Ford Kuga launched in Australia – but it’s the old Kuga

The old Ford Kuga is the new Ford Kuga in Australia In what seems an odd move, the current Ford Kuga has been launched in Australia, just weeks from the debut of the 2012 Kuga in Geneva. You can’t have failed to notice that the 2012 Ford Kuga is just round the corner – and due to debut at Geneva in March – and we’ve already seen most of what the new Kuga has to offer with the debut of the new Ford Escape at Los Angeles last November. But despite the world readying itself to put in an order for a new Kuga, our Antipodean cousins are only now getting the chance to buy a Kuga, but its not the all new Ford Kuga, rather the Kuga we’ve had for the last four years.

LA Motor Show: Mercedes previews fast GLA compact SUV model

MERCEDES has unveiled an almost production-ready AMG compact SUV concept with a banzai 355bhp engine. The Concept GLA 45 AMG is the German company’s vision for a rapid car to rival the upcoming Porsche Macan, which like the Mercedes was also unveiled at the Los Angeles Auto Show. Using an extremely highly-tuned four-cylinder turbocharged engine similar to that first seen in the A 45 AMG hatchback, the GLA 45 AMG produces enough muscle to fire itself to 62mph in ‘less than five seconds’, according to Mercedes.

Jaguar XF Diesel S (2010) Review & Road Test part 2

Jaguar XF Diesel S Review – a really very nice interior What you get with the XF Diesel S is a car that is so close to the XFR in the way it handles and performs it’s hard to believe you’re ploughing along in a 3.0 litre diesel. The wall of torque the Diesel S produces certainly helps – it’s within a whisker of the torque the 5.0 litre XFR delivers – and for much of the time the XF Diesel S manages to do a very credible impersonation of its petrol-engined sibling. True, you don’t get all the XFR’s goodies bolted to the XF Diesel S even after you’ve dished up £3k+ to grab the two sporty packages.
