Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet
PetrolBlog isn’t at the LA Motor Show. And on the basis of what I’ve just seen from Nissan, I’m delighted to be here in Blighty.

But “Hell Yeah” would sum it up pretty well. Read more
Skoda Fabia vRS: Less batty, more evil
Skoda has unveiled a brilliant new Fabia vRS TV ad which takes the original ‘cakes’ concept and slams it into the middle of next week.
