All-new Audi A5 Launched In Singapore

The new Audi A5 is familiar in silhouette but fresh in spirit, Ingolstadt’s way of reminding us that there’s still magic to be found in the four-door format. And yes, before you ask, this “Sedan” is technically a liftback. Audi’s naming convention might confuse at first blush, but what you’re really looking at is a car that replaces not one, but two models; the outgoing A4 Sedan and the A5 Sportback. So ...

Honda Civic e:HEV Review

The new Honda Civic grows up gracefully and gets clever along the way. Mention the Honda Civic in any conversation, and you’ll probably see a nostalgic smile or two.

But with electrification steadily reshaping the automotive landscape, even steadfast heroes like the ...

Hyundai's performance portfolio currently features the full-fledged 'N' models, vehicles engineered for enthusiasts seeking track-capable dynamics, and the 'N Line' variants, which offer sporty aesthetics with modest performance enhancements.

Ferrari Roma Spider Review

Ferrari has always had a way with convertibles, but it has been a long time since it last produced a front-engined Spider. Not since the legendary 365 GTS4 (better known as the Daytona) back in 1969 has Maranello given us a proper soft-top grand tourer with its engine up front. The Roma Spider, then, has some mighty shoes to fill. Of course, Ferrari’s naming conventions are as cryptic as ever. What exactly ...
