Following last week’s initial Porsche Panamera test mule outing, more detailed images of the car have emerged. The new snaps confirm that the core architecture of the car caught testing appears very likely to be that of the final production vehicle…

Three years ahead of its official 2009 launch date, the first full-body Porsche Panamera prototype has been caught testing. For now, there’s a solitary image orbiting the interweb, but it’s enough to confirm that the production Panamera won’t come close to the concept sketches released by Porsche in terms of sleekness. In fact, it’s a less aggressive shape with a more conservatively raked windscreen than existing four-door coupe designs such as M-B’s E-Class-based CLS…

Trust UK rag AutoExpress to fan the flames of speculation regarding the future of Lamborghini. Following recent rumours that parent company VW is considering offloading the Italian supercar outfit comes news that Lamborghini has shelved plans for a pair of new models - a reborn LM 002 off-roader and a spiritual successor to the Espada…

“Jaguar fighter” was how Mercedes-Benz insiders imagined the super-slinky four-door coupe, the CLS. So, what does that make this possible four-door Audi coupe, as rumoured by German rag Auto Motor und Sport? Jag-fighter once removed? Whatever, it’s expected to launch some time in 2009…

Better late than never. M-B has jumped on the petrol direct injection bandwagon. Of course, calling it plain old direct injection won’t do, so it’s stratified-charged gasoline injection, or CGI for short, in Mercedes-Benz parlance. Anyway, Merc’s first DI engine has been dropped into the slinky CLS four-door coupe just in time for next week’s Geneva shindig. And the good news is that it’s both more powerful and more fuel efficient than the engine it replaces. Cross your fingers, folks, we may yet escape creeping death by diesel…

Merc’s slinky CLS set the ball rolling. Porsche is planning to join the party by the end of the decade. And now Aston Martin has announced its own take on the modern four-door coupe, the Rapide. And this is no mere show car. Production starts just 12 months from now.

This is it, ladies and germs. The daddy of SUVs, Euro-style. In fact, even by the grotesque standards of US-market SUVs, the new Mercedes-Benz GL, officially launched today, is a big, bad beast. At over five metres long, nearly two metres wide and not far short of two metres tall the GL simply says “screw you” to modesty, the environment, good taste and everything in its path. Long live conspicuous consumption.

Sensotronic Brake Control (SBC) be gone. After a biblical plague of faults resulting in 100,000 cars recalled in the UK and fully two million worldwide, Mercedes-Benz is cancelling the SBC brake-by-wire system on the E-Class and CLS ranges.

From the weird to the wonderful, you can count on Honda to produce the goods at its home show. To a chorus of double dash-hounds all round, we preview Honda’s line-up for 2005.

Apparently what the Mercedes Benz CLS really needs is more horsepower. It’s getting it, courtesy of M-B’s twin turbo V-12.
