Hyundai Genesis 5.0 R (2012) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Hyundai Genesis 5.0 R (2012) CAR review, 15 February 2012 09:00

In the UK, we still think of Hyundais as being cheap little runabouts and, really, that’s true – a large number were shifted during the scrappage incentive, and you rarely see anything bigger than an i30 on our roads. These days we are getting a taste of more upmarket, sportier things from the Korean maker, including the impressive i40 and, ...

VW Phaeton 3.0 V6 TDI SWB (2010) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Pulman, 14 December 2010 13:00

This is Volkswagen’s revised 2010 Phaeton, an updated version of the German car company’s luxurious limousine. The Phaeton, along with the (much more successful) Touareg, was key to VW Group overlord Ferdinand Piëch’s plan to move the brand upmarket. A people’s car it ain’t, but then the Phaeton’s never had the kudos to compete head-on with BMW, Merc, Audi and ...

Infiniti M30d GT Premium (2010) CAR review

Rated 2 out of 52

Stephen Worthy, 22 November 2010 10:43

A couple of months after we first drove the new petrol-powered Infiniti M37, CAR has spent some time with the version that is expected to account for 55% of European sales for Infiniti’s executive saloon: the new M30d diesel. Only 55% of Infiniti M sales? That few? Sounds on the conservative side, doesn’t it? Especially as the only other version ...

Infiniti G37 Convertible (2009) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Greg Fountain, 27 November 2009 11:07

When you clear away the caveats, the G37 convertible is an expensive 3-series cabrio rival made in Japan. And for all the smoke and mirrors deployed by Nissan in the cause of inventing an upmarket brand for Europe with ambitions of Rolls-like exclusivity, it can only be judged against what’s out there. And what’s out there is the 3-series chop-top.  ...

Land Rover Discovery 4 TDV6 HSE (2010) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Glen Waddington, 11 August 2009 09:30

No, it’s not some blinged-up Chelsea tractor. Land Rover has treated the Discovery 4 (as it’s now called) to lots of body-coloured finishes where plain black once ruled, plus a restyled nose, twin wing vents and some cool LED lights front and rear. Doesn’t sound like much, considering Land Rover deems it worthy of a new suffix. But there’s more ...

Lexus IS 250C (2009) CAR review

Rated 2 out of 52

Nick Trott, 25 June 2009 11:02

Depending on your point of view, the new Lexus IS 250C is either very slinky and attractive and full of lovely designer-speak ‘arrowhead’ shapes – or it is an absolute ug. And we mean this literally. It’s quite telling that all the press shots for the IS 250C are shot from low-down; the point where the new car’s larger backside ...

Mercedes ML320 CDI Sport facelift (2008) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 28 October 2008 12:00

Huntsville, Alabama; where the back of every single neck is a dead ringer for 'Volcanic Splash 4' from the Dulux colour chart, where family trees have only one branch (‘yew kin divorce me, but yawl alwehs be mah sister…’) and where Mercedes took the ostensibly baffling decision to build the very first M-class back in 1997. Odd decision. After all, ...

VW Phaeton 3.0 V6 TDI (2008) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Glen Waddington, 19 May 2008 12:16

The Volkswagen Phaeton is overshadowed by the Audi A8 as VAG’s luxury car and, for some, that could be its allure. If you’re interested in space and comfort more than style and glamour, the Volkswagen Phaeton would save you nearly £8000. So tell me, is the Volkswagen Phaeton as dull as it looks? Fair enough, it’s not going to set ...

Mercedes CLS320 CDI facelift (2008) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Chris Chilton, 24 April 2008 10:01

It’s facelift time for Merc’s banana-shaped CLS, a coupe/saloon crossover based on the dull old E-class. It hasn’t been around for long so there are no big changes for this mid-life refresh, just minor cosmetic tweaks to keep it looking contemporary in a line-up of newer Benz products. So guide me through the headline stuff for the Mercedes CLS320 CDI ...

Mercedes GLK350 (2008) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Georg Kacher, 21 April 2008 09:43

It's been a long wait, but we've finally driven Mercedes' new junior off-roader, the GLK. And we can confidently say Stuttgart’s latest offering is an off-roader because CAR has been mud-plugging in the GLK - and beating its big brother M-class driven by Mercedes’ own instructors. Still, the GLK has to prove an awful lot if it’s to compete in ...
