Jaguar XJ (2010) – more teaser videos

By Tim Pollard First Official Pictures 30 June 2009 10:11 Not long now until we see the new Jaguar XJ for real. The new 2010 XJ will be revealed at an event in London on 9 July 2009 and Jag promises that these videos are the last drip-feed teaser releases before the unveiling proper. Watch our video with Jaguar engineering bigwig Mike Cross talking about the dynamics of the new XJ.

Audi A5 Coupe – the aluminium future.

Audi has built a lightweight A5 with aluminium body. Audi has taken a standard existing steel-bodied production car as its basis and utilised Audi’s Aluminium Space Frame which reduces the weight of the car body by at least 40% compared to a conventional steel bodied car. The result on the A5 is a drop in weight of 240 lbs (not quite the complete aluminium future Jaguar are working towards).

Ford B-Max set for Geneva 2011

The Ford B-Max crossover, based on the Iosis Concept (pictured), will debut at Geneva 2011 The Ford Fusion arrived in 2002 as a stretched version of the Ford Fiesta – a mini MPV. And for a while it did pretty well in the sales charts, reaching a peak in 2007 as second only to Vauxhall’s Meriva. But its slide since then has been significant and last year it languished in fifth place with sales of 30,000.
