Peugeot Crossover sets new benchmark

[Henrie Geyser, Motoring Editor] Styled like an SUV and with all the comfort and space of an MPV and the driving pleasure of a zippy hatchback, Peugeot's new 3008 le Crossover is as delightful as a fresh croissant and a cup of strong black coffee at a pavement cafe in Paris on a lazy Sunday morning.

ROAD TESTS

Since then I have driven a number of seriously fast, very impressive machinery including the Bentley Continental GT, BMW M3 and the Nissan GT-R but none of them quite matched the magic of the Audi. That is, until I fired up a thundering V10 Lamborghini engine - and a new love was born! 19 Jan 2010 12:47

Honda Jazz makes sweet music

[Henrie Geyser] Some of the best quotes in the world have come from people who are passionate about music, cars, food and wine… sayings that are witty, clever, accurate, and at times even bordering on the irrational and barely literate. 15 Jan 2010 09:57
