Jaguar Land Rover to spend additional £250 million a year with UK suppliers

BMW Concept Gran Coupé revealed- BMW 8 Series?

BMW's Gran Coupe Concept - a four door coupe - revealed in Beijing Despite the imposing (5m long) BMW Concept Gran Coupé being a surprise showing from BMW, we really shouldn’t be at all surprised. Ever since Mercedes launched the CLS back in 2005 the four-door swoopy-coupe has been gathering sales and becoming more desired and more in demand every year. We can now add the Audi A7 to the CLS in this category and in all honesty the new Jaguar XJ is a four-door coupe in all but name.
