Toyota Prius: Less polluting than a farting sheep
Toyota in Israel are running an advert showing that the average sheep’s fart is more polluting than the Toyota Prius. Regular readers know our point of view on the whole man-made global warming theory. Tosh. Utter tosh. But there’s a big industry grown up around the ‘Need’ to cut ‘Harmful’ carbon dioxide and other so called greenhouse gasses from […]
2011 Kia Picanto revealed
Kia has revealed the 2011 Kia Picanto, an all new car featuring the latest Kia design language and new engines. Will debut at Geneva and on sale by Easter 2011.

Mitsubishi i-MiEV: Lease & finance costs announced
Mitsubishi has released costs for leasing, buying and contract hire on the electric Mitsubishi i-MiEV, which becomes eligible for the £5k electric car subsidy this week.

Lexus GS 450h SE-L Review & Road Test (2010 / 2011)
This week see Lexus sending us their take on the Sports saloon – the Lexus GS 450h SE-L – for review and road test. Is a hybrid Sports Saloon a joke or a fact? Another week, another Lexus. Having decided to let us loose on their cars, Toyota has done so in spades. From the […]
Top Gear Christmas Special – Equality & Diversity remit fulfilled
Top Gear has fulfilled its remit on equality and diversity by offending both Muslims and Christians in its Christmas special.

BMW advert ‘burns’ BMW logo on to your eyelids
BMW are using an industrial-strength light flash – projected through a stencil – to ‘burn’ the BMW logo on cinema-goers eyelids. We’ve all done it – stared at the sun, closed our eyes and still been able to see a bright light. In fact, some of us have gone a bit further. I remember competitions to see […]
