The X4 is the continuation of the story with the X6, with which BMW opened a new sub-segment of a crossover between an SUV and a sports coupe and now extends this concept to the mid-size class. Compared to its bigger brother, it has a few less noses, but it's still a feast for the eyes, and considering the similar spaciousness and usability, I would definitely prefer the first one.
Next summer, GM will offer buyers the super-capable CTS-V, which, with the same 6.2-liter supercharged V8 engine as we know from the Corvette Z06, will be a severe thorn in the fifth German holy trinity in the form of the BMW M5, Audi RS6 and Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S.
After less than two years and exceptional market success in certain Western European countries, the plug-in hybrid Outlander has found its way to this side of the Alps. The wording PHEV on the side and rear means the main distinguishing difference, and it means the plug-in hybrid version, which combines electric and gasoline drive, and the batteries can be charged (also) via a domestic socket.
Infiniti has revealed the concept vision study it developed together with Sony for the popular gaming franchise Gran Turismo. The Infiniti Vision Gran Turismo supercar can already be purchased for the Gran Turismo 6 game on the Playstation 3 gaming console.
The Tesla S has collected an extraordinary number of titles and prestigious awards in the last year. So it became the best car of the year, won the title of the most important car model of the last 20 years…. there are even more such and different titles, and practically all motoring newsrooms in the world agree that Tesla is today's insight into the future of motoring. So something is definitely changing thinking and views on the automotive industry. The Tesla S model has been present on Slovenian roads for a long time, but still unofficially. That's why we got it for testing by a specialist for the import of used vehicles to Slovenia - Autoborker.
Car manufacturers have always been scratching their heads with how to create the most economical and affordable car possible, and environmental controversies have only strengthened this. There are many ideas that go away from oil, but when we get to the lowest common denominator, that is, what is technically feasible, when the price is important, most concepts remain just that - a concept. That's why, instead of looking to the future, we looked to the past and the present and pulled out (also from mothballs) the most fuel-efficient cars we drive. Introducing
Best City Bikes of 2014 - There have been a lot of good bikes, but only a few can be the best city bikes of 2014. Cycling trends change very quickly and with demand growing, it seems like a new niche bike brand is around the corner every week. And if a few years ago, well-known brands dominated the market and dictated trends, 2014 is proof that the baton of innovation was taken over by smaller and (yet) unknown ones. In 2014, we devoted quite a few lines to such people at City Magazine.
Four-wheelers are a fixture at Lamborghini today, but when the LM002 dude SUV debuted in 1986, it was their first foray into the world of four-wheelers. Because it was a real beast (V12 engine), the title "Rambo Lambo" quickly caught on, and that was even before Sylvester Stallone came up with it. By the end of production in 1993, only a little over three hundred were built, so it is a real collector's item and one of them is going up for auction in January 2015.
Opel Corsa needs no further introduction to Slovenians, as it has been one of the best-selling models in the C-segment for decades, which is also eloquently demonstrated by the sales figures. 1,100 vehicles sold on average per year are big shoes that the fifth generation Corsa has just stepped into, and from what we've seen, it will be able to fill them.
For some time, the Mini Countryman has been considered the largest mini model, which can also satisfy the basic family needs and the customer's wishes for easier entry and higher seating. However, when the cooper SD ALL4 is added to its name, it means even more sporty driving, even off-road, and economical consumption.
You know - the time around Christmas is the one in which very special feelings arise in every individual. There is always something special and different in the air. And accordingly, the surprise that the representatives of Opel Slovenia prepared for us was when we received a bright yellow, but really bright yellow Opel Astro GTC for the "Christmas" test. One that hides almost 200 sparkly deer under the hood, but I'm sorry... horses. It seems that there really isn't that much of a difference between horses and deer. But there is a difference between the Opel Astra GTC and its conventional 5-door sister.
For next year, Audi is preparing a new generation of the largest SUV of the Q model family, which will surpass the first generation version both in terms of dimensions, technology and, thanks to a 325 kg lower weight, also in terms of economy and performance. Seven seats, quattro drive and S-tronic automatic will always be part of the standard equipment of the Audi Q7.
