As Team GB flew home with an unprecedented haul of medals from the Beijing Olympics, another Brit was being crowned the best in the world. Jaguarò€™s new XF beat off stiff opposition to be crowned Auto Express Car of the Year. The victory marked a reversal of fortune for the firm. When Auto Express launched in 1989, Jag was in the doldrums ò€“ it had just been rescued by Ford and had an outdated range of cars. The prospect of the firm making a model good enough to take a Car of the Year title would have been laughable. Today, nearly 20 years on, Jag is back where it belongs ò€“ at the top.

A spokesman for the UK arm of the company said: "The car is here to show the United States that we do little motors as well." But interest was nearly as low key as the model"s presentation, with only a handful of onlookers checking out the blue and silver ForTwo.

Originally, the company claimed it was confident of shifting 10,000 models across Europe every year by 2010. But with only 600 examples of the BLS finding homes in the UK in 2006, that ambitious target has now been dropped.

"Sales are set to increase," a Cadillac spokesman told Auto Express. "And with the launch of the new SRX SUV, plus the arrival of other cars in the range such as the Escal÷­ade off-roader, we are confident the business will grow." However, he conceded: "It"s been tougher than some people anticipated."

As well as revising sales forecasts, it"s thought bosses are planning major changes to the way in which Cadillac cars are sold. At the moment, they are distributed by the large dealer group Pendragon, but it"s understood Caddy parent company General Motors will bring this area of the business in-house.

Cadillac top brass are also drawing up proposals aimed at boosting the number of sales to fleet buyers, in addition to looking into ways of improving customer support.
