BMW is not taking the new M135i to the US but has instead announced the BMW 135is Coupe and Convertible for the US only. There must be logic to BMW’s decision to badge a new 1 Series M135i for the UK and Europe and then add a new model in the US – the 135is [...]

A show-off driver of a Lamborghini Gallardo gets his comeuppance after losing control as he takes off from traffic lights. You won’t be surprised to learn that we have no problem with drivers of supercars; in our book, if you can afford it then enjoy it. But there is little on the road that’s more [...]

Volvo has had good news from the fleet industry with strong residuals forecast for the new 2012 Volvo V40 ahead of first customer cars.
