Tesla Roadster 2.5 – Goodwood Reveal

The Tesla Roadster 2.5 - Goodwood Reveal Of course, if it was going to happen anywhere it was going to happen at Goodwood – the centre of the car universe this week.

We think this is actually the fourth version of the Tesla Roadster since it first arrived on our roads – which means there’s a facelift every 250 cars or so.

Honda Odyssey minivan recalled for faulty tailgate struts

Honda said on Wednesday that it will recall about 45,800 Odyssey minivans from the 2008 and 2009 model years to replace the power-tailgate struts. Honda says the gas-filled struts that support the tailgate are prone to early failure. This could lead to the tailgate closing unexpectedly.

Volvo S60 R-Design won on Facebook by ‘The Lake District’

Volvo Greatest Drive Winner – The Lake District You may remember we reported in June that Volvo had gone slightly bonkers and decided to give away a brand spanking new S60 to whoever submitted the ‘Greatest Drive’ on Facebook; the route that offered not just great scenery but a great driving experience too. And Volvo didn’t skimp on the competition, with not just an astonishingly good prize but also the services of Robert Llewellyn to drive an S60 round the three routes initially voted the best (curious, that – we didn’t know Bobby could drive a car without an electric motor), with videos posted so Volvo’s Facebook fans could make a proper decision on what really was the ‘Greatest Drive’. And the winner was ‘The Lake District’.
