If you are following the latest 2015 Volvo XC90 news recently, you may have already seen its official crash test video like this:

Today we got some detailed high-resolution photos of that test car. In the following images you can examine the XC90’s structural safety more closely. We do not have the side impact test car photo at this moment, but we will add them in once we are able to obtain.

Besides some cars that are too expensive for your budge, there are some cars which is impossible for you to purchase, even you have that kind of money. One example of the later case is the upcoming Aston Martin Lagonda.

The Lagonda is a limited edition, builds on Aston Martin’s VH platform (the same as the Rapide). This car will be sold exclusively to some wealthy people in the Middle East region.

Mazda will officially announced the newly redesigned MX-5 Miata next week, on September 3rd. Although there is still one week before the reveal, some more information leaked out today.
