The original Citroen 2CV was the Ford Model T and the Volkswagen Beetle of France. In it's over forty years of continuous production, it put France on wheels and stuck around long enough to be an icon for the starving artist. The frugal car was nothing more than basic. The diminutive two-cylinder engine (ranging from 375 cc to 602 cc.) never made more than 29 horsepower in its lifetime. It is the kind of icon that is loved by designers, but ignored by drivers. With the advent of (...)

Yamaha R15 [complete review] http://www.topspeed.com/community/blogs/-yamaha-r15-complete-review-ar61490.html

Hello, I am a Tech Specialist in a MNC in Noida and a great byke lover, I am riding since the age of 9 and I am 29 today. I have completed 4000 Kms on R15 and using it since a month. I totally agree that when I first made up my mind to go for it, I thought it must be a something more powerful (when it comes to pickup). But I would really say that its far more better than any other Indian Bike in the market. Having used both Karizma and Pulsar . And I will like to share my outlook; 1. I have (...)

Fiat looking to bring Tata's Nano to the world? http://www.topspeed.com/cars/car-news/-fiat-looking-to-bring-tata-s-nano-to-the-world-ar61451.html

It's small, it's cheap, and now it may carry a Fiat badge. The Italian auto conglomerate may sell Tata's ultra-low price Nano outside of the car's home market in India. The partnership would likely be forged because Fiat's strong international distribution, and Tata's desire to keep the Nano's price low through more sales. Both parties have shown interest in the idea, but it's not a done deal yet. Fiat Chairman Luca Cordero di Montezemolo said the company was in talks with Tata about making (...)

Two arabs, one motorcycle = funny combination http://www.topspeed.com/motorcycles/motorcycle-news/-two-arabs-one-motorcycle-=-funny-combination-ar61475.html

Funniest motorcycle crash by two arabs. These two should have never been on a motorcycle in the first place and if they are smart (something that doesn't emerge from this video) they'll be staying away from motorcycles as long as they live. And if not, you'll be seeing them on our site…hopefully!

One strange way to get rid of your Range Rover http://www.topspeed.com/cars/car-news/-one-strange-way-to-get-rid-of-your-range-rover-ar61452.html

People are always trying to find a way to achieve some fame and here we found quite a strange way to become “famous”. Ryan Mickle, just a normal guy from the USA, bought in 2006 a Range Rover Sport for just $60,000, not for daily use but for trips. Now he decided that it is more important to be environment oriented and so he wants to destroy the car. He even opened a dedicated website, “OneFewer” where he makes a lot of buzz and people can actually choose what should happen to his car. But (...)

Lexus announced increased prices on four 2009 models http://www.topspeed.com/cars/car-news/-lexus-announced-increased-prices-on-four-2009-models-ar61469.html

To help all those who are affected by tough economic times, Lexus is lowering car prices. OH WAIT, THAT'S BACKWARDS, LEXUS IS RAISING PRICES. For 2009, the SC 430, LX 570, GX 470 and the RX 400h, will all have price increases. You can probably blame tough economic times or blame a weak dollar. But the truth is, if your shopping for a Lexus, these increases (all under 1.5 percent) are not fun, but they shouldn't stop you from taking home Toyota's premium brand. The 2009 SC430 will be (...)
