It’s a very interesting question and everyone will have their opinion but what makes a car become an icon? The Mazda MX-5, Bugatti Veyron and Audi TT have been voted the top three cars most likely to be classic icons […]
So you drive – or rather are driven in – this humongous limousine, say a BMW 7 Series, Audi A8 or Merc S-Class, and you feel bad about the environmental damage you do? Yeah, right! Still, that’s what owners of […]
It’s a week of posh cars being revamped so far (see yesterday’s take on the new Audi R8) and now we have the Lexus LS. This flagship motor has had a complete overhaul with sharper styling, and a new F […]
Audi has given its flagship R8 a comprehensive make over for its 2013 model year line-up. The new look is due to make it’s debut at the Paris Motor Show and among the changes for the R8 V8 and V10 […]
