Italdesign Giugiaro GEA Concept Teased Again Before Geneva [VIDEO]

Prior to the official debut during the 2015 Geneva Motor Show next month, Italdesign Giugiaro has shared another teaser of its new model this time in the shape of a video. Described as “the future luxury mobility vision”, the GEA Concept turns into a subject that raises a lot of questions and gives no answers so far. Some time ago, the manufacturer released an image that showed nothing else but the red paint work of the car as well as the pro

2015 Lada Has in Mind a Supercar Concept? [VIDEO]

Have you heard about the Lada brand? If you have, then you are probably coming from Russia or Eastern-Europe. The cars of this brand were famous (and still are) for their durability, rigidness, tough handling and dynamics. We won’t discuss the looks of the cars, just google them and make your own judgment. In 2012 we have seen that the company was revived and is now proudly part of Renault-Nissan alliance which is world's fourth-largest automobile manufacturer. What we were longing to see was a special Lada conc

Porsche will make a double world premiere in Geneva next week. We have seen the first car that is going to be officially presented and it is the Cayman GT4.

The only thing that the company said is that it will be “another exceptional Porsche” that is destined to bring new standard in terms of performance. And does this mean that actually the company is enjoying making high-performance vehicles suitable for everyday

Rolls Royce Phantom Al-Adiyat is Inspired by Equestrian Power

If you think that Rolls-Royce is that old-fashioned automaker that changes nothing, well you’d be wrong. At least in term of the way it is communicating its news. For a long time now the company is using its official facbook page to announce special edition models like the one we are going to review. What we have at hand is a beautiful Phantom Coupe, styled in “Al-Adiyat” theme. In Arabic “Al-Adiyat” stands for the noise which a powerful horse

Is this the new Civic? No, it’s Honda Jazz

Honda Jazz Prototype debuted last year at the Paris Motor Show. Back then, I remember when looking at it for the first time I though that it is like the Civic. Fortunately, my hopes and expectations proved right and now we have a production Jazz that has carried over the beautiful looks of its prototype form. The car definitely seems to have higher ground clearance than the Civic and is with wider proportions, hence delivering more interior space. As we can expect from Honda, the new Jazz will be fitted with adv
