Hi (members name),

With all the troubles Jaguar has suffered over the past few years, the introduction of a new model is a massively important event. The Jaguar XF, replacement for the S-Type, is therefore crucial for the company. David Morgan isn't completely convinced by the way it looks (despite everything Jaguar's chief designer Ian Callum has told him) but he does believe that under the skin it's a great car - as indeed it needs to be.

The new Audi A4, by contrast, is the best-looking car in its class, at least according to Mike Grundon, and it backs that up by being "a hugely desirable motorcar", stuffed full of technology and with enough engines in the range to satisfy nearly everybody.

Editor David Finlay been testing two Renaults recently, and they could hardly be more different. The Laguna Sport Tourer is a magnificently elegant large estate which feels like it costs more than it does, and is particularly appealing with a two-litre turbo diesel engine under the bonnet.
 
The Renault Twingo GT is the hot hatch version (or it will be until the Renaultsport version comes along) of the French manufacturer's new city car. It's very difficult to make something sporty out of a car this shape, but Renault has succeeded in no uncertain manner - the Twingo GT is about as much fun as a 100bhp hatchback possibly could be.
