The Karmann GhiaIt is a heartbreaker of a car, a real dreamboat and possibly the most beautiful VW ever built. However the sporty coupe does have one small drawback. Its design is far racier than its driving performance.The first Ghias were fitted wtih 30 horsepower VW Beetle engines, while later models got 50 horsepower motors. Still, when the Karmann Ghia was introduced back in 1955 this was more than enough to keep vehicles like the Goggomobil and BMW Isetta in check. During it's close to 20 years in production, some 443,000 Ghias were sold. Today this classic car has nothing left to prove. We take a relaxing drive in this stylish milestone of automotive history.

Dacia Logan MCV vs. Lada Priora WagonStation wagons are loved for their flexibility and space - whether for a trip to and from the hardware store or a family vacation. There are a range of established wagons out there, generally in higher price brackets and boasting luxury features - and then there are the no-frills workhorses like the Dacia Logan MCV and Lada Priora.Both these models are immediately appealing because of their low prices; the basic Logan MCV costing 7,990 euros (in Germany) and the Priora 9,990 euros. Both can also be ordered with LPG drive. So which model ended up offering more car for a nice price? test it!: Mercedes CLSGenerations of art professors, even biologists and psychologists have poised the question: What is the secret of true beauty?
