Chevrolet Biodiesel Ready, Mercedes-Benz Too

General Motors (GM) Thailand Ltd has announced biodiesel compatibility for all Chevrolet diesel vehicles in Thailand. In effect this means that the diesel version of the Captiva and the Colorado pick-up truck are both capable of using B2 and B5 biodiesel without any problems.

According to a press release from GM Thailand, using the B2 and B5 fuels will not cause any harmful or damaging effects to the engines, and that the engines "will retain both the powerful performance and cost efficiency that owners have come to expect from Chevy diesel powerplants."

C-Class

It's official. I now consider the BMW 3-Series to be the least desirable car in its class. The C-Class held that title even when the new 3-series came along looking like each of the panels had been designed by a different person in a different country, and then welded together by someone before they stepped back to take a look at the ugly results. Sure I'm being harsh, the 3-Series isn't the ugliest car in the world, the 1-Series claims that prize, but in its segment the 3-Series is visually unappealing.

The C-Class, while not being quite as ugly as the 3-Series, remained too boring to have any appeal at all.

Today all that has changed!

Uninspiring and boring though it may be, it is almost certain that the new C-Class interior will be of a higher quality than the old model.

Clearly no risks have been taking in the styling of the interior. Fans of the marque should find themselves comfortably at home in the new C-Class.
