| This month CAR Magazine is bursting with the most exciting cars of 2008. We have the full story on Land Rover's premium small crossover, the intriguing new LRX concept, and we drive Jaguar's excellent new XF. Plus our selection of the ten most important cars of the year ahead - including the lowdown on Ford's Focus RS, and everything from the next Fiesta to the new front-engined Ferrari. Elsewhere, we're first to drive Infiniti's new coupe in Europe, read our exclusive interview with the legendary Ari Vatanen, follow our drive of a Smart through Mexico City, and meet Ford's chassis guru Richard Parry-Jones. |
|
| Chris Chilton drives the new supercharged XF SV8. Can this bold new design replace the S-type and close the gap to the Germans? We deliver the definitive verdict from Arizona on the saloon that will shape Jaguar’s future. |
|
| CAR has the lowdown on the next hot Ford. Our detailed images and inside knowledge reveal the RS in all its halo-car glory. Think aggressive looks, and enough power and trickery to give the Evo X and STi sleepless nights. |
|
| Ben Oliver has the ignominious challenge of driving a small Smart through one of the world’s biggest cities. As well as dodging 20 million pedestrians, he also tries to avoid being one of the 100 people robbed every day on the roads of Mexico City. |
|
| The former WRC champ and Pikes Peak record holder has turned politician. We catch up with the MEP in Brussels and talk about transport policy – and motorsport memories. |
|
| Tim Pollard is the first journalist to drive the Infiniti G37 coupe in Europe. Can it really beat a 3-series? And does this fledgling brand stand any chance of competing in 2008? We investigate Infiniti’s Swiss HQ. |
|
| A great leap forward with the XF, a stunning concept with the LRX, but the sale of Jaguar/Land Rover is nearly complete. We tell you why Ford is doing the wrong thing by selling off two great luxury brands. |
|
| Richard Parry Jones interview |
| On the eve of his retirement, we meet the man who made Fords fun to drive again. Find out how one man turned around the Blue Oval’s cars. |
