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.

Fancy being first for an Infiniti FX SUV? With five months to go until the European launch of Nissanò€™s premium brand, it has created a website on which potential customers can place an order.
After entering your details at www.infiniti.eu youò€™ll be allocated a reservation number. This is passed to your local Infiniti Centre, which will contact you when pre-ordering opens later this year. Nearly 10,000 people have already signed up to be an Infiniti Insider, which means theyò€™re kept up to date with the range.
And while there is no official word on how many UK deposits have already been taken, company insiders told Auto Express that they had already secured 20 orders for the FX from people swapping out of the Porsche Cayenne.
