Hey klier, I've been looking for articles of the new centre, but in vain. It's confusing me because the article that you have posted shows a conventionally shaped building, but as far as I can remember from the newspapers, it's gonna be a huge globe. Or maybe, the globe could be encased inside the box-shaped building. It would be something like that... Nonetheless, they're doing this to compete with Mercedes-Benz, which opened an equally impressive dealer centre just this year.

The BMW centre will be ready in 2008. And when it does rest assured, I'll be among the firsts there!

Anyway, on the topic... While at the Honda showroom, we tried a Civic Hybrid! What a novelty... It's quite refreshing to see the car recharging itself like I'm recharging an appliance. And it did sound like an some appliance. Say, a washing machine? Heh. It was kinda noisy though... And underpowered.

But the car consumes only 3-4L/100km, which is really impressive. The Jazz does 4-6L/100km. By comparison, our 320i did 12-14L/100km.
