Hot news for Mondeo fans: a lightly camouflaged Ford Mondeo test mule has been spotted in Europe, undergoing cold-weather testing. Now you can see the final facelift for Ford’s mid-size sedan.
As you see, the upper grille has been narrowed, while the bumper intakes are likely to take on styling more in-line with the 2011 Ford Focus.

A new year and new decade has begun, and for many people this means a new beginning and new things to welcome in their lives. For car enthusiasts, this means new cars to look forward to. Obviously, cars aren’t really something many people can collect…unless you’re a Hollywood celebrity or the CEO of a multinational conglomerate. If you’re not, then the wise thing to do when buying a car is to list down each desired model’s pros and cons and compare them closely.

Are you fan the Hummmer H1/2/3 or whatever else? Forget it. Look at this an extreme amphibious offroad vehicle, called Aton-Impulse VIKING-2992, that you can take with you when going fishing or in the mountains.

Shocking pics from Sweden. As you see this bad guy tried to evade the Swedish road police in his old Audi A6, but their Volvo XC70 wagon absolutely crushed him.
The Moscow Unlim 500+ is a one-mile, timed drag that pits high-dollar rides against each other all day long. It’s a possibly the greatest collection of cars in the entire country.

Where else would you see a wealthy Russian drive a 1000+hp Heffner Ford GT with a dress shirt and a helmet? Exactly.
Must watch.
