The 2012 BMW M5 is something of an anomaly. Despite its size and weight, the big luxury sedan is actually quicker than its less corpulent sibling, the BMW M3, around a road course.

True, that price doesn't include the battery pack, but that can be leased for just €45 ($67) a month. The diminutive EV sits somewhere in-between a neighborhood electric vehicle (NEV) and a full-fledged, highway-capable machine. W
Does a Jaguar crossover make sense? If you're Adrian Hallmark, Jaguar's Global Brand Director, it certainly does. Speaking to Autocar, Hallmark said that Jaguar "needs a crossover and needs to stop being a saloon-based company."
