  • Cadillac CTS 3.6 V6 (2007) review

    Price:  £28,000

    07 November 2007 by Richard Aucock

    What’s this? A Cadillac I like the look of? What’s going on? Strange things indeed. Oh-so-US Cadillac has long spoken of being a BMW alternative, offering look-at-me impact for less shy and retiring...

  • Vauxhall VXR8 Supercharged (2007) review

    Price:  £48,190

    16 October 2007 by Tim Pollard

    So Vauxhall reckons the VXR8 isn't fast enough? You got it in one. Vauxhall's UK performance arm VXR (sister division to the Continentals' OPC Opel brand) is becoming seemingly more power-crazed by...

  • Audi A8 facelift (2007) review

    Price:  £49,995

    03 September 2007 by CJ Hubbard

    I'm sorry, did you say this was a mid-life facelift for Audi's luxury A8? Fair enough – the cosmetic changes aren't that exciting. In fact, they're really rather difficult to spot, being limited to...

  • Saab 9-5 Bio-fuel 2.0T (2007) review

    Price:  £23,765

    02 August 2007 by Ben Oliver

    Nice stickers! Don’t tell me – it’s a Saab 9-5 running on bio-ethanol… Well-spotted Sherlock. This is indeed a very special 9-5 that turns up its nose at conventional fuels in favour of bio-ethanol.

  • Lexus GS450h (2007) review

    Price:  £38,080

    29 June 2007 by Ben Oliver

    Looks like a limo, but I suppose if David Cameron has one, it must be green… We’re not sure how much Tory-boy’s ‘celebrity’ endorsement is worth, but the Lexus GS450h is probably the most technically...

  • Vauxhall VXR8 (2007) review

    Price:  £35,105

    31 May 2007 by Ben Barry

    That’s one hell of a Vauxhall you've got there... Don’t let the badge fool you. It reads Vauxhall but underneath that chunky sheetmetal is Holden’s new Commodore Clubsport R8 with a higher spec GTS...

  • Cadillac BLS 1.9D (2007) review

    Price:  £21,473

    24 April 2007 by Julian Kirk

    Another US saloon arriving in Britain with right-hand drive? What's so special about the BLS? It's the first Cadillac offered with a diesel engine. Well if you discount the disastrously unreliable...

  • Honda Legend 3.5i (2006) review

    Price:  £36,352

    08 December 2006 by Chris Chilton

    Legend? Quite an appropriate name. I don’t think I’ve seen one in the metal since 1989 In fact it was only a couple of years ago that the last Legend disappeared from Car’s GBU although truth be told...

    Strewth cobber, that’s a ripper car… err… she’s a beaut, mate… Yes, well spotted there. this is an Australian car. It’s the SS-V, the performance flagship version of Holden’s spanking new VE Commodore...

  • Chrysler 300C SRT-8 (2006) review

    Price:  £40,550

    27 September 2006 by Chris Chilton

    What’s this SRT badge about? I thought the Hemi was the hot one. SRT, or ‘street and racing technologies’ is Chrysler’s answer to BMW’s M, Merc’s AMG and Audi’s RS monikers. Big power, big wheels and...

  • Audi S6 (2006) review

    Price:  £55,475

    26 July 2006 by Chris Chilton

    After the rapturous reception given to the brilliant new RS4 we've got high hopes for the S6. As well you might. All the ingredients are there: V10 Lamborghini engine, grippy Torsen four-wheel drive...
