Opel decided to try to pep up that image with its new Agila, giving it a more serious look and using higher quality materials in production. The Daihatsu Sirion puts more value on what's inside: an air conditioner, cup-holders and a connection for an MP-3 player are series in the standard version. Both compacts sell for around €10,000.

The official version of events is that the car, which was moving at 430 km/h, was struck by a strong gust of wind. Now Martin Schröder, the curator at the new Automotive Museum in Hamburg, says that his research shows that a technical glitch must have caused the accident.Spot it!: the Las Vegas Touran
Carlos Correia wouldn't even consider buying an off-the-peg Touran. Within a period of about six weeks, he had his new car customized into a multimedia sound-monster. The "Las Vegas Touran" is equipped with 46 monitors that are fed by ten different sources of video, while audio is taken care of by 8 amplifiers powered by a mind-blowing 6,000 watts.
