present it! The new Opel Insignia


The Insignia is Opel’s designated successor to the Vectra. The new model combines cutting-edge technical features with attractive design and a reasonable price tag. Standard features include ergonomically optimized seats and adaptive lighting with nine lightbeam settings. Prices for Opel’s new flagship model start at just under €23,000 in Germany. Among the optional extras is a camera system that can read traffic signs.compare it! Dacia Sandero vs. VW Polo


We pit the Dacia Sandero against the VW Polo. The Sandero initially makes a robust impression: unpretentious but still classy. The more compact Polo looks almost a little old-fashioned in comparison. The VW’s interior is solid, even if unexciting. The Sandero comes out on top in terms of equipment – provided you order the top-of-the-line model. The latter costs €4,000 less than the most basic five-door Polo. At the same time, however, Sandero buyers do not even have the option of stability control, which costs an extra €420 for the Polo.vintage! Mercedes Benz Classic Days


Vintage car fans from across Europe gathered in England for this year’s Mercedes Benz Classic Days. Franz Maag made 500-kilometer trip over from Essen, Germany in his 710SS, which hails from 1927. Accompanying him was his friend Manfred Dietze. He's also a car enthusiast and the proud owner of a 720SSK. Both classic models are the forerunners of today’s Formula One racers. Lewis Hamilton declared his immense respect for the old cars’ longevity.test it! The Audi TTS


Last spring Audi introduced a coupé and convertible version of the new TTS. We put the convertible to the test. The German carmaker has made the two-seat sports car more robust and improved its performance, but that does not mean a larger engine. On the contrary, the two-liter two-cylinder turbocharged engine generates 272 horsepower and catapults the TTS convertible from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in just 5.4 seconds.spot it! The German Forklift Driving Championships


Germany's 62 best forklift operators gathered in the town of Aschaffenburg for the fourth national championships. What began as an idea in a pub has grown into a professionally managed event. After all, driving a forklift demands a lot of skill and training, because it's steered by the rear wheels. It takes plenty of precision and nerves to maneuver the vehicle, especially when battling it out against the country's best.admire it! The Ford F650


The Ford F650 is a mammoth vehicle in every respect. The 6.7-liter diesel engine generates 325 horsepower and the huge pickup tips the scales at 5.2 tons. The wheelbase measures 4.62 meters or the entire length of a Hummer H2. Getting behind the wheel of an F650 is an unforgettable experience. Pedestrians and other drivers are shocked to see such a monster on the road, but you will have to dig deep into your pockets to be king of the road. The basic version of the import costs €99,000 and each trip to the service station will cost hundreds of euros. The fuel tank of the mammoth pickup has enough room for 590 liters of diesel.
