Meanwhile, since this is the real world, the British at Jaguar-Land Rover have announced their new Vice Presidents, the ones that are supposed to take over operations
Not that long ago, people used to make fun about how the British manufacturers forgot to stop making or update their cars.

Mini had been working on a rally version of the Countryman for quite some time and while we’ve even seen it revealed already but it’s not the end of the story. Seems partnerships change even when it comes to the World Rally Championship as the British got in a bit over their head.

Jaguar is a British brand, so selling in the UK isn’t a problem, their cars are are reasonably good and helped along by the patriotism of the UK motorists. In the U.S. however, British brands don’t really have that powerful a brand image and a reasonably good car isn’t really enough to impress.
The British are deceitful. It seems that after Aston Martin told us the Lagonda would be a proper four door supersports saloon, we’re now back to the SUV. That’s right folks, the Aston Martin Lagonda has been confirmed for production and it’s going to be the hideous SUV that was revealed at the Geneva Motor
The Bavarians have been busy and we’ve clearly spotted some of their efforts out in the wild with spyshots of the BMW i3 and BMW i8 in testing. Situation is, BMW may have had a lot of work to put in but when it came to picking the crop it turned out to be even
The British at Aston Martin have made plenty of beautiful cars throughout their history and their DB9 is the darling of the UK market. But when you’ve achieved this much with your past and present, it’s easy to see how one company could feel the pressure of the future. What isn’t easy to see is
We were told it was coming, we even had a preview of the Rolls Royce 102 EX and with the Geneva Motor Show starting for 2011, we finally got to meet it. Yes, boys and girls, the battery powered version of the Rolls Royce Phantom has come among us. Well, in concept form at least

The Japanese at Honda have clearly realized that the British are getting rather bored about their offerings in the United Kingdom. It’s this assessment that made Honda release a BTCC inspired tuning kit for the Civic. Sadly, in their infinite wisdom they decided to make this kit a limited edition.
In what’s something rather unexpected from McLaren, the high performance British company has turned its attention towards Nascar. They’ve done so that much that starting Nascar’s 2012 season, the brits at McLaren will be seen on the supplier lists.
We know the British BMW sub brand has pretty big expansion plans, we’ve seen their new creations at motor shows such as Detroit or about to be released at events such as Geneva, we know they’re working on stuff. When a car maker is working on something, in its late stages of development there’s a

Mini’s latest release effort has quite the promise for the people who actually buy it, not just those who fancy the trend. That’s the true bonus you get with the JCW package. The Mini JCW package offers a new level of tune to the car’s performance, particularly to the hottest versions in the lineup of
Formula 1 is getting tougher and tougher to understand these days but this bit of news does feature quite a reasonable translation possibility. Lotus-Renault is the team that’s actually helped along by the actual British manufacturer at Lotus and not just another team with legal rights of a name.
You’d imagine that the British at Jaguar would have had their hands full when designing the new XJ and their anniversary concept but more often than never, they had some spare time. It’s in that free time of their the company’s engineers and designers came up with the idea of reviving their smallest product, the
The British motor industry seems to be in quite a lot of buzz at the beginning of this year we call 2011. Not only have they announced the Mini Coupe and Paceman coming into production soon, we’ve now also got word on how the chaps at Noble will do the same for their M600 in
