Citroën C-Métisse

Filed under Car News
I have never been the biggest fan of Citroen and for a very long time French cars made me feel uneasy. Maybe it was the Renault concept of modelling cars that look like frogs that bothered me. Anyway, the French have really started to make their mark in the world with gorgeous cars in the [...]

Feb 2007 Update: Details of the Holden Epica are available here
———
It seems like Holden hasn’t learnt much from its mistakes with the Daewoo sourced Holden Barina selling rather miserably given its 2 star safety rating and the obvious “stick a Holden badge and re-release” attitude that Holden took to selling the car. And in a [...]

Reports from Overseas are leaking in (excuse the pun) regarding 2006/2007 Jaguar XJ Sedans having a leaking fuel tank.

The following review was provided to us courtesy of Adam Kaplan from Hunter Holden
Driving the Zonda is a surreal experience.
You expect it to be difficult, after all, supercars are supposed to be quirky. They’re supposed to be difficult to see out of. They’re supposed to have hideously offset pedals and be claustrophobic and [...]
