Comments on: Spotlight Gadget – Scion xB Release Series 6.0 http://the-gadgeteer.com/2009/01/09/spotlight-gadget-scion-xb-release-series-60/ Gadget reviews and news by Julie Strietelmeier and friends since 1997 Sun, 27 May 2012 00:39:26 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Ronald http://the-gadgeteer.com/2009/01/09/spotlight-gadget-scion-xb-release-series-60/comment-page-1/#comment-29313 Ronald Mon, 12 Jan 2009 15:21:37 +0000 http://the-gadgeteer.com/?p=11580#comment-29313 My next car will be a Dacia Logan MCV. A new build in Rumania using the "old" technique (read: proven technology) of former Renault automobiles. The car costs only half of the price of a comparable sized 7-seater of another branch. In Germany, Netherlands, France and Belgium the car is becomming a big hit. Now with ressession in the air people (like I) want their car simply to do what a car must do: bring you savely from A to B. But ... because I saved so much money ordering a Dacia MCV I can afford to have build in as a extra cruise control, radio-mp3-player, park assist, DVD-player and 15 inch roof TFT screen with 4 infrared controlled headsets for my kids. Dacia is building the same car in Brasil and India too. <a href="http://www.dacialoganmcv.nl/wp-content/gallery/dacia-logan-mcv-phase-ii-exterieur-parijs/IMG_4474.jpg" title="Dacia MCV Phase II at the Paris car show" rel="nofollow"></a> My next car will be a Dacia Logan MCV.

It has a lot of cool stuff like the magic-key, the nav and tv system, and the hybrid system itself. No sunroof though, which stinks. I think my next car is going to be either a hybrid, or a full blown electric. :) I sort of liked the high-end Prius.

I know, a lot out there hate Ford but I kind of got used to the brand... my vote goes for a Ford Ranger FX4 “king cab”. all wheel drive, decent mileage and some space to cram my photo gear behind the seats. most important, it can haul my quad (or ATV for the non-Canadians) in the back.
