Some time ago I asked myself a question: What’s going on with Honda? Hoping that this weird trend Honda was presenting in recent years will somehow get reversed. Hoping that they will announce a new S2000 – faster, lighter and… better. That TypeR badge will fight back for it’s name – to lead again in the class. And instead, they release CR-Z model… (and here I should put some fancy “facepalm” jpg to express my feelings more precisely). Read more…
And here comes yet another version of Fiat (Abarth) 500. It’s getting more and more difficult to choose a car these days. In this particular case (talking about Fiat 500) the emerging versions seem to have no end.
You can have regular 500 or “cabrio” version. If You like more edge – You can choose Abarth 500. Still not satisfied? You can have the Assetto or Esseesse tuning package installed, by Your local dealer, if the original raw version is not enough for You. In few months Abarth 500 will be available in “cabrio” version . Read more…
4th generation Ibiza was released last spring. The car collected good reviews regarding quality and driving capabilities. VW is a respected producer – Seat = VW, therefore buying Ibiza was good value for money… but somehow time passed and there weren’t many of them on the streets. And I know the reason…
Seat is a VW brand that is meant to be sporty. Along it’s more boring co-producers (VW and Skoda) it always looks more aggressive and modern. And it gives good results. When talking about small Ibiza: 30% of it’s buyers chooses sport versions! So it seems strange that they waited so long to release these two to the public… but they finally arrived: FR and Cupra versions will be available to buy in few months. Read more…
Good news for muscle car enthusiasts living on the “Old Continent”: New Camaro is officially coming to Europe next year!
No precise date is known yet. Neither the pricing. We know that in the US it’s sold for a while now with 3 engine versions to choose from. Weakest one (3.6l V6) produces 304 BHP. There is also V8 available (400 BHP automatic and 426 BHP manual).
The pricing starts from 23k USD and goes up to 36k USD. Ehhh… the US prices – must love them. Probably in Europe the prices will reach 40-50k euro (that’s about twice as much as in US!!!) – so it will be pretty expensive. Especially knowing the US price difference, it seems outrageous. Read more…
Ken Block may not be the most titled driver in the world. But for sure is becoming more and more known and recognized. You can’t deny that he knows how to “sell” himself to the audience. First version of Gymkhana practice, was a big online success (You can watch the video at the end of the post).
Now he went further, and just released the second part. It is more of a show than actual “practice” drive, but still there is a lot to cheer the eyes! Great shots with the slow motion camera!
I don’t really like the paint gun idea (it doesn’t make much sense, it’s copied from Top Gear… but it’s just bugging from my side ). On the whole the slow motion stunts are very effective. The scene with fire in slowmo… amazing.
As usual, the only car choice possible: Subaru Impreza STI You can check out Crawford Performance at work building the car in next movie…
Recent Toyota IQ premiere was a big success. All car media were talking about it. The car is said to revolutionize the way people look at city cars. And I almost believed that. The car is perfectly designed for this one purpose. Its about 180 inches long (less than 3 m) and is a 4-seater. Toyota did everything possible to make the people space the biggest possible in the car this size.
