    Rare Rides Icons: The Jeep Wagoneer, The First Luxury SUV Ever (Part XVIII)
    Over the past two weeks we took a deeper dive into the blocky exterior details of the 2022 Jeep Grand Wagoneer and its yacht-violin inspired interior. The Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer would have entered their fifth model year in 2026, accompanied by a refresh. However, Jeep celebrated the occasion by dropping the most popular model of the two.

    E-Type, who? Magnificent Mark 2 is my dream classic Jag
    Each to their own: Mark 2 Jag isn't the bedroom wall fantasy of most teenagers - but it was for meFor a long time my favourite car was the Jaguar Mark 2.
    It's a strange object of infatuation, given the wealth of heartstopping, bedroom poster-material cars that came after. I mean, it was the fastest four-door saloon in the world in 1959, but why should eight-year-old me have cared about that more than four decades later?

    How UK firm is helping the niche industry survive the EV age
    In 2012, Cornwall-based WEVC predicted the need for a versatile platform for low-volume EVsNothing governs the size and shape of a car, its character and even its soul, more directly than the platform on which it rides. Spaceframe or ladder, skateboard or monocoque, it's the platform that governs how well a car's suspension and powertrain will work and even how its wheels will turn.
