2023 Suzuki S-Cross 1.5 Hybrid Comfort+ – Why Even Bother
Welcome, to a 2023 Suzuki S-Cross 1.5 DualJet Hybrid Comfort+ ! Fuck me. I was just beating the hell out of Porsches on track, and now, I’m stuck behind the wheel of this. Look at this thing: It looks confusingly pissed off at who ever designed it. Like a Soviet propagandist plopped in the middle…

2023 VW Touran – Touch Me Haptically
Wassup ya buncha featherless bipeds. I’ve got the keys to a VW Touran (whatever that is) and Switzerland as my playground! You know the age old debate of “good car – bad road vs bad car – good road”? This. This is that debate. God help me. But we’ll get to that later. First, the…

Here we see Mr. Stockholm Swedishdiesel tending to the topic at hand. It makes a fella proud to see a CEO working on his own fleet in this economy.

Chevy HHR SS – The Anatomically Incorrect Hot Hatch
From an 1880’s abandoned covanent school the skinwalker presents: As all conversations start about this car, one simply asks: why would one ever buy that thing. Well, it was quite simple. I like going fast, I like stupid vehicles, and I like handling. Now you may wonder how an HHR could ever do any of…
