Rated 3.5 out of 5

Ben Pulman, 05 July 2008 00:00

This is BMW’s fifth-generation 7-series, and despite looks inspired by the Concept CS, if we’re honest the new car doesn’t look much different from the old car. Worry not though, as there are plenty of technical highlights to surprise and delight. Rear-wheel steer, Efficient Dynamics technology, night-vision, unrestricted internet access, a revised iDrive system and an all-new 3.0-litre diesel engine ...

Mercedes GLK unveiled in Beijing

Rated 3 out of 5

Guy Bird, 21 April 2008 17:34

Feedback on the forthcoming Mercedes GLK has been mixed to say the least. The final production version at the Beijing motor show is – as predicted – little changed and still ugly, especially in the side profile.

Rated 2.5 out of 5

Ben Whitworth, 04 March 2008 14:08

Mercedes CLS facelift

Rated 2.5 out of 5

Tim Pollard, 18 January 2008 15:58

Merc has revised the unfaceliftable: the CLS four-door. Four years after launch, the unusual coupe/saloon gets a freshen-up and a new cheaper entry model – but it’s not coming to the UK. Not that the CLS looks very different. The radiator grille has been tweaked and now has – count ’em – two bars instead of four. Big deal. The ...
