Audi A8 4.2 TDI SE (2010) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Georg Kacher, 18 February 2010 09:00

I didn’t realise Audi was doing a long-wheelbase A4. Is there no niche left unexplored? A4? This is the new 2010 Audi A8, Ingolstadt’s technological flagship, a limo built around a supercar-style aluminium spaceframe and boasting the sort of toys that would make Inspector Gadget envious (and owners thankful that Lucas doesn’t do Audi’s electrics). But it’s an easy mistake ...

VW Bluesport concept (2009) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Georg Kacher, 23 June 2009 11:30

Since its launch 20 years ago the Mazda MX-5 has effectively ruled a class of one, but, finally, two decades on, it may have a challenger. At the start of 2009 at the Detroit motor show, VW unveiled the Bluesport concept, a two-seat mid-engined roadster that’s scheduled to go on sale in early 2012 for around £20k. What's more, the concept ...

Audi R8 V12 TDI Concept (2008) driven CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Georg Kacher, 10 April 2008 10:43

Does the world need the Audi R8 V12 TDI, a supercar powered by diesel? We love the regular Audi R8. It’s our 2007 performance car of the year, with sublime steering that belies its Ingolstadt roots, and one of the best gearboxes around. That high-revving 4.2-litre V8 sounds wonderful and the quattro system juggles all-weather security with rear bias for ...

Citroen C5 2.0 HDi (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Georg Kacher, 11 February 2008 09:28

Citroen caused a stir when it unveiled the new C5. This is a class where Renault admits to making the Laguna purposively conservative. Where Citroen’s sister company Peugeot makes the middle-of-the-road 407. So when the covers came off the C5 we were impressed. And so were CAR readers, who've on the whole praised the new look. Is Citroen finally on a ...

VW Tiguan 2.0 TDi (2007) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Georg Kacher, 24 September 2007 01:38

Why is VW so late to the 4x4 party? Blame management, complicated model cycles and just about every other excuse under the sun. And speaking of the sun, those countries from the land of the rising sun have been doing the medium-sized 4x4 thing since the mid-1990s. Toyota launched the Rav4 over a decade ago, let's not forget. Only this ...

VW Golf Estate 2.0 TDi (2007) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Georg Kacher, 11 May 2007 06:22

Volkswagen took their time unleashing this handsome devil Yes, the previous VW management dithered, discussed and delayed the project until it was almost past its sell-by date. In July 2007, two full years behind the original schedule, the third-generation Golf Variant will finally appear in right-hand drive form. “Initially, we thought that the Touran and the Golf plus could together ...
