Magazine Feedback / Top Gear December 2007

Behind the Scenes This December

Very imprezzive
The all-new Subaru Impreza is such a stunner that this actually looks good even if it's just Vernon driving

Jaguar XF
Jag designer Ian Callum believes the new XF is the car to return his company to the forefront of automotive art

Popping the Chery
After a terribly botched start, Chinese cars finally land in our market. As predicted, they are aimed at the broad swath of the middle class. Paulo drives the diminutive and cheap QQ just to see what it's like to have a Chery logo on top.

These and more in the latest issue of Top Gear Philippines.

Last year (Aug), the gas price for super unleaded was only P37. Now it's already 43!!! >:(

For a full tank of 37 liters, that's almost P1600. Argh!!! When will it stop? :'(

Behind the Scenes This November

We go zoom-zoom in Guam
The fact you're now staring at the Mazda CX-9 crossover SUV means you'll soon get an alternative to the Nissan Murano and the Honda Pilot

The miseducation of a rally co-driver
Subaru flew Top Gear Philippines' version of Captain Slow to Malaysia to ride an official Impreza rally car. He got more depressed afterward

Freelander 2
Finally, a compact sport-ute that's both sporty and urbane. Oh, yes, brutally rugged, too. Well, any SUV built by Land Rover should be tough. It also made the Defender, after all.

These and more in the latest issue of Top Gear Philippines.

Behind the Scenes This October

Rated for punishment
The Jeep Wrangler Rubicon is the answer to prayers for a serious off-road machine with creature comforts. Macho looks are a bonus

Wrong car, right hearse
For Halloween, Li'l Devil Botchi helps FHM's Super Bong choose the right ride to the netherworld. Super Bong wants a strong aircon

Philippine First
When your descendants research the galactic Web, they will learn that this year marks the beginning of the Philippine International Motor Show. This issue will have been a collectible by then. Hoard multiple copies.

This September, Top Gear shows you three ways to love your car!

New BMW M3. For our third anniversary, the German carmaker couldn't have come up with a more mind-blowing present

Volvo C30. Another hot new car with the number '3' in its name. Still for our third birthday. Makes perfect sense

Big Test: Mercedes GL450 vs Audi Q7 vs Range Rover vs BMW X5

I'm a collector. Sad to say that they had to recall 'Sarge' for having lead content.
