Cars UK wishes all our readers a Merry Christmas

Bernie Ecclestone's Christmas Card 2011 Seasons Greetings to all our readers, and a small selection of Car Makers’ Christmas Greetings 2011. The one day of the year we all get a day off, with just the exception of one story to wish you all a Merry Christmas. This year we’ve use Bernie Ecclestone’s Christmas Card for 2011, which perhaps sums up much of F1 for 2011, and the magnetic attraction Lewis Hamilton and Felipe Massa had for one another this year.

Renault Twingo (2014) first official pictures

By Damion Smy First Official Pictures 13 February 2014 23:01 This is the new Renault Twingo that’s due to arrive in showrooms this September. Renault’s smallest model bar the quirky Twizy, the third-gen Twingo is the first in the car’s 24-year history to come with five doors. The all-new model has been co-developed with Mercedes, which will use it for its Smart ForTwo and ForFour models.

This is the new, third generation BMW X5, the biggest-selling SUV in its segment with over 1.3 million sold since the first was launched in 1999. While the previous versions have sat more in the high-riding wagon space (BMW prefers to call them Sports Activity Vehicles), this latest F15 model appears to have shifted closer to a more traditional SUV, appearing taller and less ‘squat', certainly than the car it replaces. This is partly due to the DLO, which dips down behind the A-pillar, creating a deep window.
