Chevrolet Cruze Estate: The Cruze Station Wagon arrives

It's a Chevy Estate - the new Chevrolet Cruze SW The first photo of the Chevrolet Cruze Station Wagon – the Cruze Estate – has been revealed ahead of a launch at next month’s Geneva Motor Show. Smallish Estate cars are not exactly something that floats the average American car buyer’s boat. But it’s a different story in Europe, which explains why GM has decided to bolt a small shed on the back of the Cruze to deliver the Chevrolet Cruze Station Wagon for us ‘Old Continent’ car buyers.

Essex boost for car loving home buyers

An Essex council is to make garages and drives bigger on new homes For most of the last decade the UK Government has waged a war on the motorist. Endless speed cameras, which are in reality just tax-raising  machines and have little to do with road safety; never-ending fuel tax rises; congestion charging; spiralling parking charges; road-charging schemes and the only coppers you see have a speed gun so non-speeding untaxed and uninsured drivers never get caught -  pushing up costs for the rest of us. But one of the most stupid, head-in-the-sand policies was the idea that new houses should encourage people to forsake their cars by making garages too small and off-street parking almost non-existent.

MINI Roadster / Speedster spied

The MINI Roadster caught on a poster at a MINI 50th Event We had a whole heap of information earlier on this week on the MINI Coupe Concept that BMw are bringing to Frankfurt. But we had nothing on the MINI Roadster / Speedster, even though we know that MINI has produced a roofless version of the MINI Coupe. But a quick witted visitor managed to grab a snap of the poster you see above at a MINI 50th private party, which at least proves that the MINI Speedster is coming to the party in Frankfurt next month.
