Porsche Cayman

0 Comments
Here we have a car that is a dream for many car fans, but has been abandoned on the roadside by someone in Dubai.
Edit 06.04.2013: The photo is no longer embeddable, but you can still view it here. The Cayman is the cheapest coupe by Porsche, but more expensive than its open version, the Boxster.
The car pictured is a pre-facelift-model, meaning it is older than two years and has 245 or 295 bhp. It at least runs 258 km/h (160 mph) and is, as every Porsche should be, a proper sportscar.
Used examples cost at least about 30000€ at the moment.
So, even with a missing bumper, there are enough people who would love to take this car.
If it was clean and undamaged, it would be more similar to this one:

Audi A8

Time for another abandoned car from Dubai, I think.

Not much to write about the Audi A8. It has been the big luxury limousine by Audi since 1994.
The second generation started in 2002, and the facelifted model you see in the picture was sold between 2005 and 2009.
It was probably dumped on the airport, when in the recession last year, managers flew the country in order to not be arrested.

The nice car abandoned here once looked similar to this one:

Kia Sorento

0 Comments
A quite new car here as the second post today.
This Kia Sorento has been abandoned in Dubai. Seems quite normal to leave almost new cars somewhere on the roadside there.

(Picture by Danny McL Click it for higher resolution.)
The Sorento has been produced since 2002, but this specific car is a post-facelift-model, meaning it can't be older than four years. The first generation has been sold till 2009, so at least it is not newer than one year. It seems more or less undamaged, but very dirty. Maybe the window wasn't open before somebody used the car as a litter bin, so it could possibly be destroyed. At least it will also be dirty inside.
The Kia was aimed at the European market as a cheaper alternative to Mercedes ML or BMW X5. Till now, it has been playing this role quite successfully.
If treated in a normal way, the Sorento should look like that:
