RIP minivans
They were absolute stars. Thirty years ago. Then they began to disappear from the catalog of generalists, replaced by SUVs, more tall and more fashionable, if not more efficient. But they survived, braving winds and tides under premium and German flags. But on the other side of the Rhine too, minivans will bow out. The BMW 2 Series Active Tourer will disappear in 2027 and its Mercedes B Class friend will not last long.

Audi RS6 GT: one last trip for the road
There are more unpleasant funerals. To salute one last time the most extroverted family station wagon on the market, Cédric Pinatel traveled 1,500 km at the wheel, between Montenegro and Germany. A tribute to the fire pump which will bow out in thermal version, with its cohort of 630 hp and its crazy price of 236,000 euros, to which we should add a good old penalty behind the fagots of 60,000 euros. An extreme car? Certainly, even if the tester prefers the Rs6 Performance, a little less efficient but more comfortable. The effect of age on long trips?

Second-hand, the Puretech is clearly shunned
His setbacks are now known to everyone. The Puretch 1.2 l from Stellantis is so cursed that its parents transformed and renamed it. But it abounds on second-hand models from many of the group's brands. So Manuel Caillot went to go through the classified ads to check if the discount on these cars was effective. And his observation is quite terrible: all makes and models are affected, except, oddly enough, the DS7 Crossback. In the city car section, the Peugeot 208 is more discounted than the Opel Corsa, although similar. As if Puretech was above all associated with Leo.

F1: Crésus in pole position
F1 is a sport for the rich, but it is also a sport that makes those who practice it rich. At least those who move to the top of the grid every two weeks. Forbes magazine has established its salary ranking for the 2024 season and it is edifying. Max Vesrstappen, world champion, will pocket a whopping $75 million, salary and bonuses combined. In second position, Lewis Hamilton will “only” earn 57 million, poor guy. At the bottom of this grid, Pierre Gasly is in tenth position, with only 12 million.
