The 355 for sure helped Ferrari spreading the image of a brand ahead of its time in technical assessments (F1 electrohydraulic gearbox, Pininfarina wind-tunnel-sculpted design) but not interested in long-term reliability and maintenance cost lowering...it’s a pity because it was (and is) a very impressive car, known…

Great testing of this Citroen, so useful to make the Citroen brand re-gain the Americans’ attention; everyone who drives this car would love the comfort, the “aplomb” of this machine, its peculiar design cues taken directly from the almighty and beloved DS...they thought it could sell, but unfortunately here in Europe…

Jus a little sad realizing I'm just a year younger than DeMuro and one year ago he was looking for a Ferrari to buy...a thing I can't even dream of.

No one's gonna miss it. They didn't manage to sell it here in Europe neither: people prefers to go for a Smart (always favoured by the Mercedes-Benz allure...you buy one in Mercedes dealers and it was always seen as a chic micro car) or go for a supermini like Yaris or Nissan Micra or Honda Fit or Fiat Panda/500 etc,…

What he told is that Lancia is going to be sold in Italy only...right now they can sell just the small Lancia Y, being the Thema, Flavia and Voyager rebadged Chrysler 300c and Town&Country that no one here in It. wants to touch...a long time ago there were great cars like the Thema (the original one sold during the…

Sadly a brand that is now near to its death...

OMG I live in Italy and I feel lucky for NOT having already found out the Infiniti was making such a hideous thing! Damn, what a horrible..."thing"....can't describe it better, as "car" is a far too polite word for it. The Lexus one here in Europe is sold with a Toyota badge which at least means it hasn't got the…

CVR and FDR found, it seems.

61-70% Jalop with my Land Rover Freelander from 1999, powered by the monstrous 97 (!) bhp Rover Turbo Diesel Engine...absolutely not bad!

Exactly what I thought...Aerodynamic stall should not be confused with engines stall, the first being the result of an excessive angle of attack during a steep climb -a possibility of what happened to the AirAsia aircraft, as suggested in the article.

It looks like VW is concentrating on making cars which are more suitable for Europe rather than the USA...so why on Earth did they come up with those figures in 2012?!

Absolutely loved reading this well written, in-depth analysis of what pilots have in front of their eyes when they fly an aircraft...thank you for the article! Great Job!

Thank you very much for you kind reply, I'll try to see if this "Air disaster" volume set is available even here in Italy (...this gives me the occasion to excuse me for my English, if something I write seems unclear it's because I'm not an English native speaker)...I would really like to read those books.

Just wondering...as far as you know these pitot probes, the ones installed on the A320 which probably froze on the Air Asia flight, are the same ones installed on the A330? I ask because as far as I know after the AF447 crash report the mandatory actions taken regarded only the Airbus A330 fleet -which of course was…

This a vehicle that looks the part but...at 48k aren't you allowed to expect more?

So the times were creativity wasn't restricted by regulators, Euro NCAP tests, etc has given us great design masterpieces like this one...such a pity they'll never come back...

The Testarossa had an astoundingly wonderful design which makes it unmistakably one of the most gorgeous cars in the whole automotive history. And yes, if the eighties were all about showing how rich you were and how fast you were going...this one and cars like the Porsche 911 Turbo, the Lamborghini Countach, the…

Well, I don't think ALL Mercedes or BMW are exactly that well made (think about the gi-normous amount of turbos blown in BMW engines...I'm talking about the diesel units which are so popular here where I live)...I mean, every car has got its issues, niggles, flaws etc...for sure car journalists, having tried -as you…

First: absolutely love how you write and talk about cars!

And we can't forget that nowadays most of the SUV have to be marketed as "sporty" cars in order to sell and this means they end be equipped with tyres with a very low profile and way too big alloy wheels...which, as we all know, is really really the optimum...will the vat majority of buyers change that tyres and…
