Following on from the successful launch of ProNav, the new ProNav PNN-200 delivers new levels of performance and is now even easier to use thanks to a revised user interface, […]
These are five things that are sure to ruin your weekend, especially if you’re looking to get out there and do some last minute Christmas shopping (something I’ve done myself this afternoon and still not managed to complete). Blocking the street I live on quite a narrow road, so there’s nothing worse than when one […]
Now we’re talking, the performance section of this year’s awards. Granted, perhaps I should have stuck the boring eco-motors between the posh Jag and this astonishing car – but hey, it’s not a celebration of being a snotty Prius owner. So, without further ado, let’s look at the Car Articles Performance Car of the Year 2008 […]
This sudden decision was in response to the widespread economic downturn that is affecting the entire automotive industry, and follows Suzuki’s withdrawal announced a couple of days ago. After 20 years in the sport, during which time the Prodrive-run Subaru World Rally Team has won six World Rally Championship titles, this is not only sad […]

It’s one very special car indeed. Nissan though have decided to make it better for Europe: Engine power increase – up to […]
In what appears to be another car manufacturer being hit by the credit crunch, Vauxhall is offering its workforce a chance to take a sabbatical on 30% pay. This sabbatical can last up to nine months, and presumably is a way to cut costs without actually having to cut any jobs for the time being. […]
The problem with green cars is that they are usually one of two things (or, indeed, both). First, they aren’t actually that economical. Second, their other problem is that they look – well – a bit crap. Of course, it would be SEAT that breaks the mould. The Leon Ecomotive delivers a lot of style […]
It’s about time that we had at least one car category of the year, and so I’ve decided to unveil the Coupe of the Year. In this case, I’ve chosen the Jaguar XK. There have been a few good coupes out for this year, but none better for my taste than this really classy Jag. […]
