		<description><![CDATA[Next year Lexus will have a crack at the Audi A3 and BMW 1-series. You’ll see a concept version of the car at this autumn’s Frankfurt show. The big news is that, like the new RX SUV, it’ll be hybrid-only. Hybrid is to Lexus what high-boost diesel is to the Germans. Big performance, low thirst.

The basic structure of the current 430 is a modified version of the 360’s aluminium frame. But for the new car – name unknown – the structure [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=foreman.blogs.topgear.com&blog=4140443&post=928&subd=bbcforeman&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Then swallow hard at this super-luxo Lagonda Concept itself, a  posh BMW X6-alike which is deadly serious for production in 2012. Then prepare for another shock: it&#8217;s the sort of bastard half-cousin of a Mercedes GL.

This just dropped into Foreman’s inbox. Thought you’d like to see it ahead of the official reveal. It’s the Fiat 500 cabrio. Here’s the background.
Fiat was originally considering two possible designs for a soft-top. This one, which has a pair of fixed side rails, so it’s sorta like the original 500 or 2CV.

[EDITED VERSION 13 Feb] Renault will stop making the Laguna range when it reaches the end of its lifespan, to concentrate more on fuel-efficient small cars. It’s a complete admission of defeat: in 2006 it announced that it would launch five big cars by the end of 09. Instead it now has no firm long-term [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=foreman.blogs.topgear.com&blog=4140443&post=700&subd=bbcforeman&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

If you want to know what’s been ailing Saab all these years, today’s unveiling of the 9-3X wagon is a good place to start. Saab actually invented this car seven years ago. But GM bungling means it hasn’t been released until now.
I mean, the 9-3X is hardly a difficult car. It’s just the 4WD version [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=foreman.blogs.topgear.com&blog=4140443&post=688&subd=bbcforeman&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
