Rated 3.5 out of 5

Hummer HX

Rated 3 out of 5

Ben Oliver, 15 January 2008 20:57

The Hummer HX concept was one of the surprise hits of this year’s Detroit  show. Penned by three young designers, it is pure concept-car madness. But it is also an admission by General Motors that Hummer needs to downsize if it is to survive. High fuel prices mean the brand is struggling in its home market, and the tough new ...

Rated 3.5 out of 5

Stephen Dobie, 15 January 2008 11:32

Ben Pulman, 10 January 2008 10:17

This is our first look at Saab's 9-4X - the car that kickstarts the brand's new model initiative. And although the 9-4X BioPower is labelled as a concept, the production car will look almost identical when it goes on sale in 2009.

Rated 3.5 out of 5

Ben Pulman, 04 January 2008 15:53

Hot on the heels of the V12 Vantage RS comes Aston Martin’s new race car. Based on the V8 Vantage road car, the aptly named Vantage GT2 will compete in the GT2 race category. Aston Martin is thus (rightly) very proud to offer a race car in every GT category. The DBR9 fills the GT1 category, the slightly less hardcore DBRS9 ...
