Urban Ranger // CX-7 on Rennen Forged
The jeep lovers vs sedan lovers. Observe the toys-pile of a five year-old and you’ll have a pretty good guess at his future hobbies in life. Some collect robots. Others bikes. Some like supercars. Others jeeps and trucks. Looking at a broader perspective, automotive enthusiasts these days also do show a pretty strong polarity towards sedans vs jeeps as hobbies. …

Permaisuri Thursday // Tiguan on HRE
Meet the Tiguan. The famous Golf’s taller, larger and more adventurous older brother. Unfortunately, unlike it’s hatchback sibling’s worldwide popularity, the Tiguan is sort of lagging behind when it comes to sales, especially in the US. Reviewers say perhaps it’s due to the awkward proportions, or the “nothing to see here” styling of the exteriors, or the uninspiring “just another …

Permaisuri Thursday // F30 3 Series on DPE
Through the current gen of F30 3 Series, BMW has proven itself as the expert in designing sporty compact sedans. Which is actually not an easy task either, especially considering the fact that the F30 is larger in all aspects than the E90. How can you make a four-door sedan that’s longer than its predecessor look sportier than ever? Perhaps …

Deja Vu // Bob’s Subaru GC8 on Volk Rays
An ever-growing trend among car manufacturers’ rivalries these days is in the form of numbers “racing” (a race for higher HP and lower 0-60 times repeated on a yearly basis). A 1992 GC8 Subaru WRX, for example, came off the factory floor with 236HP. It’s rival, the 1992 Mitsubishi Evolution I topped the output simply by adding 8 extra HP, …

The Marvelous Coupe // 640i on ADV.1
Have you ever wondered what ‘BMW’ stands for? Apparently it’s Bayerische Motoren Werke, or Bavarian Motor Works in English. ‘Bavarian’ because one of BMW’s founding companies was headquartered in Bavaria, and ‘Motor Works’ because it used to specialize in the manufacture of engines/motors, especially aircraft engines. Why aircraft engines? Because BMW was conceived from the merger of three companies, two …
