FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK

Friends,

Are we the first to let you know the details and show the pictures of Peugeot's all-new 1007? We'd like to believe we are first, yet again!

You will notice plenty of news has come along this week. With the market hotting up as it crosses the half-way line for this years sales battle, you can expect as much news next week, too!

I'll be keen to see Ford's announcement on their Territory's first month of sales. Regular readers will be well aware that we have suggested several times that Ford have chosen a winner with the Territory. But are we right or wrong? We will all find out in just a few days time!

Warm regards,
Stephen Walker

    EDITOR'S
    PICK OF THE WEEK

    After reading the news of the week, which story did you enjoy the most?

    Like it or not, we need to find a way to use less fuel.
