Custom Volvo XC70 pickup spotted in Sweden

When I think of Volvo I think of something very practical. Now check out this custom XC70 pickup. It was built by a Swedish company called Dalbo Fordonsteknik.

It sure is not El Camino or Falcon not even a new Pontiac G8 pickup, but it sure has its own unique lines and thats what makes it interesting. Maybe Volvo should try something totally new and introduce a Volvo pickup? Or even a bigger pickup based on XC90?

Good laugh: BMW X3 commercial

Lot of times car manufacturers compare their new models to the ones their competitors make. Sometimes they go pretty far telling how bad their competitor products are.

This BMW X3 TV ad is kind of sarcastic and it sure has some truth in it. Most American made SUVs share the same platform with lot of other models in their lineup(usually trucks and bigger Van’s).

Look at the commercial below where a guy is driving a bigger American SUV(pretty sure it is a GM) and when approaching the traffic light he hits the brakes to see the body of his SUV taking of his car thus uncovering truck underneath it.
