This autumn Mercedes is due to introduce the new GLK, a real angular offroader based on the C Class.

The Saab 9-3 Aero XWD Station Wagon


With its new XWD technology for the 9-3 series, Swedish carmaker Saab is beginning a new era.

Short trips, errands and getting around on your own. These are excellent examples of when a scooter can come in handy. After all, an automobile is not always necessary. Are the two-wheelers really a more environmentally friendly alternative? And are they really cheaper to operate? We put four models to the test: the classic Vespa LX125, the comfortable Piaggio Beverly GT, the Honda Zoomer and the electric-powered E-Max S2000.examine it! A Garage for Deaf Mechanics


In Antonio Pastore’s body shop and garage in the town of Korschenbroich, the staff have learned to communicate without words. Pastore employs two young mechanics-in-training who are also deaf.

Customers have also become accustomed to expressing themselves without words. drive it! went to visit an unusual garage. compare it! Ford Mondeo vs. Renault Laguna


Two mid-size sedans face off. They look so much alike you could almost mistake one for the other, but the Ford Mondeo and the Renault Laguna revealed quite different driving characteristics. The interior of the Ford is technically slick, but has a nearly endless number of functions. The Laguna, on the other hand, is a little more user-friendly, instead offering a whole lot of extras – for a price. vintage: For the Love of Minis


In 1996, Hans-Peter Krechel purchased a red Mini from a local dealership – and fell in love. Ever since, he and the members of his family have been collecting them. Krechel has customized Minis, ones that have been converted into trucks...he even has a Mini sofa in his living room! But even ‘Mini-Peter’ is choosy. He just isn’t interested in the new version made by BMW. He only likes the ‘old’ style Mini.
