“All five inches of the additional length over the regular A8 goes into making the back half of the cabin as big and as nice as it can possibly be – put simply, there’s five inches more rear legroom, and the A8 wasn’t exactly cramped to begin with.”
“The Giulia Quadrifoglio is one of our very favorite cars on sale today, and despite some mild escalation in its price since it first arrived it remains among the most engaging and fun experiences”
“Cracking the Audi/BMW/Mercedes stranglehold of executive saloons is not easy… If Genesis can get customers into them it’ll capture plenty of sales from drivers who fancy something a little different but no less competent.”
“For car enthusiasts, the Mach-E does three things wrong: it’s a BEV, it’s a crossover, and it wears a badge they think it didn’t earn. However, for those who’ll actually buy the car, it’s a relatively engaging drive and a comfortable, spacious, and pretty handsome family car.”

The motor industry seems to be moving towards a new law. Much like that infamous rule of the internet it now seems that, if it exists, there’s a crossover of it.
In recent years, I’ve not been particularly kind to the Toyota Corolla. Three decades on from the sushi-delivering model revered by the PlayStation generation, the existing sedan had all the thrill of a marathon night of lingerie… laundry.
