Volvo has released video of the 2010 / 2011 Volvo S60 ahead of the official launch at the Geneva Motor Show in a few months. We first got the new Volvo S60 tease nearly a year ago, and rather unkindly we speculated that the production car would look nothing like the concept. It looked far […]
Who got a MINI for Christmas, then?
MINI has run an Ad campaign in the Netherlands featuring an empty MINI ‘Box’ at the side of the road. It’s a familiar sight at this time of the year. Rubbish bags piled up at the side of the road (look out – they’ll fine you) surrounded by packaging from Christmas gifts. And most of us don’t […]
