That one will soon behold a staple serving of the Cullinan on the roads of the UAE is not a matter of doubt. How often will one see it atop the big red or the intimidating dunes of Liwa is. Probably close to never! Yet, for the high-bodied vehicle of …
Toyota Camry 2018 First Drive: Force to reckon with
I have often been asked my informed opinion of, and sometimes random thoughts on, many cars: to buy, to avoid, or simply to compare. But there are some models that I have seldom been asked about: Toyota Camry is one of them. It belongs to a genre, of cars that …
Maserati GranTurismo 2018 Review: Natural Aspiration
Familiar muscle in a fresh finish snarled out of the Maserati garage – looking like a cloudy, ominous day. The looks that spent a decade being loved still celebrate the aggressive best of a gentleman. The exterior change was namesake and immediately visible in the bold vertical bars on the …
My first F-150 drive in a hundred years!
There must have been more than 150 of them, and they came in all shapes and cabin sizes. Base versions were few and performance models were plenty, for F-150 has a way of compelling owners to make the monster look even more formidable. The group was commemorating the 100th anniversary …

Renault Talisman 2017: Sophistique
Renault Talisman too has similar Korean origins like its predecessor Safrane. However, there is something French about the car apart from the badge itself, and I suspect it is the minimalism that greets you inside. THE DIMENSIONS in mm: 4848 x 2081 (door mirrors open) x 1752 (boot lid open) …
Ferrari GTC4Lusso Review: The Ferrari with a comfort mode
Spending a long weekend with a supercar, instead of the family, could be considered quite a self-centred act; and a car reviewer is no exception. In fact, it’s worse for the reviewer; because this is usually among the numbered occasions he gets to distract the world from noticing the wicked …
Honda CR-V Review: Stretching standards, and legs
The compact crossover segment is a tricky one. It is where every contender is pushing the limit to outgrow the segment itself, while keeping the price grounded. It is where one-upmanship shows up in gadgetry borrowed from the executive segment and legroom seems to grow twice as fast as the …
