Coming this November to American dealers, the 2014 Vespa 946 is a very styling scooter, living up to the standards expected from Vespa.

2014 Volkswagen Polo spied without camo

As a vehicle is getting older and less appealing, car makers often use a trick of the trade to keep it in production just a little longer.

They provide a facelift of the model, adding some minor features and modifications without meddling with the underpinnings too much.

The same is the case with the 2014 Volkswagen Polo, which is set to receive such a treatment. And for being out there for about four years, the changes we can witness so far are not that big. From the spy photos taken of the Polo hatchback, we can see just a restyled front bumper and a smaller antenna.

Former Saab executives going to jail

Right now, Saab is for all intents and purposes, dead. The new owner might be trying to revitalize it, but nothing concrete has been brought to table so far.

Yet, for a car maker that doesn’t really make any cars, Saab has a strong presence in the media these days.

One of the reason for the attention is the incarceration of three, yet undisclosed, former Saab executives. The Sweedish prosecutor Olof Sahlgren says that these three individuals are “suspected of aggravated attempts to avoid tax controls”.

Around the clock assistance for Harleys in india

As you know, India is one of the most densely populated zones of the Earth. This, of course, translates into very congested urban traffic.

That is why a full car just doesn’t make sense in such an environment, and you can see that in the sheer number of bikes on the road in India.

Couple that with a general bad driving style of the residents, and you get some very dangerous conditions on the road. Taking all these into consideration, Harley-Davidson made the decision of creating a nation-wide service for all Harley owners.
