look out, it's Nm, not lb-ft!

It's roughly the same setup as in the V40, but with one extra settings - predictably its the Hybrid setup. This is the three settings of the V40:

You know a V60 Hybrid has 285 HP and 640 Nm torque? It's a genuinely quick and powerful car a Prius doesn't even come close. However, the Volvo is a good bit more expensive too, so it's not the Prius we're talking about here, its more like Lexus hybrids.

I did that once: pure electric drive RWD wagon on ice.

I wonder if you are getting the Hybrid? That would be awesome - it's a diesel hybrid.

I have no problem whatsoever with the car, it's a lovely SAAB 900 convertible with a turbo and a manual, i could even imagine myself driving it, and enjoying the experience. But $22.000? That's money i can see much better uses for, even if it has to be a well-preserved, historically important, open-top motorcar with a…

Land Rover does offer "a luxurious, well-working, off roader with estate car practicality"

small car, small wheels, smart solution

I sure hope mine will look something like this. A classic porsche on modern rubber and in good upkeep can easily outlast the owner. Or alternatively, if you feel you're in for a long and messy affair with a terminal illness: exit stage left in a ball of fire.

The Smart ForFour. It was a good small hatchback, with bright ideas and nice design touches - but cool or hip it wasn't. No wonder only few found it compelling enough to fork out the high price that Dr. Daimler asked for it back then.

Have you seen the price tag on an Audi R8 lately? Now that's annoying.

Predictive driving - hope for the best, plan for the worst.

There is one problem with a tiered licence system: it makes you pay more for the licence. I'm not saying driving is a right (it isn't), but any such legislation restricts, even if in a small way, one's chance to climb the social ladder. Also, first you have to have a meaningful testing procedure. Very few countries…

I have to say i'm perfectly OK with Top Gear going on with these three as long as they want to, and will watch every episode they churn out no problem, because i love it as it is. I still think though, that you miss the point Travis.

I love the C6, but an auto convertible is the perfect choice. Preferably in red.

The only car i've driven from this list is the R8, same engine and on a track too. You will not be disappointed, if you go for that. However, from what i gather about the others: I would not go for the SLS, it's too brutal, more of a toy, than a real track car. Also the California, that's not a real contender either,…

And you would be wrong. We had one for two months around here, and all my male colleagues had them ladies looking at them like the were selling puppies.

Look at the center screen in the A-Class. It is one single step away from being a proper everyday tablet you can take wherever you want to, play, surf and facebook like you do on every other tablet, but can also hook up onto your dashboard and run apps that control the HVAC, the radio and the trip computer. And this…

As an admirer of all thing RWD, '80s and European, i would say you chose wisely. There's every reason to love the fast RWD Fords of that era, and i too fail to see why your logic connecting this to and Escort RS Cosworth wouldn't work... except for the lack of 4WD. And a Cosworth motor. And the proper Sierra RS full…

I know that. What i meant is that this is a two seater sports car, that emulates a Ferrari, but is cheaper. Like, a used Ferrari. And which one came with a robotized manual, that is now cheap enough to be an alternative to this? The 360.
