The Detroit motor show 2010 review, by Gavin Green

Rated 3 out of 53

Gavin Green, 12 January 2010 10:30

Motown may not have rediscovered its mojo but at least the car makers formerly known as the Big Three have regained a little bit of their old swagger since the misery of last year’s Detroit show. After all, it’s not every year that two out of three national car makers go bankrupt. The survivor, Ford, unsurprisingly looked the most confident ...

Lexus at the Paris motor show 2008

Lexus at the Paris motor show 2008

A coupe/cabriolet version of the appealing IS250 was Lexus’s highlight at Paris. Its three-piece folding metal roof completes its gymnastics in just 20 seconds before folding flat in the cavernous boot. All very well, but the ugly rear end totally undermines any showroom appeal. Tell me more about the Lexus IS250C It further expands the range of Lexus’s 3-series rival, ...

Toyota at the Paris motor show 2008

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Toyota showed the latest, third-generation Avensis, a car that typically whips up as much excitement from car enthusiasts as the Eurovision Song Contest does with music aficionados. The Avensis is one of those cars that typically provides loyal service to company car reps before naturally seeing out as its days as a minicab, pine scent dangling from rear-view mirror. The ...

Ford Ka at the Paris motor show 2008

Rated 3 out of 53

Ford’s latest Ka – high style meets low cost – makes its bow at the Paris show. It’s a funky little thing based on the Fiat 500/Panda, and built in the same Polish factory. It dials up driving brio and youthful appeal compared with the industrial Panda and the mature chic of the 500 and will likely follow its successful ...

Kia at the London motor show 2008

Kia at the London motor show 2008

Rated 4.5 out of 54.5

Expansionist Kia shows no sign of slowing down its forays into the European car market – and the London show provides more evidence of what's to come from the Koreans. What’s new on Kia's London motor show stand?  Nothing. But the Kia people are proffering photos of the new production Soul, set to make its show debut at Paris in ...

Honda Accord at Geneva

Honda Accord at Geneva

Rated 3 out of 53

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, ...

Nissan NV200, Intima, and Round Box

Nissan NV200, Intima, and Round Box

Rated 2 out of 52

So what else did Nissan have at Tokyo beyond the GT-R and Pivo2? Three other concepts, the best of which was the NV200 van, designed in Nissan’s London design centre. It’s a van just as useful for leisure as business. It’s out of the box thinking – literally. The rear loadbay contains a giant pod – Thunderbird 2 like – ...

Nissan Pivo 2

Rated 3 out of 53

Gavin Green, 25 October 2007 02:40

Haven’t we seen this weird Pivo before? We have. Two years ago, Nissan showed the first Pivo, an urban car that features some clever tech specially designed for the challenges of the city jungle. Pivo 2 takes the concept on a stage, improving battery technology and the electric engines, and adding a weird robot interface. Now you have a robot ...

Toyota i-Real

Toyota i-Real

Rated 2 out of 52

It looks like an electric wheelchair… is Toyota for real with this? Toyota is serious. Deadly serious. As traffic gets worse, so personal mobility vehicles like the i-Real start to make sense. The three-wheel i-Real is Toyota’s new take on single-seat urban commuting – call it a Segway with a seat, or a motorised trike – and it’s the follow-up from ...

Nissan X-Trail

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Gavin Green, 08 March 2007 11:39

So, a brand new Nissan X-Trail. Or is it? It doesn’t look any different… Yes, it’s new – new body, new platform and some new engines. The only thing not different is the exterior style. Nissan is the latest in a line of manufacturers – the Mini Mk2 being the most recent – that has totally redesigned its car. And ...
