Not that it will go anywhere near off-road

2008-10-15T11:38:36Z

2008-10-04T22:39:19Z

Opel has launched the estate version of its Insignia saloon at the Paris Salon. It’s a smart-looking vehicle and if Holden New Zealand wasn’t such a bunch of idiots treating consumers as shoppers at the Warehouse, we’d have it, too, and the compan...

I want a Renault Mégane Coupé

2008-10-03T13:57:43Z

I want one of these. Based on the styling alone, I want one of these. And you know, with all the cars I can drive, it takes a lot for me to lust after a car. I already own a Mk I Mégane Coupé and since Renault did not make a Mk II (at least ...

2008-09-25T08:25:19Z

After writing Tuesday's post about French reading, I started to think further about the many, many books that have popped up in the last five years--almost exclusively for women-- about "being French." This isn't a new cultural phenomenon for A...
