Jaguar SUV (C-X17) gets a new paint job & 5 seats: Guangzhou Motor Show

Jaguar SUV (C-X17) gets a new paint job & 5 seats Jaguar are certainly making the most of their SUV Concept – the Jaguar C-X17 – with the latest version arriving at the Guangzhou Motor Show in China this week.

Volkswagen Suzuki Partnership - things aren't exactly rosy Back in 2009 Volkswagen invested a rather large chunk of change (around €2 billion) in Suzuki in exchange for a 20% stake in the Japanese car maker, and there were big hopes for advantages for both parties. Volkswagen were looking for a quick-fix route to the burgeoning car market in India, where Suzuki were doing very well, with sales in India last year of 1.13 million cars – almost half its production – in comparison to VW’s paltry sales of just 53,000. In return, Suzuki were expecting to get a quick route to cutting-edge hybrid and electric tech for their range, and access to VW’s engines.

"Who's going to buy all their cars?" (We will. –Ed.) Who, indeed -- every generation defines, and is simultaneously defined by, its own tastes.
