Subaru XV gets a price cut – down by £1300 on 1.6 litre versions

It wasn’t a bad starting point for an able mid-sized crossover – a high-riding Impreza, in all but name –  but it wasn’t the cheapest offering in the class. But now, with the Yen being a bit kinder to Japanese car makers, Subaru has decided to nudge the price a bit lower to start the XV range off below £20k for the first time. The price drop for the XV only applies to the 1.6 litre petrol versions, but you can now get the entry-level XV 1.6i S for a more affordable £19,995 rising to £23,415 for the XV 1.6i SE with the Lineartronic gearbox, reductions across the range of £1300.

Lamborghini LP550-2 – the Balboni Video

Video of the Lamborghini LP550-2 Valention Balboni The LP550-2 features a unique colour scheme, with a big stripe right up the middle of the car – echoed on the interior trim – but more importantly the Lp550-2 is set up to be a real driver’s car, with rear wheel drive replacing the LP560-4′s four wheel drive. The LP550-2 Balboni has now been launched at dealerships throughout the world – including here in the UK – and Lamborghini has seen fit to produce an ‘Advertorial’ for the LP550. It features almost five minutes of the LP550 and Valentino Balboni, and is worth the watch.
