Rated 3.5 out of 5

Ben Pulman, 14 August 2008 11:06

These are the first pictures of Vauxhall’s third Insignia model, the estate. But estates are boring and dull, so Vauxhall has dubbed this the Sports Tourer, not to be confused with Renault’s Sport Tourer. The Sports Tourer will debut at this autumn's Paris motor show and come with a choice of seven engines and the option of front- or four-wheel ...

Honda Accord at Geneva

Rated 3 out of 5

Gavin Green, 04 March 2008 20:09

What’s new on the Honda stand? The big news is the all-new Accord. This is the eighth generation of Honda’s Mondeo. Trouble is, try as it might, Honda has never managed to tickle the taste buds of the BMW/Audi set with the anodyne Accord. It’s always been regarded more as a fleet car than a fleet-footed car. This new model, ...

Peugeot 308 SW

Rated 3.5 out of 5

Tim Pollard, 04 March 2008 20:03

So what's new on Peugeot's Geneva Motor Show stand? Not a gala show by Peugeot's standards, if we're being honest. The biggest news on the stand today was the arrival of the 308 SW - a single replacement for two models. This time around, Peugeot isn't distinguishing between the estate and the SW people carrier. Instead, it's launching just the ...

So what’s new on Citroen’s Geneva Motor Show stand? Citroen has gone in big with its new C5 Touring estate, which arrives in the UK in June, two months after the saloon’s debut.

Subaru Forester (2009)

Rated 3 out of 5

Phil McNamara, 27 December 2007 14:50

This is Subaru's all-new Forester estate, set to be unveiled at January's Detroit motor show. Devoted fans won't be disappointed, because the 2009 model year Forester dogmatically sticks to the Forester formula: a jacked up, four-wheel drive wagon, but with a newish look, more refinement and improved safety levels, says Subaru. I see why you're calling it a newISH look... Today's boxy, oldschool Volvo-look makes way ...
