Mercedes C180 CGI BlueEFFICIENCY Review & Road Test (2010) Part 3

Final part Mercedes C180 CGI BlueEFFICIENCY Review Traditionally, small Mercedes saloons with small engines have been the stuff of company cars. A reward for a successful salesman at the top of his game, or a bit of kudos for a junior manager. But this C180 CGI BE would make a great private buy, a terrific family car or even a trade down in these financially trying times.

Honda to offer second-gen Element

Although the Element has been a disappointing seller, Honda plans to offer a second generation of its quirky crossover rather than treat it as an experiment.

Car collector and artist makes you look twice

As with most artists, Louis Carvell simply sees the world differently than others, and his passion for cars and car collecting led him to create a thought-provoking (and clever) body of work he entitled: “Reincarnations: Car Parts ReBorn.” The photographic collages are of spare vintage-automobile parts inspired by, “the dream cars of the Eisenhower era,” Carvell said. “These pieces are art in and of itself. Initially, I photographed them [alone] against white, seamless.” Eventually, Carvell decided to expand and refine his concept and place the parts into surrealist tableaux, to give one pause to consider these objects outside their defined roles.
