Rated 4 out of 5

Ben Pulman, 01 December 2008 16:36

Mad Max has been spotted in the Midlands. Heavily disguised beneath thick black plastic cladding, this futuristic-looking prototype is actually Jaguar’s new XJ mule. Snapped prowling around outside Jaguar’s Whitley R&D base, these pictures show the first XJ mule to wear production-ready bodywork. This new Jaguar XJ looks very low and swoopy… Indeed it does, and much more stylish than ...

Rated 4 out of 5

Ben Pulman, 13 November 2008 13:53

How do you replace a car as madcap as the Lamborghini Murcielago? Answer: with an equally bonkers successor. Scooped testing near the Nurburgring, this early mule for the next-generation supercar wears numberplates belonging to Quattro GmbH. That’s the official tuning arm of Audi (Lambo’s owner), so after the brilliant R8 it appears Quattro GmbH will play a role in Sant'Agata's ...

Rated 3 out of 5

Ben Pulman, 23 October 2008 11:05

This is VW’s latest Golf Plus, with a Scirocco-inspired nose and high-quality interior. And while the exterior changes might not look much, Volkswagen will tweak the Golf Plus just enough to designate it a Mk2 model. Expect the revised car to make its debut at the Bologna motor show in December 2008. Talk me through the tweaks to the VW ...

Rated 4 out of 5

Ben Pulman, 03 September 2008 15:11

This is Kia’s mini-MPV – think of it as a Korean Honda Jazz or Toyota Verso. Caught testing for the first time, the new MPV will be based on the Kia Soul and go on sale at the very end of 2009. Is this car called the Kia Soul MPV? No, it remains as yet unnamed. But Kia has recently ...

Rated 4 out of 5

Ben Pulman, 28 August 2008 11:34

These are spyshots of Suzuki’s new Mondeo rival, the Kizashi. Snapped hot-weather testing in the USA, the Kizashi is the company’s first foray into the declining D-segment. But with smart looks inherited from a trio of outrageous Kizashi concept cars, plus prices that should offer excellent value for money, the new Suzuki should be a credible rival to various Fords, VWs ...

We’re finally getting our first look inside Porsche’s Panamera super-saloon. This exclusive spy photo glimpses us the 475-litre boot of Stuttgart’s big barge and proof that those rear seats will fold. So while the basic boot isn't as big as the 560 litres you can cram into an S-class, you will be able to do a proper trip to the ...
