We landed ourselves a drive with the new Jaguar F-Type, apparently we being the first media to try it out on UAE roads. This is the first Jaguar we’ve brought home in years, aside from the one we bought recently, although if memory serves us right, they’ve never built anything like it in decades.

Lexus has just released the first photos and details about their 2014 GX 460 midsize 4×4. Based on the Toyota Prado, all mechanical bits seem to be carried over unchanged, but it now benefits from more unique new face to replace the older model’s boring front end.
