More pictures of the new Audi A6

All new Audi A6
The current A 6 is still a really nice looking car, but pretty invisible.The new one will be a very nice looking car that will still be invisible. The interior seems to be very similar to the A7.

Baojun 630
Yet another Chinese brand. Of some interest, because GM is actually involved. The brand was created by GM and SAIC as a low cost alternative to other GM brands for the Chinese market.So this will be cheaper than the cheapest Chevrolet sold over there.

New US Fiat commercial
Maybe it’s just me, but I really think a car commercial should feature: the car.More than the type of people who might or might not buy it. Especially when the car looks that good.
