Wagons - Excellent vehicles with Many Good Features

As the owner of not one, but two wagons — a BMW 325ti and a Subaru Outback I can whole heartedly agree that wagons are excellent and versatile vehicles for many people.  Recently, Business Week magazine published an article that pretty much focused on the same line of thought.

Based on this article as well as my personal experiences, I do believe that wagons are an excellent choice for a vehicle with good handling, good fuel efficiency, and lots of room.

I always joked about the BMW wagon I own - that it is a sports car with a cloaking device - the wagon shape.  Any time I speed down the highway I would be invisible why? Because wagons are for family people, people with kids, people that drive slowly etc.  Right ?

Car Buying in China - How about a bulletproof car

Just a few days ago, in its June 29th, 2006 edition China Daily (the leading English language newspaper in China), there was a report on a new fad in China - purchases of bulletproof cars.
Here is a link to the article: http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/bizchina/2006-06/29/content_629142.htm

It is interesting to know why would you need a bulletproof vehicle in China.  After all China is actually relatively safe place to live and work - I have been here with my family for a rather long time, and also know a number of people who have spent significantly longer time here
Well the answer to this question is actually more related to prestige than safety.  At any rate, please drop me a line or a comment on this site if you would like to learn more about cars and car ownership in China
