First it was Sweden with their bespoke and mind- warpingly quick Koenigsegg. But at least that was plausible, given Sweden’s long-standing stake in the automotive industry. Now it’s Denmark’s turn, with a car more powerful than the Bugatti Veyron and from what we know, just as expensive.
On a recent trip to Sweden via Copenhagen [...]

Test model: Hyundai i30cw SX CRDi, 5-speed manual transmission – $24,390 (manufacturer’s list price)
It’s easier loading my 7 year-old daughter’s mountain bike into the i30cw wagon; than it was in any SUV I’ve driven this year. I figure it’s the low load entry that accounts for this revelation.
Many of the soft-roaders with a [...]

Alfa Romeo built some of world’s best looking cars in the ‘60’s and ‘70’s, proper sports cars, which drove well and were somewhat affordable to the average hard-working punter.

The fast and the furious of the off-road world
It weighs 2,590 kilograms, yet will blast off from a standing start to 100km/h in 6.2 seconds. It’s also sports car tidy through the bends and more luxurious than a suite at the Dorchester.
