Good commercials, but a boring car

September 30th, 2009 Jim No comments

Below You will find new VW Polo commercials.

Considering their content, they are pretty nice to watch. In both cases VW is showing groups of young people. Talking about new way of living, style, mentioning ecology… Or showing the car to work like chick magnet :) Why do I post them here? What makes them worth mentioning along 500 other commercials. These 2 don’t fit the car at all. This is a VW – what means: it’s boring as watching polish soccer team play. Read more…

Ken Block at Colin McRae Dirt 2 game show

Ken Block does things his own way. When invited for new Colin McRae Dirt 2 game premiere – he didn’t just play along in front of the monitor. Players didn’t invite him to their digital world. He took some players to his world. Where the G-force and gravity are the game. It’s a real pleasure to watch their faces during the ride.

As usual… great to see Subaru Impreza STI at work. I just can’t wait to play the game. Enjoy the video below…

2009 Mazda 3 MPS

Cool design, good suspension and precise handling, 5 seats, over 200 BHP under the hood, 6.1 seconds from 0-62 mph and a maximum speed of 250 km/h (155 mph). Sounds like a good hot hatch definition. Some time ago this performance would mean… Porsche, or BMW M3. Now you get that in a compact class. And Mazda just updated their player in this segment: New Mazda 3 MPS just arrived.

Previous model (dated back in 2007) was pretty controversial. It had the same 260 BHP 2.3 liter engine as the new one. But users were complaining about the handling and fuel consumption. Read more…

Audi TT-RS

Audi TT-RS

Looks like Audi is not afraid of so called “world crisis”. What more: doesn’t seem to bother caring about brainwashed eco fashion. Their pretty expensive and well made cars are still selling good. And the company is trying to fill another niche on the market, presenting a new sporty model. There are rumours , that during the next Frankfurt Car Show Audi will show the RS3 model. It would be RS series smallest addition (along A4, A6 and TT). And finally a real deal hot hatch from Audi, that can probably spin this car segment a little. What is most interesting: the parameters of this hot hatch are pretty impressive.
