Volvo’s brief is far interesting than the other two (makes me really curious) – but what’s the context of these 3?

It’s nice to see Volvo and Toyota concentrate on cleaner burning and more efficient cars. It’s what the market demands due to gas costs.

Comment on Car tech: Ford announces 1-litre Focus as ST goes global by Kevin Joyce

I had a 1993 Daihatsu Charade GTti. It had been in production since 1987. It produced 99bhp from a 993cc 3 cylinder engine and had a 0-60 of 7.8 secs. It was turbo’d and intercooled. Ford rock…but Daihatsu did it 25 years earlier. Granted, emissions weren’t even measured then, so I cannot comment, but the basic engine (minus turbo) now sits in the C1/Aygo etc.

I agree with Roz they can make great gifts and rarely drop in value. A friend of mine recently bought his wife a K155 style plate for her birthday and it looks great on their car.

It’s so disappointing that the Focus ST is losing the 5-cylinder engine, but I still have faith that Jost Capito and his team will do a good job with the new car.

Comment on 25 years of the M25: Fascinating Facts by Sam Hey

There always seems to be never ending roadworks on the M25, and instead of traffic congestion improving its getting worse. The M25 is simply a nightmare and one to avoid if possible.

Gallardo is a spanish word, therefore you would pronounce it as if you were speaking spanish. In romance languages the ‘v’ is often pronounced with a harder sound, which is why it sounds like a ‘b’.

When non-english speaking companies make cars, they’re not required to use english words when naming them.

Comment on That’s one way to sell your car… by Clare Carney

Hi Robert,

Fraudulent adverts are placed by thieves posing as sellers, often involving a hoax vehicle at a bargain price, a faulty phone number and demands to transfer money abroad. You shoudl be cautious if 1) A vehicle is much cheaper than its market value 2) If a seller cannot give you a landline telephone number 3) If the advert or subsequent emails are full of spelling mistakes and poor grammar. For more information check out our safety and security pages: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/safety_and_security/

And if you think you’ve been targeted by a fraudster, contact Auto Trader’s Safety and Security team immediately by emailing feedback@autotrader.co.uk or calling 0845 071 0487.

Dear Auto Trader users,

I was looking to buy a Hybrid car and came across an advert some one selling a Toyota Prius 2008 for £4000. I was a but suspicious at first but replied to the advertiser on the web site on the advert. He said he cannot take any calls now. I got a reply and to cut the long story short; he said he is in Spain due to loosing his job and his car is crated to be shipped to a buyer in the UK. He also have 2008 Audi Estate car for the same price and I replied to this advert with a different name and my other email. Surprisingly enough I receive the same reply to this one also from the same guy. Did anyone else have the same experience?

Robert
