German automaker Volkswagen is celebrating its 70th anniversary, and we were sent a brief history of the company that Hitler once controlled. It was once a “people’s car” company, and remains so in Europe, but not exactly around here. Shown above is their latest Golf prototype, packing a 650 hp W12.
Everyone rags on woman drivers. Here’s a video of a completely avoidable mishap in Europe.
As the world knows by now, Oman and Iran has suffered greatly from the onslaught of Cyclone Gonu. Lives were lost and homes were destroyed. It never did reach our base in Dubai, though it probably could’ve washed away the nonsense littering our beaches, also known as The Palm Islands, with a little more force. Anyway, knowing that Oman and Iran have suffered worse disasters than this before, we are sure they will get back on their feet in no time at all.
A few weeks ago, Saab revealed some shots of simply the front end of their 9-3 sedan. The new front end has been applied to the convertible model too, but it seems that changes are actually very few. So 2008 models get the new front and colourless tail-lights, with no other noticeable changes.
We picked up this BMW 335i Coupe for our latest test, after BMW was the only company to grant our request for an extended 4-day test on this weekend slot. They even home-delivered it, which no one else does. And we have to say, this thing is seriously cool. Flame surfacing may have ruined the looks of other Bimmers, but it works perfectly on this one.
We bring you the first pictures of the 2008 Renault Laguna. Undoubtedly, it is extremely eye-catching, even if it will be a total flop in the Middle East. Still worth a look for its design alone.
The redesigned 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe has received the Z71 off-road package, which more or less improves the Tahoe’s capabilities in the middle of nowhere.
Most of you have seen drifting videos from Japan and Europe, featuring all the regular ho-hum rear-wheel-drive cars. Well, here’s one from somewhere in Europe, where a truck shows some BMWs how to do it right.
The all-new 2007 BMW X5 will be offered with an optional sports kit that includes all-round skirts, 19-inch or 20-inch wheels and sports seats, among other items.
Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen have locally launched new trim levels for two of their existing models.
