Gran coupe. The one automotive colloquialism that I can never agree that is a thing. But what the hell, it’s just marketing mambo jumbos anyways. Since it is thing (not by my choosing. I digress), I will take it that it is understood to be a sporty vehicle of higher classes.

This is the 1939 Bentley Corniche. Not the classic Bentley that was lost to a wartime bombing raid in France during World War II. It was not even a restore mod, btw. It is a ground-up rebuild by Mulliner, the British marque’s coachbuilding division. What’s really impressive was, it was rebuilt based solely on the […]

2020 BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe Is Yet Another Coupe But with 4 Doors
I really don’t get it. A coupe is described as “a car with a fixed roof, two doors, and a sloping rear.” But here we are, a sedan from BMW calling itself a coupe, or in this case a Gran Coupe. We shall dispense with the inevitable luxury bits that comes with the 2020 BMW […]

Mercedes-Benz had a lot to show at this year’s Geneva Motor Show and among them was this, the Mercedes-AMG S65 Final Edition, the luxury performance that wrote the final page of the V12 S-Class.

Yup. This is it. The all-new eight generation Rolls-Royce Phantom luxury sedan, christened 2018 Rolls-Royce Phantom VIII. Nothing much here.

Velvet-wrapped Maserati Ghibli Is A Ride Fit For The Royalty
When getting your ride all chromed out was deemed insane, people thought why not matte paint job too? Since then, chrome or even gold-plating car is not a thing that wows anymore (well, at least not as much as before). It was the matte paint or wrap which was all the rage. Just when you […]

Volvo Adds Sporty Touches To S90 And V90 With R-Design Models
Volvo is not exactly synonymous with performance rides. Safety, for sure, but certainly, not in the performance department. Though they are by no means slouch in that aspect. However, the Swede automaker sure knows a thing or two about sporty looks, which is what its R-Design models are about. Today, another two rides join the […]
Daimler Foray into the Ultra Luxurious Car Market with the New Mercedes-Maybach S-Class
Some brands are just not retention worthy. If history is any indication, among those brands is Maybach. With a history dating as far back as 1909 (which would make it over a century old if it had continued), the marque had seen turbulent time and though revived in 2002, it fell victim to poor sale […]
