Torque Talk: Going topless
“Summer breeze, makes me feel fine.” What springs to mind when we think of that iconic lyric from Seals and Crofts’ Summer Breeze song? For me, it’s a summer drive with the top down and not a care in the world. How often, however, do those with a convertible car actually go topless? It seems […]
Make it Mazda
Just when you thought the CX-9 was the ultimate luxury SUV from Mazda, we now have this. Called the CX-90 Takami, it is the new pinnacle of luxury with a Mazda badge. Is it any good though? The $93,490 CX-90 Takami sits atop the Mazda family, not just in terms of their SUVs, […]

Since then, the Bologna-based company has grown into a […]

A cracker car: Armstrongs
When Peugeot springs to mind, I can’t help but think of fun, urban kick-arounds like the hot hatch icon 205 GTi and small but sprightly 106 GTi. Ben Selby reports. The essence of these fun pugs seems to continue today thanks to the new Peugeot e-208 GT, a car which looks to the […]
