Since when is Steve Sutcliffe working for Autoexpress?

He must have moved from Autocar to Autoexpress, there have been no reviews/columns on Autocar from him for some time, instead he is now writing for Autoexpress.

I am glad to see him making driving videos again on Autoexpress, I think he is quite entertaining certainly was the best driver when at Autocar. I do think Autocar is a bit lackluster now that he left.

Autocar and Sutcliffe - that was an institution! Sutters was Autocar. The rest of them are plonkers.

Sutters should've gone to EVO dammit. Or maybe he has in a way given that AE and EVO are sister publications under the Dennis fold.

Martin that would have been fantastic if he went to EVO. Sutters is one of my favourite car journos, many years he was the reason why I always bought Autocar, they were the best UK magazine when him and Chris Harris were there and always giving thrilling and entertaining driving reviews, track tests and comparisons. I really like him cause i feel he is honest and not biased.

Ok back to this comparison, I do like both of these cars a lot. The RS4 still looks classy and butch, although not a classic like the previous version. It still has a great sounding engine with a lot of character, probably will be the last NA high rev motor to be installed in one of these compact executives. Next model maybe follow M3 and M4 and have a boring 3.0 TT V6 instead of a fantastic V8. It is starting to age now especially the interior.

The C63.....mmmmmm what a fantastic car, great looks, discreet a little but still looks muscular, awesome engine which still has loads of character despite been a turbo and then the interior, love the seats and steering wheel. I probably like the estate much better than the saloon.

I have problem with the new C-class. Everytime I see the new C-class and most of them are with AMG styling. I'm fooled everytime. I always go, there ,,there is the new C63 and then it turns out to be normal C-class. Thats the main problem , its do darn similar to the normal C-class.

Previous generation was much easier to spot the differences.
