Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG first drive

The CLS 63 has undergone the same transition as the E 63 - a new engine that doesn't provide the thumping torque of the CLS 55, but whose characteristics make it an even more usefully potent weapon on the road

Mercedes-Benz E500 Sport

The E500 is the latest model in Merc's revised E-class lineup; and a highly impressive one.

Lotus Elise S first drive

Lotus has returned the Elise to its origin with a sharply-priced entry-level model. David Vivian finds it provides the most thrills of the range.

Lexus LS460

Renault Clio 2.0 Renaultsport 197 first drive

Mercedes-Benz ML 420 CDI first drive

Hugely powerful and flexible diesel V8 makes this the ML to go for. Never mind the ML63 or ML500, this is the real performance M-class.

Cadillac BLS 2.0 T

Stylish and certainly stands out from mainstream competition. Refined, too, but lacks the sparkle of an Alfa 159 or build quality of a 3-series. Still worth a look, though.

Mazda 3 1.6 TS2

The 3 always was a capable car, now it's quieter and cheaper to run. But in such a hotly contested market, that's not really enough.
