting from BMW’s sequential twin turbo technology already seen on the 535d, boosts this 2.0-litre four ...

BMW 135i Coupe (2007) CAR review

3.5

Ben Whitworth, 21 October 2007 12:01

So, is this the ‘One’ that everyone has been waiting for? Very good. The thought of a small, highly focused BMW, with the full M Sport works, powered by one of the finest engines on sale has certainly had us salivating. Shoehorned into the 135i’s engine bay is the same 3.0-litre twin-turbo straight six found in the 335i. It develops ...

Renault Laguna Coupe concept (2007) CAR review

CJ Hubbard, 19 October 2007 10:15

Ooo, shiny. What is this fine-looking thing? This is – are you ready? – a Renault. Yes, honestly. The company that currently specialises in boring family carry-alls and hardcore hot hatches has actually turned out something sexy. It's the Laguna Coupe Concept, a debutante show car at last month's Frankfurt Motor Show. And we've just driven it. Alongside its swoopy, ...

Audi A4 3.2 Quattro (2007) CAR review

3.5

Peter Burgess, 08 October 2007 01:53

This new Audi A4, it looks classier than before... Audi has moved its game on, as indeed it had to. With squarer proportions than the ubiquitous 3-series, this forthcoming A4 looks decidedly more imposing on the road. There’s a considerably longer wheelbase – look at that BMW-esque front-wheel-in-the-front-corner stance. In turn, that pushes the engines further behind the front axle ...

Renault Laguna Active (2007) Drive CAR review

4.5

Richard Aucock, 14 September 2007 10:50

What’s all this then? A Laguna with the agility of a Porsche Boxster. Through a slalom, it will turn in instantly, change direction with comparable speed – but not hint at the dreaded pendulum. Your hands will have steered just one, crisp input, and been met with firm, accurate response. How do we know? Renault laid on the comparison for ...

Citroen C6 2.2 HDi (2007) CAR review

3.5

Ben Pulman, 23 August 2007 11:52

A big Citroen saloon? Surely they’ve learnt by now that these don’t sell... Apparently not, but when you have a heritage as rich and idiosyncratic as the DS, SM and CX then perhaps you’ll never learn. Then again, economies of scale with sister company Peugeot’s 607 no doubt help as well, and if you don’t sell many, at least the ...

Mercedes C220 CDI Sport (2007) CAR review

2.5

Peter Burgess, 19 June 2007 10:59

It looks like there’s a major change going on here Certainly is. Gone are the smooth curves of the previous C-class, replaced with something far more edgy and, dare we say it, rather modern. The C-class is bigger all-round and crucially there’s another 45mm in the wheelbase and more shoulder room. That’s hardly a surprise. Passenger space has always been ...

Saab 9-3 1.9 TTiD 180 (2007) CAR review

Richard Aucock, 18 June 2007 03:02

How new is this 'new' 9-3? Saab has made 2157 changes in facelifting its 3-series rival, rendering the 9-3 almost completely distinct from its Vectra platform. Or so says Saab. The nose is the most striking aspect; it’s all-new from the A-pillars forward, and its clamshell bonnet and perma-lit ‘eyebrow’ headlight strips lend it some presence. The side profile has ...

Nissan 350Z (2007) CAR review

Peter Burgess, 10 May 2007 11:37

Nissan's new-for-2007 350Z is still a cracker The 2007 350Z looks the same as the old one, doesn’t it? If you look carefully there’s a bulge in the bonnet and therein lies the story. The new-for-2007 350Z gets an engine that’s 80% new – and 8mm higher. Hence the purposeful swelling on the bonnet. The charismatic 3.5-litre V6 gets longer ...
