Th!nk City (2009) electric CAR review

3.5

James Foxall, 25 August 2009 10:53

Bespoke electric cars like the Th!nk City that don’t look like they’re on the run from the local golf course are thin on the ground. The Norwegian battery car specialist is keen to ensure electric derivatives of regular cars such as the Mitsubishi i-MIEV and Mini E don’t have it all their own way by tapping into buyers who’re put ...

Suzuki Grand Vitara 2.4 (2008) CAR review

2.5

James Foxall, 29 September 2008 14:00

Twenty years ago you probably didn’t imagine the Suzuki Vitara to be a ground breaker. But it was. The little 4x4 was the first small Sports Utility Vehicle and as such created a sector in the market that every major car maker would want to join. You’ve got to feel for ’em. Two decades on and Suzuki still makes its ...

Renault Laguna Sport Tourer 2.0 dCi 175 Dynamique S (2008) CAR review

James Foxall, 15 January 2008 16:37

Renault’s new Laguna hasn’t impressed us yet. Purposively conservative looks, a slightly cramped interior, and a drive that can’t touch that of the Mondeo all count against it. But maybe the Sport Tourer (nee estate) can do better. It’s clearly a ‘lifestyle’ car with a steeply raked almost hatchback like rear window. But to these eyes it’s definitely smarter to ...

Chrysler Grand Voyager TD (2008) CAR review

James Foxall, 13 November 2007 07:42

Is this an all-new model then? Yes. Chrysler has lengthened the wheelbase and claims to have made at least 30 major improvements to its popular people carrier. The most important of these is a comfier, more supple ride and better refinement. The newly independent firm has also worked hard at making the Grand Voyager even more family-friendly. The highlight of ...

Suzuki Splash 1.2 (2007) CAR review

2.5

James Foxall, 26 October 2007 05:08

It looks quite small. Where will the Splash sit in Suzuki’s range? It’s a replacement for the unloved and unlovable Wagon R+ and built on the underpinnings of the current Swift. It’s the same size as the Swift but it’s been designed to appeal to a slightly more conservative (read older and more sensible) bunch of buyers so it’ll be ...

Kia Kee concept (2007) CAR review

James Foxall, 22 October 2007 10:13

This Kia’s called the Kee. Is it the key to a bright future? If you talk to the firm’s design chief Peter Schreyer it is. That grille is the future look of all Kias. He wants the company’s cars to be instantly recognisable from 100 metres away, rather like BMWs or Audis are. And he believes the Kee’s front end ...

Ford Airstream concept (2007) CAR review

2.5

James Foxall, 17 July 2007 08:32

Airstream. Isn’t that an American caravan? Indeed it is. The sort that even people who hate caravans have to admit looks quite cool. Ford decided they represented the ultimate American journey so it designed a car version and this is it. In the metal – or rather fibreglass as this is a concept car – it’s stunning. That silver paintwork ...

Kia Exceed Cabrio (2007) concept CAR review

James Foxall, 10 July 2007 09:15

Sexy car from Kia shock! That’s right. When Peter Schreyer (who oversaw the design of the original Audi TT and new Beetle in his time at the VW group) took over as head of design for the Koreans he identified correctly that the firm needed a halo car - essentially a Kia that would turn people on. Well, this is ...

Peugeot 207 SW Outdoor (2007) CAR review

3.5

James Foxall, 15 May 2007 03:50

Superminis From its name I’m guessing this is a successor to the 206 SW Exactly right. Making an estate version of a supermini might not be a popular pastime for many car companies but Peugeot obviously sees something more than just a challenge in it. The French firm prides itself on offering an estate version of every major model in ...

Jeep Wrangler 3.8 (2006) CAR review

James Foxall, 30 August 2006 11:05

Jeep's most agricultural model looks the same as ever. Has anything changed? Jeep's design boffins confusingly tell you that the new Wrangler is exactly the same but totally different to the previous model. In translation, that means it looks much the same as the model they derived from the war-time Willys Jeep, and it shares the same rugged utilitarian principles. ...
