Suzuki Ignis Review

The little car that punches above its weight… and price!

It is now based on the same platform is its more opulent Range Rover and Range Rover Sport siblings. Which of course makes it less Farmer Faisel and more more Sheikh Salman.

I defend the Toyota Supra & and THAT BMW grille [Kinda]

With the Supra heading back and the BMW 4 Series arriving I reflected on their controversial aspects

Defending the Toyota Supra and THAT controversial BMW kidney grille. Well, kinda. As the Supra headed back and the new BMW 420i M Sport arrived for me to review, I realised both are the subject of sometimes heated discussion and debate among petrolheads and car enthusiasts.
