Jaguar now allows you to fully customise new XF. Right from the colour of your car - exterior as well as interior, the choice of leathers and veneers, the exact style and size of alloy wheel and other vehicle options. Check out "Design Your XF' to configure and price your XF.

Of course my choice was the costliest build - the XF SV8 4.2 S/C Petrol which starts from From £54,900.

I choose a silver coloured exterior. Any other colour makes it look cheap. Champagne/Truffle - Softgrain Leather Champagne/Truffle - Softgrain Leather for interiors and selected the following packages, options and accessories:

- Electric Glass Sunroof
- Electric glass sunroof with tilt/slide one touch operation
- Blind Spot Monitor
- Parking Aid with Rear Camera
- Parking aid with front sensors (includes Touch-screen visual indicator) and Rear - - Rich Oak Veneer
and last but not the least, the Garage Door Opener

The total price: £57,040

That's not too bad.

Honda FCX emits only water vapour

A car that only emits water vapour - this has been the dream of many people. People have proved it is possible but Honda has actually put a car on the road.



The Honda FCX Clarity is a “dedicated platform hydrogen fuel cell vehicle", that runs on electricity powered by hydrogen, and emits only water vapor and heat into the air.



Unlike hybrid car, it does not use gasoline and is therefore a Zero-Emission Vehicle (ZEV). The car is certified by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) as a Zero-Emission Vehicle (ZEV) and by the EPA as a Tier-2 Bin 1, the lowest possible federal EPA emission rating. It will also receive an EPA Inherently Low Emission Vehicle (ILEV) rating due to its entirely sealed fuel system.

Presently it only comes in one clour, Star Garnet, a unique deep-red tone.

It is certainly not aimed at motorheads who like powerful cars as the car only has a top speed of 100 miles per hour on a test track

Right now, they are not on sale and only a limited number of the FCX Clarity vehicles will be available for lease only in the Torrance, Santa Monica and Irvine areas in mid-2008. The lease should cost around $600 per month for three years (including maintenance).
