  Alfa 147 voted 'Car of the Year' 15 Nov 2000 (News)
  Third in the top ten was the Toyota Prius hybrid; fourth, the all alloy Audi A2; fifth, the new Mercedes C Class; sixth, the new Vauxhall Corsa; seventh, the new Volvo V70; eighth, the Chrysler PT Cruiser; ninth, the Peugeot 607; and tenth, the Citroen Picasso mini MPV. Good though it may be, the fact that a small, sporty car with excessive fuel consumption (Autocar test: 26.9mpg overall for the 1.6) calls into question the validity of the European 'Car of the Year' award.

  Usual Early November Standoff at Car Auction Today 7 Nov 2012 (News)
  So was an 85k mile 2009/59 Toyota Prius 1.8 T3 ex taxi for £7,300. There were six 2010/60 Volvo S60 D3 163 ES models in the sale with 15k – 25k miles, some selling for around £12,000; some not. But looking bargain of the day was a dark green 34k mile 2008/58 Ford S-Max 2.0TDCI 140 Edge automatic that apparently CAPs at £10,100 but bid to only £7,500 and would probably come for £8,500.

  Techno-Classica 2014 event report 31 Mar 2014 (News)
  Ford's Coupe and Cabiolet display served up some unusual items, such as an odd hump-backed Fiesta, while Maserati's centenary was marked extensively - not only in the Zagato exhibition, but also with Maserati's collection, that included the 300S Birdcage, Khamsin and the new Ghibli saloon. Finally, we loved the Volvo at Speed display that served up half-a-dozen Volvo touring and rally cars - the most iconic for enthusiasts of a certain age was the 850 T5-R Estate prepared by Tom Walkinshaw for the British Touring Car Championship during the 1990s.  The visitor numbers have yet to be confirmed, but the organisers, SIHA, did tell us that it looked like they were up from 2013 - which was already a record year with 190,000 attending the show.
