If Renault’s new...

If Renault’s new roadster is really going to trouble the MX-5, it will need to match its opponent’s famed build quality. And that won’t be easy – because the Japanese model has finished top in a reliability study of 450,000 convertibles.



Grand by name, grand...

Grand by name, grand by nature! This is the Mercedes CLS Grand Edition, shown here with unique palladium silver matt paint. Other upgrades include 18-inch titanium grey AMG alloys and floor mats with one-off badging. Only the 350 CDI V6 engine is offered, but a re-tune has upped power by 47bhp to 268bhp, and cut 0-60mph times by half a second to 6.5 seconds, without altering emissions or fuel economy. Only 560 Grand Editions will be sold from July, costing ?48,445.

But there"s bad news...

But there"s bad news for British rally fans. It"s available only to customers in America, even though its UK heritage was played up at the unveiling, where the model was hidden beneath a huge Union Jack flag.

Jack Pitney, vice-president of MINI USA, explained: "This marks a great event in Mini"s history. The Monte Carlo win put the car on the map."

Each of the 1,000 models will be identical, finished in Chili Red with a white roof and the famous 33-EJB number plate on the bonnet and 37 on the doors. A 40th anniversary logo appears on the rear wings, gearstick and driver and passenger footwells. There"s a GB sticker on the boot, grille-mounted foglamps and a number plaque on the centre console shows which of the 1,000 cars it is.
