Dear Criss,
It’s the scoop of the year! Thanks to our network of spy photographers, Auto Express has first pictures of Ford’s baby…the all-new Ka.
Seen completely undisguised for the first time, the Fiat 500 rival gets a sensational new look that updates the cheeky original with styling cues from the new Fiesta. We’ve also got exclusive pictures of the Ka’s new interior too.
Meanwhile, our road testers have been busy, pitting BMW’s X6 against a host of fashion-conscious rivals from Audi, Mercedes and Porsche. Can the new ‘coupe SUV’ stand out in such a tough field?
In another amazing story, we’ve taken the wraps off Renault’s dramatic Laguna Coupe – and judging by its sleek shape, buyers will be getting Aston Martin style for a quarter of the price when it goes on sale in November.
Talking of Astons, we’ve put the new V8 Vantage to the test this week too. Can a new 4.7-litre engine transform the firm’s entry-level supercar? Alternatively, if it’s load-lugging family cars you’re after, we’ve also driven Citroen’s C5 Tourer – an estate that manages to mix huge carrying capacity with good looks.
Finally, with the British Motor Show just over six weeks away, Auto Express has teamed up with the expo organisers to offer a fantastic three-for-two offer.
But that’s not it for motor show prizes. Log on here and vote for your favourite car of 2008 for a chance to win VIP tickets to the press preview day!
