Even if you hate this car, watch it, and if you don’t get goose-bumps, there’s a VW Golf Cabrio waiting for you.

One has to wonder what goes on in the minds of the Dutch. Having restarted the Spyker nameplate, its owners went ahead and created a few exotic cars that never sold well, started an F1 team that flopped, and then bought an ailing Swedish carmaker that General Motors desperately wanted to get rid of. They’ve launched new Saab models, including the 9-4X and the 9-5 designed under GM, as well as revealing a 9-3 facelift and a 9-5 wagon just today, both while announcing that they’ve sold their loss-making Spyker sports-car business to someone else!

وقد فازت بفارق كبير شاحنة شيفروليه سلفرادو 3500 أتش دي “بروجكت فالكون” التي طورتها شركة الكندي للسيارات المعدلة، وهي إحدى شركات مجموعة الكندي.
