Full summary
Renault puts space first
Renault’s e-space concept prompts debate about adaptable interiors, family needs and whether practical design matters more than fashionable SUV styling.
Denza and urban driving
Denza’s proposed urban assistance raises questions about driver responsibility, trust in AI and coping with unpredictable road users.
Citroen revisits the 2CV
Electric concepts revive familiar shapes, but David and Paul argue that nostalgia needs affordability, comfort and everyday usefulness to find a broad market.
Keeping motoring history alive
Historic motoring awards highlight youth and restoration skills. The discussion explores originality, concours judging and the human stories that give cars meaning.
Marketing with a wink
An MX-5 that “goes green” and playful details on Citroen’s concept show how marketing mixes clever wording, nostalgia and a sense of humour.
Visionary or design nightmare?
From the Citroen DS and NSU Ro80 to unusual sliding doors, daring designs reveal the tensions between innovation, appearance, reliability and commercial survival.
MG IM5 road test
The electric sedan impresses with its styling, acceleration and handling. Screen controls and intrusive cruise control temper enthusiasm for its performance and value.
