Honda S2000 (2006) review Price: £27,402 11 September 2006 by Jed Maxwell Hasn’t the S2000 been around for ages? It certainly has.

Suzuki Swift Sport (2006) review Price: £11,549 05 September 2006 by Angus Fitton Suzuki Swift Sport? Sounds like a horrible special edition to me...

VW GX3 concept (2006) review 04 September 2006 by Georg Kacher What planet’s this from?

Cadillac SRX (2006) review Price: £27,995 25 August 2006 by Angus Fitton Hmmm, this looks like the dictionary definition of a Yank tank...
