We’d like to see these turned into posters

Skylines didn't always scream performance. The MX-5 wasn't always so angry. The Suzuki Jimny wasn't always so big (lol). And the Subaru Impreza? It didn't always look like-well okay, this one always did look like it

Carmakers got pretty busy this week

Who needs friends, anyway?

Mini off-roading done right

We've been stuck at home for almost five months. Five months, people. Chances are, many of us have run out of hobbies to try out to keep ourselves busy over that period, too. If, however, you've yet to delve into

That’s...a lot

When the all-new Suzuki Jimny was launched early last year, many salivated over the mini off-roader's macho new design, improved comfort, and relatively well-rounded overall package. We even chose the vehicle as our Car of the Year for

Some subtle touches that add a bit more pizzazz to the tiny 4x4

One man's trash is another man's treasure, right? Well, this restomodded Maruti Suzuki Omni from the guys at Holy Shift Garage is a prime example of that.The Omni-also known as the Carry in other markets-is an 800cc

Does this count as off-roading?

Ply these streets long enough and, chances are, you've come across fellow motorists backtrack from missed turns in the most facepalm-worthy ways possible.Maybe you've seen a car reverse into oncoming traffic to catch their exit on the North

The brand just turned a century old

Looms. Suzuki started out manufacturing looms. Just like many other carmakers, the Japanese brand first made a name for itself producing something other than, well, cars.The Suzuki Loom Manufacturing Company was founded by Michio Suzuki on March 15, 1920-meaning, yes,

Expect a lot of launches in PH in the coming weeks

It’s all sorts of crazy but also a whole lot of fun

Alright, so the Suzuki Jimny is our reigning Car of the Year. The Japanese carmaker's tiny off-roader beat out some pretty stiff competition, including but not limited to the all-new Toyota Supra, Kia Stinger, and all-new Mazda 3.

Can you guess their inspiration?

Where Suzuki has taken a decidedly modern approach with its Jimny 'Sierra Marine Style' concept for the 2020 Tokyo Auto Salon, aftermarket specialist DAMD is going the other way, opting to style the popular off-roader after two classic 4x4s. Look at
