Another part of the Aston Martin Rapide ‘adventures’

Monday, January 24th, 2011

aston martin rapide part 2 lead gloThe second part of the film presenting the Aston Martin Rapide is now released. Action of the second also takes place in Lisbon, but this time at night. Dirty people, dirty work - so it can be summarized. Aston Martin ventured up to the fight scene. Too bad that it looks so fake and unnatural.

I wonder what will happen, when the last part comes - Rapide will be distributed for free? Or Cygnet at least? I dont think that this movie impresses anyone. (more…)

Rover’s 55 mystery revealed after years

Monday, August 23rd, 2010

1997 rover 55 gloPictures of the concealed for the years concept Rover from 1997 appeared over the  Internet. The car was meant to be somewhat smaller than 75, but larger than the models  marked by symbols 25 and 45. Rover has called his project 55, but mainly for financial  reasons car never went into production, although the owner, BMW, associated Rover with  great hopes.

Unfortunately, I do not know anything about the units which were to drive the car. But I  am convinced that if the car was introduced to production, sales results would certainly  be better than Jaguar model 75, whose quality leaves much to be desired, and whose owners  could not afford a Jaguar, and wanted to have something better than Ford Mondeo.

Saab 9-5 Coupe - an interesting suggestion from fans

Sunday, August 22nd, 2010

saab 9 5 c gloNo, the Swedish manufacturer has no plans to  introduce the 9-5 Coupe model, but such a move  would rather not surprise anyone. This idea comes from Saab enthusiasts, and more  specifically from “Saabsunited” readers.

Generally speaking, whole looks at least good. Personally, I would make a few improvements,  such as: longer doors, more aluminum accents  and, the most important, larger alloy rims. (more…)

Rumors: Saab wants to return to the WRC

Sunday, August 22nd, 2010

saabwrc859345893 gloA number of legendary brands in their history  encountered very serious problems, some of them  consequently fall, while others bounce off the  bottom and soar to the heights. Saab  manufacturer is certainly not in the first  group we include, but not yet classifies the  latter. Bosses recipe of success is to return  to the roots, high-quality, new range of models  and finally perform in the WRC.

You do not have to clean up your monitor -  Swedes actually set themselves the task of  returning to world-class racing, and it is  already set for the 2012 with the model of 9-2  and 9-1. For those less informed, I was wrong  in writing about its return, because Saab has  already appeared in the WRC, in 1976. (more…)

How to deal with hooligans damaging cars in the streets? [VIDEO]

Sunday, August 22nd, 2010

figtstreet3549 gloYou know what I dislike the most? Suckers who  destroy cars. While driving, sometimes there  are “incidents” that require a baseball bat.

Imagine the following situation: You go quietly  by car, and all of a sudden you see a group of  five idiots who are on the street begin to dig  and destroy your car. Probably most people  would drive away, not so much out of fear for  their own teeth, but the legal consequences in  case of confrontation. (more…)

German giant Volkswagen has completed yet another invasion

Sunday, August 22nd, 2010

golf142784728 gloGerman Volkswagen’s just completed the buyback of the famous Italian design studio Italdesign  Giugiaro (IDG). Volkswagen Group with its  Italian utility, the Lamborghini brand, has  acquired 90.1% share of the Giugiaro family  design studio, the rest of the revenue remains  in the family of the founders.

IDG has had a few very successful projects for  Volkswagen, such as the VW Porsche Tapiro  Concept and Audi A5. VW Group takes over,  aiming for a global unification, which does not  bode well. Not everyone wants his car looked  like Audi or Volkswagen, and certainly not fans  of Alfa Romeo… (more…)
