I’m a little surprised that Kia hasn’t added AWD to the Carnival yet, especially given how much it plays up the SUV-like design Read more

I’ve never seen a 222D in person, that’s definitely up there on my list. I did see an SW20 TRD2000GT at a Daikoku parking lot meet when I was in Japan a year and a half ago, that was an incredible spot. Read more

The Audi E-Tron GT will also be getting a facelift this year, it should get all of the same performance and efficiency improvements Read more

I’m not a big fan of modern Audi interior designs, but here I mean less exciting in terms of design changes for the GT specifically Read more
