The 2015 Mercedes-AMG C 63 blows in with up to 503bhp It’s nine months since the new Mercedes C-Class was revealed, and it’s a cracker.

Actually – with Mercedes moving AMG more front and centre – you now have the option of the Mercedes-AMG C 63, with the name change mirroring the nomenclature for the new Mercedes-AMG GT.

The new Lexus IS - launched at Detroit in January and costing from £26,495 for the IS 250 in the UK – actually offers ownership costs that eclipse diesel offerings from the likes of Jaguar, BMW, Audi and Mercedes, say Lexus. Despite the logical assumption that the complex hybrid powerplant in the IS 300h would cost more to maintain, Lexus say the opposite is true. Because it has no clutch and the starter motor and alternator are integrated they require no servicing or replacement and Lexus has fitted a timing chain instead of a timing belt, so it won’t need regular replacement either.
