Henry III, Act I: Henry Ford's great-great grandson will soon enter the stage

Why do we think 29-year-old Henry Ford III will make a great auto executive? Not because he is the great-great grandson of Henry Ford, direct descendant of the founder, and next in line for the throne if Ford Motor Co. was a monarchy.

Saab 9-4X – production starts

The Saab 9-4X has gone in to limited production in Mexico With all the shenanigans going on with the sale of Saab it’s very easy to forget that there is the business of making cars still going on.

We reported last month that Saab were to re-start production in January and it now looks as if the yet to be revealed Saab 9-4X SUV is also being made – albeit in small numbers.

New Mercedes SL 400 replaces SL 350

The new Mercedes SL 400 (pictured) replaces the old SL 350 It’s a little over two years since the latest Mercedes SL arrived, and Mercedes has now decided to add a little zest to sales by dropping the old SL 350 and replacing it with a new Mercedes SL 400. The new SL 400 gets its power from the new E400 which means a twin-turbo 3.0 litre V6 with 328bhp and 354 lb/ft of torque – 26bhp and 81 lb/ft more than the old SL 350 – enough to let the SL 400 scoot to 62 mph in 5.2 seconds – 0.7s better than the 350 -= and on to a limited top speed of 155 mph. The new SL 400 has to make do with Mercedes tried and tested 7-speed auto – despite a new 9-speed now being available in Mercedes’ arsenal – which gives the SL 400 official economy of 38.6 mpg and emissions of 172g/km – not that you’ll come close in the real world.
