Outsider's Perspective: Utes, a Eulogy

comments
Ladies, Gentlemen; thank you for joining me in saying goodbye to a vehicle that has been for many years a forbidden fruit in most every part of the word. Even for those not hampered by random import restrictions, a lack of left-hand-drive options made them unappealing for all but the most dedicated men and women…

If I were to run for president of the United States, which is impossible for a number of reasons even before we get to the Constitution’s requirements for eligibility, my transport policies would be threefold: Increased speed limits on American highways, repeal of the infamous Mercedes law and crucially, every citizen acquiring their driver permits…

Borgward is back! And, like the last time MG came back, nobody under the age of 65 jumped with excitement at the news. And those pensioners that instantly slumped back in their chairs the second they saw how it came back.

comments
Aren’t you glad that the days of Cadillac only producing absolute malaise for the people that bought a Sedan DeVille back in 1972 and then just replaced it for its equivalent every four years or so? Today’s Cadillac is producing brilliant designs that are very striking to look at and, crucially, compare favorably with the…

The Honda Accord, alongside the Mercedes-Benz E350 and the Toyota Avalon, is one of the most sensible 4-door sedans that you can buy today.

The Fiat 124 and I go way back. Without going into too much detail there’s more than a few reasons why I want the new version to be incredibly successful and make for the best cheap sports car in the market. And considering the recent announcements and the spy photos that have been floating around…

Outsider's Perspective: 2015 Salon de Buenos Aires
/
/
comments
Few media outlets cover the prestigious and magnificent Buenos Aires motor show. Mostly because the things shown there are rarely of any interest for anyone outside the Latin American Market and they’ve probably been released ages ago in other countries. But because of the funny way our cash-strapped market works they’re only being release here…

With the news breaking out that Volvo has decided to buy out Polestar, presumably to make them into their own personal AMG, everyone is asking the same question: I thought that Volvo had decided that the pursuit of speed wasn’t worth it and they’d instead focus their efforts in making the safest cars in the…
