    Dodge Teases Next Charger Super Bee, Likely Sans V8
    Dodge has unsubtly teased the return of the Super Bee by way of a short viral video posted on social media.
    The clip features a swarm of bees at a drag strip as Wiz Khalifa's "Black and Yellow" plays in the background. It’s pretty difficult to interpret this as anything other than heralding the return of the Super Bee — which will presumably arrive in the aforementioned color combination.
    We’re anticipating the model will be based on the current Charger and equipped with a drag

    No VXR badge here - but my Vauxhall Grandland is surprisingly stiff
    Track excursion reveals an identity crisis: this SUV thinks it’s a sports carDuring the first few weeks with my Vauxhall Grandland, I pondered aloud whether its maker had sacrificed an element of comfort and practicality in search of a more 'sporting' drive, and I think I should perhaps explain a little further. For a large family SUV, the Vauxhall rolls very little and corners with surprising poise. Its steering is pleasingly accurate - albeit rather over-light and lacking any semblance o

    Genesis GV60 Magma: why it's the ultimate blend of performance and pragmatism
    With a track-honed 641bhp and fleet-friendly running costs, there’s no company car quite like it
    Not so long ago, company car and salary sacrifice drivers faced a difficult choice when selecting their next set of wheels. Do you play it safe, keep costs down, and accept long but uninspiring hours behind the wheel? Or do you take the hit on tax and go for something a bit more interesting? Thankfully, with the exponential rise of electric cars, that dilemma is largely gone.

    The Chinese market is grim for European car makers, but it's an entirely different story for accessory makersThe second-quarter financial details of car makers are starting to come through, and we know from previously released volume figures that they will contain bad news from China.
