Subaru Impreza 2.0R (2007) review Price: £17,495 31 August 2007 by Dan Trent The Impreza turns sensible but who is going to buy it? Subaru is either extremely brave or taking a very big risk.

Caparo T1 (2007) review Price: £210,000 30 August 2007 by Chris Chilton What’s this, some refugee from last weekend’s Grand Prix invading CAR Online? No, this is in fact a road car.

Peugeot 308 1.6 VHT (2007) review Price: £15,995 30 August 2007 by Peter Burgess Are you sure this is really a new Peugeot? Yes. Well.

Citroen C6 2.2 HDi (2007) review Price: £28,395 23 August 2007 by Ben Pulman A big Citroen saloon? Surely they’ve learnt by now that these don’t sell...

Renault Laguna Dynamique 1.5 dCi 110 (2007) review Price: £17,100 23 August 2007 by Ben Pulman Saloon Why is Renault even bothering to make another Laguna?

Chrysler Nassau concept (2007) CAR review 13 August 2007 by Nick Trott So, is this the new Chrysler 300C then? In a way, yes.
