Vigo Motor Show: Corvette Victory Edition

It was about time we talked about something a bit juicier and more attractive… well, also expensive and out of reach for many. The Corvette dealership in Vigo -not to be confused with Chevrolet, they are separate brands- took a Victory Edition, limited edition of the American Coupé to the show. Specifically, the star of […]

The Opel Agila is another newcomer to the market, and it will share its place there with a twin brother with a Japanese name, the Suzuki Splash. It is one of those cars that, until a few years ago, wouldn’t have had a definition; it falls under the multi-purpose category, but its design and function […]

Vigo Motor Show: Fiat 500

Although it has been on the market for some time now, the Fiat 500 remains an everlasting novelty, a centre of attention and an object of desire. It is the reincarnation of a legend, with Italian retro style and its modernity too. It is urban, it is many things… but above all attractive. Unlike the […]

Uno de los modelos del doble chevron que han hecho su aparición comercial en el viejo continente últimamente es el C4 Sedán. Tras varios años en el mercado con versiones de tres y cinco puertas y algo más de un año con un monovolumen que toma su base -el C4 Picasso- llega la carrocería de […]

Uno de los expositores más llamativos en esta edición del Salón del Vigo es a mi parecer Caterham. Y digo a mi parecer porque la mayor parte de los visitantes pensaba que esos biplazas pequeños y rudos eran meras piezas de competición. Nada más lejos, los Caterham son verdaderos deportivos que ofrecen sensaciones y prestaciones […]

When Daewoo was branded in Europe as Chevrolet a few years ago (both belong to General Motors) as part of a commercial strategy, many of us were shocked. It meant giving the name of a historic American brand to a Korean company whose philosophy was to make insubstantial plastic cars at a modest price. Over […]

The honor of being the first new release we cover at Highmotor from the Vigo Motor Show has fallen to the Audi A3 Cabrio. It may not make much of an impact on the market, it may largely go unnoticed overall, and the fact that it is a version of a model that has already […]

First of all, I must make it clear that I do not want to promote any kind of illegal behavior, much less reckless driving—almost suicidal in this case. The aim is simply to share a fact that many of you probably don’t know, or only knew as an urban legend. Contrary to what Mr. Navarro […]

A unos kilómetros a las afueras de Oporto se encuentra la localidad de Maia, hoy en día una “pequeña ciudad” dormitorio más pero que para los aficionados al motor acoge un preciado reclamo, su Automuseu. El Automuseu de Maia no es más que una forma de sacar partido a un gran stock de clásicos restaurados […]
