One of the major changes in this car being the removal of the 7-seater “soccer-mom” arrangement and reducing it to a 5-seater just as the name suggest, the car had managed to provide ample of space and even improved on the looks.

- It’s "war" on the German carmakers
The European commission has proposed new emissions standards to limit the amount of carbon-dioxide levels emitted by cars manufactured in Europe. According to the Porsche CEO Wendelin Wiedeking it is a war on the German carmakers. He said that the new norms will hurt the German carmakers more severely than their French and Italian counterparts. Wiedeking went on to describe the limits as a war-like assault, adding “it is an attack on BMW, Mercedes, Audi and ourselves, this is a business war in Europe. We will fight.” Well…I for one think that Mr. CEO here is overreacting a bit. I honestly don’t think that the European Commission cares much about Porsche to wage a “war” on them, as the first thing on their mind is to reduce pollution and take care of global warming.

- Honda phone-sex toll free number
This story might be a bit old, but it sure is funny enough to be told once more. Long story short – Honda misprinted a toll-free number in the owner's manual of a number of Acura and Honda cars. The customer care number wasn’t what it was supposed to be, but the number to a phone-sex service. Just imagine, you being totally annoyed at a Honda car and wanting to yell at the first Honda executive you could get on the line, but instead you get a…well, you get the picture! The manuals affect were the ones printed between August 2006 and July 2006. Gives a whole new meaning to the term “customer care”.

- Rover V8 Coffee Tables
This actually made me laugh. The best coffee table I have ever seen as of yet! Now I know what my girlfriend would say when I get one of these – “guys!” with her eyes rolled. But it is a well established fact that boys will be boys and a V8 engine complete with shaft and pistons with a glass mounted on top means a great idea for a coffee table and even a great piece of art in some cases. Looking at the images you can also see there is place to keep wine bottles! Whoever did that sure has a creative mind and maybe it will inspire some of the car enthusiast out there to get one for their living room too! But yes, ask you wife/girlfriend if you want to get one. Ha-ha.
