LONG HAUL
The American’s sure know how to do First-Class; in fact all that’s missing from the new Chrysler Grand Voyager is a little light up button to call over Britney and her hostess crew.

SAY MY NAME
Lexus – hardly a car badge you would brag about but trust us you should be, especially if you’ve landed yourself an IS-F! You can finish the sentence for yourself but it may go something like this: IS-Fast as hell!

Devil`s Own
Call me sadistic but if I was to buy a super car, I’d want my passengers to come out a whiter shade of pale, eyes dilated and knees knocking, so does the new Aston Martin V8 Vantage N400 qualify?

COOLING OFF?
The Honda S2000 has spent nine years in the cool camp but after a couple of facelifts and taming that wayward rear end has time caught up with it and will bigger rivals steal its sunshine?

KEEPING IT IN THE FAMILY
The versatile Mazda 5 gets a nip and tuck to bring it into line with its new brethren

DEAD OR ALIVE
Can we have a drum roll please? It looks like British firm Jenson is ignoring talk of a recession and reviving its manufacturing arm, only this time under a new name

SHOW ME THE MONEY
Okay, it’s just a Laguna – no fancy packaging and its predecessor certainly hasn`t given it a huge sales boost but we are pretty sure where the one billion Euros has gone and in our opinion it’s money well spent!

FOR OLD TIME`S SAKE
Need an excuse to celebrate? Rake up an old relic and give it a makeover. That’s what Porsche has done with their 2008 Boxster RS 60 Spyder and what do you know - we’re all over it like a rash

RETURN TO OZ
If you were worried that Vauxhall’s VXR range had gone off the boil since the Monaro was axed, here’s proof that the Aussies can still lure us with their whimsical creations

Lost in translation
The new Mazda6 has apparently been designed with ‘seichi, rin and yugen’ which gives it lots of ‘kizuna.’ Confused? Don’t be, it’s just more zoom zoom.

FASHION VICTIM
We couldn’t get enough of the new generation Mini hatchback when it first arrived, so popular was it in fact that its value went up once you drove it off the forecourt. So will the Clubman uphold a similar novelty factor?

BOX OF TRICKS
How many headliners can you pack in to a BMW 135i Coupe? Enough to stir up a few fireworks but will it’s packaging be attractive enough to tempt the youngsters?

TRANSFORMERS
Pininfarina has a rare talent for transforming lifeless lumps of metal in to mind-altering machines. Since its launch in the 60’s the Alfa Spider has epitomised this passion; series after series the effects remain undiluted.

FORT KNOX
All those with a death wish, keep your mitts off - this Nissan GT-R is already super enough, besides hacking in to its ECU would be a fruitless venture. Trust the makers on this one, it was built wild!
MÉNAGE À TROIS
Want a more intriguing relationship than the Altea XL can offer? The Freetrack 4 is much more explorative; in fact it gives you the safe, the sublime and the raring to go all in one clever bundle.

RETURN TO SENDER
The old Mazda2 was practical and dynamic but its Postman Pat image had to go. This time around its sleeker styling and sportier engines make it a first-class city car for a much trendier market.

MOVE OVER
Volvo used to be known as the matriarch of all models – nurturing, safe and respectfully presented. The XC60 concept however is the real wild child of the next generation.

A IS 4
A is for accomplished but certainly not arrogant because despite its big mouth and oodles of pulling power it doesn’t need to shout about it.
ZERO HOUR
Its crunch time for the two Japanese fly boys but will the land of the rising sun give us a new dawning performance or will we merely get a warmed-up version of something we’ve already seen?
