Cadillac Urban Luxury Concept at LA Motor Show

The Cadillac Urban Luxury Concept at LA We’re still finding it quite hard to get our heads round the fact that Cadillac are making appealing cars. Not just cars that appeal when we go to the former colonies and want something sybaritic to nestle in and cruise, but real cars that are actually fun to drive.

Murray becomes director of advanced concepts at Caparo Vehicle Products.

Mazda MX-5 Kuro Special Editions

Mazda has released yet another special edition MX-5 for the UK market in the guise of the Mazda MX-5 Kuro.  Yes, it’s yet another special edition MX-5, this time the Mazda MX-5 Kuro which comes as either a 1.8 litre soft top or a 2.0 litre Roadster Coupe. It seems the Japanese like the idea of ‘Black’ Special Edition cars as much as we do in the West (Kuro means black in Japanese), with the last ‘Kuro’ special being the Nissan Juke Kuro. But oddly Mazda are offering the MX-5 Kuro not just in black but also in Velocity Red Mica and Crystal White Pearlescent, with the ‘Kuro’ bits referring to the Brilliant Black roof, door mirrors and dark gunmetal 17″ alloys.
