Some good ones there...

"Other new tech for the Abarth Ducato Maxi covers the Red Light Assist to apply maximum acceleration if the system senses the traffic lights are about to turn red in front of the vehicle. Also, Blind Spot Enhancement turns the side windows of the Abarth Ducato Maxi opaque, which helps the driver ignore their surroundings"

Thats no joke. I rode a Renovo bike last summer. Made from Hickory and it rode brilliantly. Very light and stiff like carbon but won't explode when you hit something hard. A friend also rides a bike made out of Bamboo which he took to Morzine last year to show just how strong it is.

For all fans of real craftsmanship, check this out..
