    Price:  £44,285

    28 October 2008 by Anthony ffrench-Constant

    Huntsville, Alabama; where the back of every single neck is a dead ringer for 'Volcanic Splash 4' from the Dulux colour chart, where family trees have only one branch (‘yew kin divorce me, but yawl...

  • Infiniti EX37 (2008) review

    Price:  £35,000

    27 October 2008 by Adam Towler

    It’s taken four years of planning to realise this Infiniti EX37 launch. Nissan’s Infiniti 'premium brand' is about to make a bridgehead into Europe, and it’s this EX37 SUV-lite experience that it...

  • Suzuki Grand Vitara 2.4 (2008) review

    Price:  £14,499

    29 September 2008 by James Foxall

    Twenty years ago you probably didn’t imagine the Suzuki Vitara to be a ground breaker. But it was. The little 4x4 was the first small Sports Utility Vehicle and as such created a sector in the market...

    Price:  £29,550

    24 September 2008 by Anthony ffrench-Constant

    Now, what was that movie wherein Dudley Moore played the advertising man whose copy simply told the truth? Can’t remember… But having promoted an airline on the sole basis that it ‘crashed less often...

  • BMW X6 XDrive 35i (2008) review

    Price:  £43,160

    24 September 2008 by Greg Fountain

    Announcing the launch of the world’s first sports activity coupe is rather like announcing the world’s first six-decker sponge cake – probably quite tasty, but hardly a Jaffa cake moment, and way too...

  • Subaru Forester 2.0D (2008) review

    Price:  £20,295

    23 September 2008 by Glen Waddington

    We’re already familiar with the Forester, Subaru’s take on the junior SUV market. It grew in stature and capacity as it morphed from last-gen to current model, but it lacked one crucial element:...

  • Audi Q7 V12 TDI (2008) review

    Price:  £96,295

    18 September 2008 by Glen Waddington

    There are big numbers at play with the Audi Q7 V12 TDI. Try these for size: 2635kg (big SUV), V12 (the first 12-cylinder diesel engine yet fitted to a passenger vehicle), 493bhp (it’s the most...

  • Nissan Murano (2009 European version) review

    Price:  £33,000

    01 September 2008 by Anthony ffrench-Constant

    A new Nissan Murano? I can barely remember the old one… That’s probably because, despite selling over 241,000 units in America since its launch in 2004, the poor Murano managed barely 55,000 sales...

  • Nissan Qashqai+2 2.0 (2008) review

    Price:  £17,199

    28 August 2008 by David Motton

    Don't let Nissan catch you calling the new Qashqai+2 an MPV. Like its jacked-up hatchback little brother, this is one of Nissan’s growing family of ‘crossover’ vehicles – mainstream cars with a pinch...

    Price:  £1,000,000

    27 August 2008 by Jesse Crosse

    It’s a few years now since the first serious prototype fuel cell cars hummed onto the radar, yet they’re still very much at the research stage. That said, they have come a long way considering the...

  • Volvo XC90 D5 R- Design Geartronic (2008) review

    Price:  £39,045

    18 August 2008 by Peter Burgess

    My word, how excited we all were back in 2002 when Volvo launched its first SUV, the XC90. The initial production sold out almost on the spot, or so the message was from Volvo. Certainly there were...

  • VW Touareg R50 (2008) review

    Price:  £62,015

    08 August 2008 by Tim Pollard

    A bit of a conundrum, this. How can a 2.6-tonne 4x4 put the Sport back into SUV? Volkswagen reckons the R50 Touareg is the answer – a tweaked-up version of its luxury 4x4. Except here, the emphasis is...
