Glasgow: the revival of Clydeside
Glasgow's fortune was made from trading and shipbuilding on the River Clyde.

IN THE HEADLINES
Test drive: Audi RS6 Avant
Up until now, Audi merely aspired to compete with BMW in the sportiness stakes. But the student now wants to surpass the master! The new RS6 Avant, flagship of the Quattro division, proves the point.

WHAT'S NEW
Renault Laguna Estate in the spotlight
Although the new third-generation Laguna won us over with its driving comfort and high-performance acoustics, the estate version has just won two "beauty prizes" at the 23rd International Automobile Festival in Paris...

Skoda Superb: a 2-in-1 boot!
Since it became part of the VW group, the small manufacturer from the Czech Republic has continued to go upmarket. The proof? The new Skoda Superb, which will be presented at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2008, and whose revolutionary boot is on the way to becoming a standard.

TWO-WHEELER
Vespa P 125 X "Ultima Serie"
This time, it looks like the Vespa PX really is on the verge of bowing out. A well-deserved retirement, 30 years after its launch in 1978. To commemorate the end of production, Piaggio is offering a final numbered special series, limited to 1,000 units.
