But in this profession to which I dedicate myself, if there is a maxim that one must always apply oneself, it is not to pay attention to prejudices, in the same way that one must not pay attention to pressures from the environment and brands. Otherwise, what's […]
It is in 1982 that appears for the first time in the range of the German manufacturer a "compact" sedan, according to the terminology of the brand. And it is that the W201, as it is known internally, is the smallest car to date of the brand of the star. One […]

Often, when we talk about a restyling we call it a facelift. In the case of the Q3 could not be more true, as almost all aesthetic changes focus on the front of the car. The bumper has new (fake) air intakes on each side of the "single frame" grille. […]
Today, we propose a little walk through these oddities, curiosities, through this Tokyo salon that is little talked about. In short, a walk through creativity. Ken Okuyama Kode9 Ken Okuyama is not a famous designer, although his works are. He worked for General […]

Fiat 500X 4×4 2.0 Multijet2 For the same reason we decided to ask Fiat for a 500X more similar to the one that, by volume, is having more success in sales, and that's how we ended up with the 4×2 120 hp diesel and manual we have today to tell you about, with […]
The intention of this writer is not to write a test of the Wrangler, but to write the best test of the Wrangler in Spanish (to achieve it is another thing). The two units tested are automatic transmission, on the one hand the 3.6 V6 Pentastar 284 hp (petrol) and […]
A car "for everything" and "for all budgets". The concept was imported as is to Spain, where SEAT produced it for more than a decade, first as the Panda, then as the Marbella. Re-discovering the promotional video of the car in its origins was a pleasant surprise […]
They managed to convince Fiat to let them have the original prototype of the Fiat Seicento designed by Dante Giacosa, manufactured in 1952. It is worth remembering that the final car was presented in 1955, as the tool that would revolutionize mobility in post-war […]

So, why do I come to you with this now? Well, it's a reflection that has been floating around in my head for several months, and I wanted to share it with you. It started with a suspension issue, but soon I realized that, really, it went much further than that. We […]
To tell the truth, those engines were already designed to be able to meet Euro 6 with minimal modifications, so why not do it that way from the start? It would be the most ecological thing for them to do, not to wait for the law to force them to do so, but we are […]
Most of them have disappeared and the few that are still active knew how to adapt to the times. AMG was bought by Mercedes, Brabus has commercial agreements with Smart and has reached the status of manufacturer and Rinspeed stopped preparing Porsche in Switzerland […]
Its lines and design made it a reference in its time, and today it is still admired and sometimes even more recognized than the cars it transported. Mercedes advertised it as "the fastest racing car transport truck in the world". Under its aerodynamic […]

A few years ago, when a car had the "Turbo" badge or designation, it was seen with a little more respect. Today that has already lost much value, as now even the 1.0 go with turbo, and it is no longer such a differential character. This time, I present the Hyundai […]

The concept didn't work, as I say. The market, always sovereign in these things, said that what they wanted were asphaltic crossovers, versatile as MPVs instead of SUVs closer to the TT. At Renault they've learned their lesson and have corrected the shot. As the […]
We knew it was coming yes, but that doesn't make it any less exciting: you can now choose either a DB11 with a 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12, or with the 4-litre twin-turbo V8 Mercedes-AMG. Is that a bad thing? It doesn't have to be. The new engine delivers 510 hp and […]

The Vanquish Zagato has virtually the same design as the prototype, and is powered by a 6.0 V12 with 600 bhp (572 bhp for the regular Vanquish), which allows it to reach 100 km/h in less than 4 seconds. The chassis is mainly carbon fibre, and the body panels have […]
The 1.5 TSI EVO produces 150 hp, making it the petrol alternative to the 2.0 TDI with the same power. If we exclude all sports and special versions of the Golf range, this is the "top of the range", and has as much horsepower as the fourth generation Golf GTI (1.8 […]

My love for Mazda is well known to all of you, but the rotary era came to an end with the demise of the RX-8 from the market. The general public lost interest in coupes, and added to that was the Wankel's perpetual reputation for being complicated, chugging engines. […]

Toyota took advantage of Fiat's non-renewal of its medium-duty van (MDV) agreement with PSA, an agreement dating back to the 1970s, to enter this segment with a much more modest investment. The French welcomed the Japanese with open arms, and the know-how of these […]
In 2008 Daimler launched the car2go service in the German city of Ulm, and now operates in 26 cities. The vehicles it operates are its own, either smart fortwo petrol or electric. PSA had a similar idea and set up Emov in Madrid. Now Renault is also planning to […]
