Ford: We can make money on small cars! {Autoblog}
Aug 13th 2008 5:21PM Good idea in theory, however the Euro engines won't go to the US simply because you Americans don't seem to realise that 135hp is more than adequate for a car like this!!
The vast majority of these cars sold in the UK are with the 1.6 VVT petrol or the smaller diesels

The vast majority of illegal asylum seekers enter the UK in the back of trucks from all the ports and the Chunnel too.
Big fines for any truckers caught with them even though the vast majority don't know they're there
1.2 mil gallons of unleaded gas go up in flames {Autoblog}
Jun 4th 2008 6:29PM That's rather similar to the Buncefield Oil Fire that happened a while ago in the UK which shut down most of the major motorways in London as well as Heathrow because of the smoke that could be seen from most of Europe

It looks like a Vauxhall because the photo-chopped picture is based on one. That's where the license plate comes from!
VXL = Vauxhall

In the current issue of the magazine in which this is for, they are comparing around ten cars that are best to drive around on the 'B' roads of Britain.
The cars are the likes of the Jag XF, the BMW 3-Series, one of the Lambo's and so on

May 10th 2008 5:48PM Not bad although I'd rather have the Ford S-Max.
Those wheels look distinctly EU-Ford Focus
BMW 520d beats Prius in gas mileage {Autoblog}
Mar 23rd 2008 2:36PM More people buy diesels in Europe because of company tax benefits or because there cheaper to run or because they need to use the torque and not HP much.
It doesn't help the Prius when it looks like a strange deep-sea fish or the fact that it costs £2,000 MORE than the equivalent Ford Focus or VW Golf. In the UK at least it doesn't even qualify for free road tax either so what's going for it when most cars look better, handle better and get roughly the same MPG as a Prius?
BTW, there's no 'special' reduction or tax breaks just because it's a hybrid either.

Yep, Honda has production lines in the UK for the Civic and various others, so does Toyota, Nissan, Vauxhall/Opel, Ford, Jaguar and Land Rover too
