Rated 3 out of 53

Georg Kacher, 10 March 2013 00:01

Mercedes-Benz is plotting a supermini-sized rival for the Mini and Audi A1, CAR Online can reveal. Referred to internally as ‘X-class’ for now, the 4m-long crossover would be developed with Renault-Nissan for a 2018 launch. The need for a baby Benz is acute: Mercedes has nothing in the £12,000 to £19,000 bracket between Smart and A-class, a niche BMW will ...

Rated 3 out of 53

Update to this story added Friday 19 February 2010: we've just heard from our man at Jaguar that this is in fact an XF with wading gear attached. 'We fit the box when doing wading tests,' he tells us. 'It catches the water that comes into the air intakes and stops it going into the engine.' Problem solved, hands held ...

These are the first pictures of a very special Jaguar XKR. Caught testing in the UK, it’s thought to be a prototype of the production version of the Jaguar XKR Goodwood Special.

The new Jag F-type is revealed in full in the latest September 2009 issue of CAR Magazine, but we've held one artist's impression back to show online.

U-turn! VW's Up will be front-engined (2008)

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Phil McNamara, 19 July 2008 13:51

Shock news from Volkswagen: the Up city car and spiritual successor to the original Beetle will switch to a front engine/front-wheel drive layout, CAR can confirm. Despite the 2007 concept being rear-engined like the iconic 'people's car', VW suits have approved a switch to a front-mounted three-cylinder engine. 'For cost, design and aerodynamic reasons, we will probably have to put ...

Seat Ibiza SportCoupe (2008)

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Tim Pollard, 17 April 2008 06:38

Everyone's at it these days: passing off different bodystyles as new models in their own right. Seat is the latest to jump on the bandwagon - it will market the three-door Ibiza as the SportCoupe, hoping that the sexier tag rubs off on buyers. Make no mistake, it's really just a three-door supermini. We saw the five-door Ibiza a few ...

Rated 1.5 out of 51.5

Ben Pulman, 27 September 2007 06:00

BMW: the next five years BMW today held a press conference where it outlined what chairman Dr Norbert Reithofer called ‘a fundamental strategic realignment’ of the brand. It’s not as drastic as that sounds, but BMW is having a product shake-up to make sure it stays ahead of the game (read Audi on the warpath and a rejuvenated Mercedes). And ...

Audi R4 (2011)

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Georg Kacher, 29 June 2007 01:49

Audi to take on Porsche? Surely not... Yes, Porsche and Audi have struck a deal that will see them join forces to jointly develop the R4 – Audi’s entry-level sports coupe and roadster – and the next generation Boxster/Cayman. Audi’s plan is to have a four-strong line-up of R-cars: an R10 super coupe (based on the Le Mans-winning diesel-powered racer), ...

MG 7 coupe (2007)

Rated 3 out of 53

Tim Pollard, 06 June 2007 07:02

A coupe version of the MG7 – haven't we seen this before? Yes, if you cast your minds back to late 2004, when the MG Rover Group unveiled it wearing Rover badges. However, a lot of water has passed under the bridge since then, and in the meantime the sleek concept car has received a brand makeover as it stumbles ...
