Jaguar cool in white at L.A. Auto Show with C-X16 & XKR-S Convertible

Jaguar at the LA Auto Show with a brace of white cats Jaguar may not be going to the Detroit Motor Show in January (forsaking it for Delhi) but it’s put on a show in Los Angeles with a new white version of the Jaguar C-X16 Concept (XE) and the new XKR-S Convertible. The Jaguar C-X16 – which looks set to be the Jaguar XE when it arrives – conspires to look even more production-ready at LA than it already did at Frankfurt despite, as far as we can tell, nothing more than a new coat of paint. Some of the elements that seem unlikely to make it in to production – such as the rear hatch which opens E-Type like and the ultra-modern interior – are still present, yet on the C-X16 they seem to fit; it would be a shame to see them go for the production XE.

Lexus IS 250 Advance & 200d Advance announced

The Lexus IS 200d Advance We should cherish the Lexus IS. No, not because it’s a Lexus – although the Lexus fixtures, fittings and build quality do make it score highly on many a car buyer’s radar – but because it’s NOT got Hobson’s choice on the engine front. You can actually opt for a real ICE engine and – shock, horror – a proper gearbox.

Fisker Karma does 62mpg. Or 24mpg. Officially.

Fisker Karma - from 24mpg Yes, you read that right. The Fisker Karma now has official economy figures from the EPA in America so it can go on sale in the States. But didn’t Leonardo Do Caprio get the first Karma sold in the US back in July?
