The Japanese seem to be full of surprises these days. After Mazda launched the 2012 CX-5 ahead of schedule, Lexus gave us another surprise just now. Toyota's luxury arm decided to delay plans for their seven seater CUV but that doesn't mean they will be slacking off for a few years to come. In return, Lexus is going to start...
Mina... Minagi... whatever the original concept was called by the Japanese, it's being replaced by a new production car from Mazda which is called the CX-5. The new 2012 Mazda CX-5 was supposed to be unveiled at this year's Frankfurt Motor Show in September but, for some reason, it was released ahead of schedule. Pictures are one thing, but getting...
The British market is one of the most important ones around so it's no surprise when one of the major manufacturers create a special edition that's been tailored for it. It gets to a point where it's actually boring in some of the manufacturers cases because they just seem to come up with a new limited edition once every couple...
Few weeks ago we had the opportunity to discuss about Volkswagen's latest technology achievement, a system called Temporary Auto Pilot (TAP) which manages to take complete control over the car using the already existent safety systems in order to keep the vehicle and the passengers inside safe. The Germans from Volkswagen unveiled the system few weeks ago part of the...
Bugatti may be a brand that sparks up more conversations in gentlemen's clubs than bars but there's no denying on how it's something special, something very exclusive and in a class of its own.

Downsizing has once again gotten to the charismatic cars we know and love for having big engine. The victim this time is a very special sort of Mercedes. The lovable over-powered coupe will be the last of its breed. While the actual SL65 AMG name may survive, the glorious V12 that powers it will not. Killing off the Mercedes SL65...
The British at Bentley may have had it their own way with the dodging of emissions regulations and so on but in the end they kind of ended up losing. Nowadays they are pretty much forced to face the music and start delivering cars with smaller, more efficient engine soon or there's trouble. Enter the Bentley Continental's new V8 engine....
Few days ago we talked a special edition of the current Mercedes S-Class, a model which is specially designed for the Italian market and comes to celebrate the successful life of the model considering that the next generation S-Class is very close to us. Mercedes called it the Grand Edition, more details being available here. If the special edition developed...
At the same official shindig where the i3 EV was unveiled, BMW revealed the bigger brother, the i8. A joint article would have probably been fitting but I do have a special treatment for the latter so we'll go a different route. You see, while the i3 and the i8 come from the same family and even share some technology,...
It's been so long since we've first heard about the BMW i3 EV concept and we've had such a great number of occasions on it being tested and spied that it's almost boring.
