Stig outed as Ben Collins – again

The Stig is Ben Collins It’s a game Top Gear has played since the days of ‘Black Stig’ (Perry McCarthy – F1 almost was) – Who is the Stig? Not only has it provided the Beeb with an endless run of free publicity as everyone and his dog speculates on the Stig’s identity, they’ve even made money on the back of the Stig’s identity with Stig-focused games and goodies from the gloriously tacky range of Top Gear ephemera. And this last week Stiggy has been in the news as he tries to get his memoirs published – Stig: The Autobiography – much to the consternation of the Beeb, who believe his contract gives him no chance of revealing his identity.

Roewe 950 at 2012 Beijing motor show

Here's a car that our colleagues on CAR China have been getting excited about: the new Roewe 950. It's a 5-series rival spawned by Roewe and parent company SAIC's links with GM. So what is the Roewe 950 exactly?

Roewe 350 (w/ Gallery)

The Roewe 350 is the first model built atop parent company SAIC's new A-class platform. At first sight, there appears considerable overlap with this latest model and the Roewe 550, but the 350's 2650mm wheelbase and overall length of 4521mm is roughly 100mm shorter than the 550. Read our opinion of the new design in our 2010 Beijing Motor Show Highlights and see more photos in the gallery below.
