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!)
Between you and I – and everyone else who’s reading this including the people who lent me the car you see here – SUVs/CUVs are all broadly the same, and they’re all bit dull and that’s why we don’t really like them. They’re predictable, safe, solid, reliable, jack-of-all-trades vehicles with many merits and no significant … More 2022 XT4 is like other SUVs but better, and less expensive. And it’s a Cadillac
Porsche Cayenne was first introduced at the 2002 Frankfurt Motor Show and entered production in 2003. It was a breakthrough vehicle for both Porsche and the automotive industry because it pioneered big and powerful off-roaders that aren’t off-roaders. It was one of the first SUVs as we know it today. It was a bold move … More Two days with the new Porsche Cayenne Coupe in the mountains
Bentley decided to revive their Speed name to present the world’s fastest SUV. It’s the Bentayga, obviously, and it has a top speed of 190 mph (306 kph) and it does 0-60 in 3,9 seconds. It has an improved version of Bentley’s own 6-litre W12 with 626 HP and 900 torques, coupled with an 8-speed … More The new Bentley Bentayga Speed is lit
I’ve recently picked up a black off-roader, it’s a press car, I’m really fond of it and I’ll keep it for a few weeks. On paper, there are issues. For starters, it’s a diesel, which as we are repeatedly told it’s the work of the devil and whoever drives a diesel these days, we’re told, … More Cure to Boredom (Pajero 100th anniversary edition)_
Per il genere umano, il progresso è sempre stato illogico e caotico, e per niente spalmato nel tempo. Abbiamo tecnologie che non sono cambiate negli ultimi centomila anni e altre che sono già vecchie rispetto a ieri. Esempio a caso? Più o meno un milione e mezzo di anni fa, un nostro lontano avo inventò … More Reviewed: Eclipse Cross sulle Alpi

IT: La Range Rover Velar è disponibile con tre propulsori diesel, da due litri e tre litri, con potenze rispettivamente di 180, 240 e 300 cavalli; e due … More Flabbergasted News → Range Rover Velar
My favourite colour is burgundy. I didn’t know it was but it is. I was with my photographer friend a couple of weeks ago and we were driving to Monaco for the 2017 SIAM and he looked at me and asked, “What’s your favourite colour?”, “Dark blue” I said. No hesitation. No doubt. Why would … More Flabbergasted Drive → Porsche Cayenne GTS
The new Land Rover Discovery is basically a cruise ship. It is properly, truly, fantastically enormous. They call it “mid-size”, and technically that’s appropriate since it is slightly smaller than the “daddy”, the -classic- RR but still, for some reason, this felt a lot bulkier and taller than any other Range Rover I’ve driven. Dream … More Flabbergasted Drive → LR Discovery: 1st Impression
There are two sides to any story. On the one hand, I’m not a big fan of crossover SUVs in general because compromise seldom works. When you buy a crossover you’re essentially buying an overpriced and overweight hatchback, not a lightweight SUV. On the other hand, however, there’s no escaping the fact that crossover vehicles work, … More Flabbergasted News → Audi Q5 M.Y. 2017
