Maybach 57S Coupe arrives

The Maybach 57S Coupe by Xenatec Regular readers will know that we gave due warning back in March that Maybach was going to be allowed to wither on the vine rather than get new models, apart from a run-out Maybach Coupe based on the Maybach 57S and ‘produced’ by German firm Xenatec.

New Lexus Concept teased for Frankfurt. Is this the Lexus RC, the IS Coupe?

New Lexus Concept teased for Frankfurt With the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show now just a few weeks away, car makers are starting to tease their offerings, with this morning’s coming from Lexus with a tease photo for a new Lexus Concept.

That makes more sense from the proportions we can work out in the photo than a  first look at a more compact, sub-RX – SUV we also know is in the works, but we wonder how different it will be from the concept for the latest IS.

Bentley SUV in the flesh – it’s not a looker: Geneva 2012

Bentley SUV in the flesh - oh dear Now we’ve seen the Bentley SUV – the Bentley EXP 9 F Concept – on the floor at Geneva 2012, it really isn’t very appealing. Despite many detractors decrying modern Bentleys as VWs in drag, we’re big fans. The Continental GT is stunning, the Flying Spur is Epic and the Mulsanne is the best limo in the world for owners who like to drive.
