The biggest problem with writing about cars these days is everything has been said. Every analogy has been used. And we ran out of metaphors. Automakers aren’t helping because they’ve become dull. Even when they create fun vehicles. Mind you, there’s a small Italian company called MILITEM that’s trying to change the paradigm and they’re … More MILITEM FERŌX500 comes in with a V8 and seats made from denim
The all-new Maserati Grecale is finally here and it’s a lot better than I thought it’d be. Mostly because I thought it wouldn’t be good at all. First and foremost, it looks good, which is what you expect from a Maser‘. It’s built in Italy and it’ll be Maserati’s first all-electric vehicle but don’t worry, … More The new Maserati Grecale is here and it might be better than we thought
The cycle repeats: a car manufacturer that has never built anything other than sportscars is essentially forced to build an SUV because that’s what the market wants (fair enough), and then they try to turn that SUV into a massive supercar by giving it wings and a lot of power. That’s exactly what happened with … More The range-topping DBX 707 is a bit faster, but also a bit… less elegant
Renault is launching a new SUV soon, ideally slotted and marketed between the Captur and the Kadjar, and it’s called Austral. The name is cool, but what about the car? At the moment, we only know that the French company has been testing a total of 100 prototypes around Europe (France, Romania, Spain and Germany, … More Renault’s latest SUV is almost here, the name is cool, but what about the car?
There’s a very good reason why supercar manufacturers are building SUVs: money. Yup, good ol’ cash. We don’t like to hear it, I guess, but not only is the Urus one of the fastest-selling Lambos, it will soon become the brand’s best-selling vehicle of all time, and on top of that, Lamborghini said that over … More Happy birthday, Urus! Lambo’s SUV turns 4
We don’t know what the latest Renault SUV (duh) looks like, but we know the name: Australi. It comes from the Latin word ‘australis’, which means ‘southern’. We don’t know much about it yet, apart from the fact that it measures 4.51 mt in length and it’s supposed to be a crossover/SUV/C Segment hatchback. More … More There’s a new Renault, we don’t know what it looks like, but at least the name is cool
The LA Auto Show is my favourite car show because it ticks all the boxes that a modern car-themed event should tick in the 2020s. You’ve got cool cars and trucks, obviously, but there’s a strong focus on technology, which is hugely important, and networking. And there’s usually wine involved. And don’t worry, at the … More Another supercar brand goes down the SUV rabbit hole
Genesis throws the best afterparties at the LA Auto Show along with Hyundai. What does this have to do with the actual car? Nothing. I just wanted to say it. Anyway, this is the new GV70 – ‘electrified’ because ‘duh’, and it was recently unveiled at the Guangzhou in China. There’s a new Crest Grille … More There’s a new Genesis, and it looks good (like most Genesis cars)
Tune in on November 30 for the upgraded Škoda Karoq. Škoda is one of the few brands that’s actually trying to make generic-looking SUVs more interesting. First of all, they’ve devised this unique naming scheme whereby every SUV they build begins with a K and ends with a Q (Karog, Kodiaq, etc). It looks good, … More Tune in on November 30 for the upgraded Škoda Karoq
Guess what, you can now buy yet another electric SUV with a hefty price tag. It’s the brand-new ID.5 – the latest (and largest) addition to the available range of electric VWs (all of which are built on the same modular platform, btw). The car is available for preorder as we speak, with three engine … More The VW ID.5 is available for preorder (and it ain’t cheap!)
