New Ford Edge Concept previews larger Ford SUV for Europe: Los Angeles Auto Show

New Ford Edge Concept previews larger Ford SUV for Europe Ford, just like all mainstream car makers, knows that the SUV and Crossover are fast becoming the transport of choice for families. So Ford has a plan to cover all the SUV bases with a range of new products that will sell in all Ford’s global markets. That includes the new Ford Kuga, the Fiesta-based Ford EcoSport and now this new Ford Edge which, although billed as a concept at the LA Auto Show, is very close to the new production Ford Edge that will be heading for sale in the UK and Europe late in 2014.

Video shows Audi R18 'long tail' e-tron quattro's blistering Monza run

Audi has had a pretty solid run at the 24 Hours of Le Mans over the past decade, but we're glad they keep pushing the envelope. That's how they keep devising road-going spaceships like the staggeringly fast R18 e-tron quatto equipped with a “long tail” aerodynamic package. This quick video of the “long tail” hybrid testing at Monza gives us a preview of what we can expect at Spa next month -- and hints at what we'll see at Le Mans in June.

NO Jaguar SUV says Ian Callum

NO Jaguar SUV says Ian Callum Jaguar design boss Ian Callum has stated that Jaguar are NOT planning an SUV but could build a crossover. Ever since Jaguar’s Brand Director Adrian Hallmark said that Jaguar needed a crossover there’s been much speculation (from Cars UK just as much as elsewhere, we confess) that a Jaguar SUV is in the planning, despite Land Rover’s pre-eminence in the field. But it looks like we should have listened more carefully to Adrian Hallmark, who actually said Jaguar “…need a crossover and we need to stop being a saloon-based company.” We all leapt on the ‘stop being a saloon-based company’ bit as confirmation an SUV is planned when Adrian actually meant a crossover and not a full-blown SUV.
