test driver died on autobahnYou know that once in a while sad events do happen and that’s the case for today’s news from the auto world. The auto manufacturers always have test drivers and being one is fun but in other cases it can even kill you so that’s why, being a test driver goes in the dangerous jobs section; There are lots of risks involved!

Volkswagen’s envy on Dacia’s success – Can they outsell the competition?

cheap cars from the competitionSince Dacia is a huge success with its cheap cars such as the Logan, Sandero or Duster, the german auto manufacturer Volkswagen, decided to declare war to Dacia by producing their own cheap models at awesome small prices that’ll be between 5000 and 8000 euros. The fact that Dacia sold lots of its cars in Germany bothered Volkswagen because it affected their sales.

With the global economic crisis, people can’t afford a very expensive car but they still need one that can do its job: To take them safely, from point A to point B even if it’s not a supercar!

So, if people still need cars but cheap ones, it’s good that the auto manufacturers are trying to produce low cost cars with low fuel consumption and low prices when it comes to car maintenance.

vladimir putin's new presidential limousineThe pimped out presidential limousine from Zil looks like a massive studio flat on wheels and yeah, that’s the main idea when you think about a presidential limousine for which is shown a great car care, because it has to transport the russian president Vladimir Putin.

Zil was founded in 1916 and besides trucks, offroad vehicles and others, Zil also produces hand-built limousines and luxury sedans as you can see from the photos but in a small number, usually being produced only for the russian government. Think about the fact that a presidential limousine like Zil has a huge acquisition cost just like Maybachs, Rolls Royces or Bentleys.
