If there is one badge that never needed explaining, it is GTI. You see it, you get it. For five decades, the Volkswagen Golf GTI has been doing the impossible trick of being fun, fast, practical, and somehow still sensible enough to park outside a grocery store without looking ridiculous—even […]
Wait a minute… is Honda all in on EVs now? Probably. Or maybe it’s just hedging its bets with a multi-prong strategy. Either way, Honda is clearly having fun experimenting again. At the Japan Mobility Show 2025, the Japanese automaker unveiled another EV prototype that looks ready to reboot the […]
Well, what do you know? Kao Corporation isn’t alone in making a video game to create awareness of its products. Hyundai is doing it too. At the world’s largest video game trade fair and convention, Gamescom, Hyundai not only showed up with the INSTEROID Concept Car, but also debuted a […]

It’s like if a […]
The Volkswagen Polo has officially hit the big five-oh, and to mark the occasion, it’s getting a snazzy new outfit. Say hello to the Polo Edition 50, a special anniversary model that’s part nostalgia, part tech upgrade, and very much still fun-sized. Built on the ‘Style’ trim, the Edition 50 […]
