Aston Martin Vanquish Volante Neiman Marcus Edition. Christmas is on its way

Aston Martin Vanquish Volante Neiman Marcus Edition It seems like Christmas should be a long way off, but not if you’re Nieman Marcus – the Harrods of North America – where Christmas has arrived with the launch of their annual Christmas catalogue. Regular readers will know the Neiman Marcus Christmas car is a special edition car offered each year and customised to make it unique – and more expensive. Last year’s Neimen Marcus car was the McLaren 12C Spider (and the year before the Ferrari FF) and this year Neiman Marcus has stuck with the Brit offering and have the Aston Martin Vanquish Volante as their car of choice for Christmas 2013.

Cadillac CTS (2014) [w/Gallery]

The all-new Cadillac CTS has broken cover ahead of its official debut at this week's New York Auto Show. This third-generation CTS is a clear evolution of its predecessors design-wise, but the crucial shift is in its growth – it's now, more logically, alligned to its main competitors, the BMW 5 Series, Lexus GS and Audi A6. This follows the smaller ATS' lead, which is within millimeters of a 3 Series.

Jaguar F-type prototype (2013): the testing videos

As Jaguar confirmed its new F-type sports car at the 2012 New York auto show, it issued some teaser video footage of the new £55,000 roadster landing in showrooms in spring 2013. Jag ambassador and former racer Martin Brundle hitches a lift with the company's chief dynamics engineer Mike Cross for a few hot laps in the F-type prototype around its handling circuit at Gaydon. We can safely ignore the hyperbole poring forth ('It's responsive, it's a great car to drive') but it's a good chance to see the all-aluminium F-type in action.
