The R35 Nissan GT-R has been around since I was in first-year high school. Despite having its “Sweet 16” on December 2023, the latest iteration of this iconic Japanese supercar still has what it takes to stick it to the likes of what Europe has to offer. Indeed, the R35’s long-time rival has been the Porsche 911 Turbo, which has been revamped over three generations (997, 991 and the current 992). But the latest scoop from Japanese car magazine BestCarWeb may see a completely new rival for the ne

At Clark International Speedway, Car #150 and Car #214 line up behind the starting tree of the National Drag Racing Championship Series (NDRC). Car #214 is much like many other drag cars in the Philippines – a ‘90s Honda Civic ESi with a ram-air intake. Its silver trumpet sticks out of the right headlight like a monocle. Car #150 is rather different – it has a bulky, gray hatchback body and a turbocharged inline-3 engine. The lights descend the tree. Yellow, yellow, yellow, green! The Civic take

Before this piece elicits negative comments, this is just an observation, not an actual head-to-head comparison.

Each has its strengths and weaknesses. And truth be told, both vehicles are highly capable and have become the best-selling models in their respective categories.

Never have I encountered someone who hasn't wished even once in his life to ride inside one of the latest and most sought-after SUVs of our time with his family, as SUV models nowadays are becoming a lot competitive and impressive. Several highly competitive contenders are in the segment already, but some of them look up to Nissan's Terra. What's so special about the Terra? Can it top the performance of one of its closest rivals in the category, Isuzu mu-X? Engine and Transmission Based on the e

It would have been quite undoubtedly interesting if there ever was a car version of a Ms. Universe pageant. Imagine all those flaunting specks of white thighs in place of er, slim, and singularly-chiseled quad pipes. (hah! You wish) But of course, such a thing would never happen. It's just one of those run-away goosebumps of fertile-wild imaginings of sorts, we guess. However, the closest thing that ever was to resemble a kind of "car pageant" (we could think of) would be that so-called annual e

Mazda will be propelling a few unused SUVs starting 2022, and fair final week the Mazda CX-50 begun generation in North America. Presently, Japanese media have taken a shot and rendered the Mazda CX-80, an up and coming show that’s a small bit more important to us. One of the five new SUVs announced – alongside the CX-50, CX-60, CX-70, and CX-90 – the CX-80 will be sold in Japan and Europe, which gives it a good chance of appearing here, considering some of our Mazda models are imported from Jap
