design also gives the car’s proportions a sportier look, while in the cockpit a high-tech multimedia package plants the car firmly in the future. The latest A4 hits the road with a portfolio of communications and entertainment technology that leaves even luxury class cars looking pale in comparison. compare it! - VW Polo Bluemotion vs. Ford Fiesta 1,6 TDCi Compacts are popular with people concerned about environmental issues, but not everyone who is worried about their carbon footprint wants to get rid of all the creature comforts, or that leap of response when they hit the gas. Today’s test looks at whether two stars of the economy class really live up to manufacturer promises. How environmentally friendly is the Polo Bluemotion really? Is the Ford Fiesta a viable alternative? Which of the two cars made the greater sacrifices in terms of power and comfort? Our test also takes a close look at the honesty of carmaker claims when they’re trying to push the latest low-carbon model. inside it! - Opel Antara FlexFix Biking is in. Whether you want to do some sightseeing in the city, hit the paths along a river in the country, or go mountain biking over rough terrain, it’s always good to have a two-wheeler along when you take a vacation in your four-wheeler. But what’s the best way to transport it? The new Flex-Fix system integrated into the Opel Antara has now made taking your bicycle along easier than ever before. Mounting a bike rack can be a laborious and exhausting process, but the Flex-Fix is a snap. When not in use, the two-bike rack slides into a nearly invisible ‘drawer’ unit built into the rear bumper. The new extra is a smart detail that should help the Antara hold its ground in the hotly-contested SUV and crossover class. admire it! - Mercedes C63 AMG The latest C63 AMG is the fifth generation of Mercedes AMG C-class cars to hit the road. The styling typical of the AMG helps give the C63 a distinctly different look compared to its C-class brothers and sisters. A swelling hood and chromed double-exhaust pipes help underline the sporty image. The C63 is also driven by a huge 6.3 liter V8 engine harnessing 457 horsepower. For those who like to almost leave the ground when they hit the gas, cars like this are pure joy – the C63 rockets to a hundred kilometers an hour from a standstill in just 4.5 seconds. picture it! - Climate protection - CO2 emissions per passenger In terms of emissions, what’s the most economical way to travel from Stuttgart to Berlin? Questions like these affect holidaymakers as well as business travelers. The alternatives are limited: planes, trains or automobiles. Finding out which of the three means of transport really has the least negative impact on the environment is not easy, but we gave it our best shot. taste it! - Chevrolet HHR A Chevrolet is an "American car". The GM subsidiary is finding it hard to shake that image in Europe, in spite of the fact that it has been offering exclusively European models since 2005. Chevrolet’s latest attempt at making a splash once again has a distinct American look. At just under four and a half meters, the Chevy HHR is a compact class car that looks a lot bigger than it is. It’s design, with nearly vertical sides and rear, is based on the legendary 1949 Chevrolet Suburban. A wide hood with a semicircular radiator grille and distinctive fenders complete the HHR’s retro look.
