I am absolutely certain that it is no coincidence that the 1973 Ford Falcon XB GT features in Forza Motorsport 4. Aside from being my dream car when I was 10 years old, it is almost identical to Aussie actor Eric Bana’s ‘74 variety that was the basis of his awesomely brilliant 2009 documentary Love […]

With the facelift of the current W204 iteration of the C-class, Mercedes-Benz has taken what was already a very good car and simply made it better. This sounds like a fairly sensible thing to do with a new model, but you would be surprised how many times it doesn’t work that way. Not with the […]
While it has its faults, Driver: San Francisco is a triumphant return to form for the once-great Driver series, following the awfulness that was the clunky DRIV3R on PS2 and Xbox. It dumps all the Grand Theft Auto-inspired on-foot missions and shooting and returns to the essence of what made the original Driver games great […]
Let’s get the most annoying aspect of the Hyundai iLoad out of the way first – the key. The key for the iLoad isn’t so much of a problem in itself – after all it is a key, it does what keys are supposed to do; start the vehicle. Rather it is the positioning of […]
If you spent any time in the 1980s, you probably still can’t shake the idea that Volvos are boring. And let’s face it – back then, they were. The Swedish company’s focus has always been on safety and while safety is all well and good, it was hardly exciting. Unless, that is, you were a […]
There is much argument over what car could truly be considered King of the Hot Hatch genre, but you would have to be extraordinarily one-eyed – or maybe a bit stupid – if you didn’t at least concede that it most likely comes down to a choice between to two originators of the class – […]
BMW has released details and pictures of the new 1 Series. The next-generation small car was developed on the same platform architecture as the new 3-series and will, like the original 1 Series, appear first as a five-door hatch. It will be followed by a new three-door early next year, and will eventually spawn a […]
I have to admit that after playing through L.A. Noire, the new game from game publisher Rockstar – those wonderful people who bought you the throughly brilliant Grand Theft Auto series and the utterly awesome Red Dead Redemption – I am a little bit mystified by all the rave reviews it has been gathering. To […]
In a move of pure awesomeness, Jaguar has announced that it will team up with legendary British Formula 1 team Williams F1 to build the C-X75 hybrid supercar. Appearing at the 2010 Paris Motorshow, the C-X75 was a show-stopper, powered by two mid-mounted turbines. Predictably the turbines have been dropped and replaced by two electric […]
Referring to a car as refined, luxurious and poised as the BMW 535d as a muscle car seems more than a little incongruous, given that the phrase generally conjures up images of luridly-coloured American cars with colossal petrol-slurping V8 engines and lots of tyre smoke. In regards to that definition, the soberly-coloured, diesel-sipping turbo 3-litre […]
