90 grand is a lot of money for what’s, in its essence, a BMW 5 Series saloon. But then this is no ordinary saloon car. The new2018 Alpina B5 Bi-Turbo is, in the tuner’s own words, the most affordable200 mph production car in the UK. Now that is some good justification! We have to point out the£89,000 is for the2018 Alpina B5 Bi-Turbo sedan. The Estate version kicks off at£91,000. But as you may have already guessed, it is the fastest wagon out there.

It is also capable ofgenerating 670 Nm (494 lbft) of torque, swelling ...

Well, you don’t need to strain your mind anymore trying to envision what the new2019 Volkswagen Jetta will look like.

Not that we were expecting some revolutionary new design or some extraordinary feature. But the2019 Volkswagen Jetta does not appear to different enough from the existing model to justify the title of ‘new’. In faiess though, they seem to have tried to include some of the design cues from the sexy Arteon into the Jetta, especially around the front and rear fascia. That means even thou...

The upgrades are meant to make the old Jeep ready for the future. In spite of that,2018 Jeep Wrangler still looks pretty much the same as did back in WWII, and it still has a ladder chassis. Both of those things are good. You wouldn’t want the iconic Wrangler to let go of its awesome traditional look in favor of some fancy schmancy new design and become yet another faceless SUV. And you don’t want it go with a unibody build because you expect it to be a proper, full-blo...
