  1. Errr, CAR Online still virtually at a standstill. Muchos apologos...
  2. @giannis Not sure about the new Alfa - have forwarded to our road test desk. Sounds like one we should get in once it's on Alfa press fleet!
  3. Thanks for Saab feedback all. And sorry that CAR Online is so slow today - we're having a new 'upgrade'...
  4. Just out in Sweden with Saab. Quick straw poll: excellent prospects as an indy, or minnow waiting to flounder?
  5. Inevitably, the new 2010 Jaguar XJ has leaked early: http://tinyurl.com/new2010xj
  6. And now we can show you inside the new Bentley Arnage limo: http://tinyurl.com/grandnew...
  7. CAR's got the real deal scoop on the new 2010 Bentley Arnage. Photos smuggled out of Crewe factory: http://tinyurl.com/grandnew...
  8. Arrived at Goodwood for Festival of Speed 2009. Camping in the Cali for first time - can confirm it's cleverer than Victorinox knifewear!
  9. Apparently most Aston owners also own a supermini. Hence the new Aston Martin Cygnet, an Aston Toyota iQ mash-up: http://tinyurl.com/nzwytf
  10. Aston Martin doing an iQ. WTF? More news in a minute...
  11. First pics of the Citroen C3 supermini: http://digg.com/d1v9pA?t
  12. Holidaying in CAR's Volvo XC60 this week - still attracting plenty of faux police double takes! Would have one over an XC90 any day
  13. @giannis Actually turns out it was a translating error. No supercharged diesels yet - but Bosch has struck a JV with Mahle for loadsa turbos
  14. Just driven the 2010 Porsche Cayenne Hybrid - very good it is too. First hybrid I've driven with an auto instead of CVT. Real gearchanges!
  15. At Bosch's 'secret' test facility Boxberg. Wonder if I can shake off the minders and uncover some real secrets!
  16. Bosch will start making lithium ion batteries by 2011. This is probably their biggest growth area in future. Cost will drop by 66% by 2015
  17. Bosch forecasts big growth for hybrids: 5 million of 90 million new cars built in 2015, rising to 6 million by 2020. Growth, but still niche
  18. Bosch says this is the car of 2015: 1000kg, drag figure of 0.34, battery to cost between €8000 to €12,000. It's still the stumbling block
  19. Food for thought: Bosch says 500 million of us will live in 'mega cities' by 2016. That's going to change the cars we drive. EVs, anyone?
  20. Bosch says it's going to do supercharged diesels. Interesting!
