BMW 750iL (2009) CAR review

Greg Fountain, 05 January 2009 09:00

This is the BMW 7-series for people who think a 740i is a bit slack. And also for people who think the 740i is a bit too short. If you happen to be a chauffeur or a chauffeur’s employer the prospect of 140 extra millimetres of legroom in the back is no doubt deal-breakingly exciting, but for the rest of ...

VW Touareg R50 CAR review

Tim Pollard, 08 August 2008 00:00

A bit of a conundrum, this. How can a 2.6-tonne 4x4 put the Sport back into SUV? Volkswagen reckons the R50 Touareg is the answer – a tweaked-up version of its luxury 4x4. Except here, the emphasis is firmly on sporting luxury rather than pampering outright. It's telling they've picked the diesel version for the range-topper. The R50 is based ...

BMW M5 CAR review

Ben Barry, 29 July 2008 13:05

The E60 BMW M5 is the fourth-generation M5 and, at £65,890, the third-most expensive car in the M-Division range – sitting below the M6 Coupe/Convertible but above the M3 Coupe/Saloon/Convertible and M Coupe/Roadster. How does it drive? Brilliantly. It’s comfortable, extremely fast and sure-footed but playful. If anything lets it down, it’s the unnecessary gadgetry – but we’ll get to that later. ...

BMW M5 Touring CAR review

Anonymous, 08 August 2007 11:22

An M5 with a massive boot - sounds win-win to me. It is, almost. The anomalous M5 Touring is M-division chalk to the M6 convertible's cheese. Both have the same 500bhp V10, yet that the M5 looks absolutely stunning and completely purposeful only serves to emphasise the M6's excesses. But the touring is not perfect, suffering from exactly the same ...

Mercedes GL420 CDI CAR review

Anonymous, 26 September 2006 10:21

Another over-inflated luxury 4x4? Fair point. There is a whiff of Groundhog Day about the GL-Class but with seven seats, a host of new engines and comfort to match a luxury saloon, it could be worth sticking around for. In a nutshell, the GL-Class aims to be the biggest, most spacious and most luxurious SUV on the market, eating Audi ...

Jaguar XK8 Coupe CAR review

Anonymous, 21 July 2006 07:10

Jag XK? Looks like a re-badged Aston DB9 to me! You're excused. The new XK is the work of Ian Callum, the man responsible for DBs 7 and 9. After a slightly acrimonious departure from Gaydon he decided to make the best-looking Jag coupe he could. There wasn't much wrong with the old XK - not in 1996 at least. ...
