Audi LED running lights? No thanks

I'm going out on a limb here at Autocar, because I think I'm pretty much the only one in the office who doesn't like Audi's new LED daytime running lights, as found on the R8, A5 and posher versions of the new A4.

I'm all for the notion of having some lights on during daylight hours (especially given the increasing number of people who seem to forget to put lights on even at night), but these things are vulgar, plain and simple.

They are the expensive equivalent of the inappropriately-used foglights beloved of Saxo VTS drivers in baseball caps.

And yes, I know that makes me sound snobbish, but seriously, what is the point of these lights? If there were also rear daytime lights then it would make a lot more sense, but there aren't.

Of course, there is a solution - deep within Audi's rather effective MMI system, there's an option to switch the lights off.

Chevrolet Camaro 2010 New Trend Pictures and video presentation

The Chevrolet Camaro is a sports car produced by the manufacturer Chevrolet.The Camaro came in response to its rival General Motors more worthy at this time: the Ford Mustang. In 1967, it was full of muscle cars and pony cars, Chevrolet introduced the model in three versions: the 350, the Z-28 and the Super Sport (SS). Latter to have a gasoline engine of 5.7 liters, and an optional 396-inch engine. Cubic (6.5 liters) similar to the Chevrolet Corvette, but with smaller denomination, but it was for the kind of passionate North American customer for the speed, with the idea of running on Sunday and sell on Monday. This tradition has continued despite a large decline in the mid-1970s with the rise in fuel prices.
This model became famous in the Trans-Am racing (racing circuit), and the NHRA (National Hot Rod Association).
His production was more serial stream into a car for 1990, revived the legend with its picturesque 30th anniversary in 2002 and was dismissed with a great story. Chevrolet is currently working on a new generation that would be launched to market in 2008 or 2009, and will not be a limited series and will be sold in Europe and the United States.
