Mercedes-Benz E-Class 2010 wagon revealed


The latest 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan is probably the ugliest iteration of the German firm’s legendary bestseller. Indeed, no one expected the new-generation model’s Estate wagon version to look any better either. And they were right.

VW Eos White Night edition embarrasses itself


It has always been obvious that Volkswagen’s designers have no creativity whatsoever, coming up with boring cars and hoping the marketing department can trick naive people into thinking they are cool.
