One model seems to buck the trend, and that's the BMW 2 Series Active/Gran Tourer. BMW's seemingly worst idea - a front-wheel drive MPV - is doing better commercially than the segment's heavyweights. Only the Volkswagen Touran - which benefits from the novelty […]
Who in their right mind would give up on such a sweet-toothed segment? As much as it is a segment hated by many - and by extension any SUV segment - we have to understand the reasons that have led to this change in tastes, even if we don't share them. When there […]
There are versions of the Polo for almost every taste, from the humble basic 60 hp and Edition finish, to the 192 hp GTI. I'll be analysing it from the point of view of a young man who uses this car for his regular journeys, a circumstance I've simulated with great […]

The figure "540" comes, as usual in the brand, from the power of the engine. It's 540 hp at 7,500 rpm - and 540 Nm of maximum torque - from the 3.8 V8 biturbo engine. That's enough horsepower to reach 320 km/h, or 200 km/h in just 10.5 seconds. Again, this is its […]

The 3008 GT is quickly distinguished by the specific wheel arches and 235/50 R19 tyres as standard, with two-tone Boston diamond rims. This and the engine is the only thing that changes dynamically, and Peugeot does not detail changes in suspension, chassis or […]
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a torque vectoring limited slip differential, meaning the wheel with more grip gets more torque. So much muscle allows it to do a 0-60 mph time of just 4.2 seconds and reach a top speed of 250 mph. The braking system consists […]

Citroën's strategy is the same, but different from that of the other automotive groups. Today, the market is made up of cloned cars, with shared platforms and sometimes overlapping approaches. Citroën, despite following the same course, does so with an unconventional […]
It was a pure car. Its engine vibrated, its steering was harsh, as was the clutch. When you drove it, it bounced and even became a bit uncomfortable, but it brought out the best in you, it got you involved in the driving, it became addictive, it made you smile […]
But Dieter Zetsche, the CEO of Daimler, is not the only one to envy the other two figures. The challenge Zetsche faced when he took the reins at Daimler in 2006 was enormous. Mercedes-Benz had lost its global premium market leadership, customers were complaining […]

The history of Almussafes It must have sounded strange to someone that this is the second Ford plant in Spain. Back in 1907, Ford already had a dealership in Cadiz, where it sold the Ford T in a wide range of colours... as long as it was black. As sales were going […]
Initially built to demonstrate Porsche's technological superiority, the 959 used all the brains available in the R&D department at the time. This high-tech achievement influenced the entire 911 lineage for the next 20 years, allowing the timeless 911 to remain […]

A few hours ago the Alpine Vision Show Car was presented in the Principality of Monaco. If we remember, this brand was born in 1955 and was present in the market until 1995, with real sports cars that made us sigh. Even in Spain, the FASA Renault factory produced […]
It does so with a somewhat shorter than usual delivery, and that is because we already told you the complete history of the model here yesterday, so we can skip that part. Design Simple and with a retro touch, trying to be similar to the Lotus Elan. We told […]
Certainly, the design of the device is not "rapturous", but it does represent a breath of fresh air in an industry where the main players have been the same for a long time. The firm, reborn with a new headquarters in Stuttgart, still does not explain in detail […]

But they lacked an international identity. This was the beginning of the Japanese obsession in the eighties to get into any kind of international competition. It could be F1, where Honda had been participating for years, it could be Le Mans, or it could be rallying. Nissan […]
In order to solve this curiosity, we have spent some time compiling data in a table and making mathematical combinations to meet two criteria before drawing conclusions (some of them obvious, others not so intuitive at first). The first table I want to show […]
But let's start at the beginning: To create this BMW M4 rival, the guys at AMG have resorted to a complete redesign of the bodywork. Only the outer door panels are shared. The rest of the body panels that you can see and touch on the outside of the car are specific […]
I was able to test both the six-speed manual version and the seven-speed automatic (S tronic). Later I'll get my hands on more interesting versions, although less commercial. In fact, the Audi A4 is one of the few sedans in its segment that opt for V6 engines, […]

It's called 488 Spider (quite predictable, isn't it?) and keeps the convertible hardtop already seen in the 458 Spider, adding the body design of the revamped 488, and its supercharged engine with turbochargers (two), delivering 670 horsepower to the rear wheels. Curiously, […]
Later came the Cayman GT4 equipped exclusively with a manual gearbox. This limited series was intended primarily for North America and Asia, where there is not so much snobbery with the Cayman or Boxster (unlike Europe) and where they prefer their sports cars with […]

In theory, the ideal line for a curve is to reduce speed, reach the tangential point while maintaining speed, and then accelerate smoothly. In this way, the centrifugal force disturbs the car's balance less. The GVC takes care of just that, transparently to […]
In the field of aesthetics has also been heavily influenced by maintaining an elegant discretion, a taste of "quality car". But you know: "Something is changing at Mercedes-Benz", and not only with the appearance of the compact range, but it is spreading to the […]

The German compact resorts to the same trick as the Renault Mégane RS Trophy-R, dispensing with the rear bench, as well as numerous insulating material. The tyres are 19-inch semi-slick, signed by Michelin. This record is less meritorious than Honda's, as this […]
The Toyota Supra A70 lost the name Celica, as the two previous generations were the top of the range Celica. In 1986 the range was split in two, leaving on the one hand the front-wheel drive Celica, and on the other hand the Supra with rear-wheel drive and longitudinal […]
From there, you know the story, he jumped to Formula 1, where his cars won two constructors' and two drivers' titles, establishing the mid-engine as the "must have" option for racing cars. It would be unfair to describe the Cooper as the first mid-engined racing […]

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 […]
So, cooking for me is an ordeal, because no matter how good the food is, I have this horrible and disgusting habit of taking out some but. That if a little oregano wouldn't have been bad for it. I wonder if I should try adding avocado. That if raw, that if cold... […]

Volkswagen did not officially comment on what Sueddeutsche Zeitung had said. Again, as I stressed days ago, it is impossible for them not to know whether this was the case or not. Volkswagen, for all its talk of transparency, is still not saying a word about […]

The new BMW X1 makes use of BMW's UKL1 platform, the same one used by the 2 Series Active Tourer, the MINI F56, and the future 1 Series. So yes, it moves to transverse engines and front-wheel drive (or all-wheel drive, depending on versions). But while fans may […]
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. […]
