If there is anything Mercedes Benz got right, it has been the transformation of the A class, it used to look like a smaller mommy car which is similar to the current B Class. I remember that before the A Class was launched it was said that it was targeted at a younger audience and...

The Big Bodied Volvo S90
My love for big bodied sedans comes from a video by DMX – ‘How It’s Going Down’ that came out in 1998. In the video, DMX drives an S Class 600 with chrome rims – what an iconic time in hip hop, I still love that video even to this day. When Volvo called me...

The Jaguar F-Pace …
Someone said that the SUV is the new station wagon and to be honest, I think that’s what has happened. The trend of SUV has taken over the market in the last few years, especially since the introduction of the X5. I’m all for aesthetics and design so when Jaguar got a new design I...
