  • Winner in the ‘Estate/MPV’ category

New Touran is the “Auto der Vernunft 2016” (Most Sensible Car 2016). The compact MPV was selected by the readers and Internet users of the magazine SUPERillu and Guter Rat(Good advice), one of the leading consumer magazines in Germany.

This year, the Touran was honoured in the category “Estate/MPV”. The Touran won over readers’ hearts thanks to its good driving performance combined with low fuel consumption and impressive travelling comfort. The popular family MPV also excelled with a wide range of assistance systems including Emergency Assist (semi-autonomous steering in a medical emergency) and Trailer Assist (automatic steering when manoeuvring with a trailer). Smart phone content can also be displayed on the navigation system screen using Media Control.

The Readers’ Choice vote for the “Auto der Vernunft” by SUPERillu, the most widely read consumer magazine in the eastern part of Germany, and Guter Rat took place for the 16th time. In recent years, numerous Volkswagen models have also been amongst the winners including the Passat and Golf Sportsvan (2015) Golf (2013), Jetta (2012), Polo (2010), Golf Variant (2008), Touran (2004) and the new Beetle Cabriolet (2003).

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more.

And with rain expected on Friday, Ogier’s chances are even better. “If it’s a bit wet then I hope I can make some good times,” said Ogier earlier today. “The best would be some good rain during the night so it’s a damp surface and then not too bad weather during the day so specators can enjoy the show without being too wet.” If it is dry, though, speed is on ...
