Let’s Name it After a Jet Fighter!
I just picked up some news about a totally uninteresting car today. Uninteresting, primarily because I wouldn’t look at it twice when I were to see it on the roads. But the fact that some carmakers still come up with […]

The Taxi of Tomorrow

Nissan’s Invitation to Ford and VW to Come up with Something Prettier
The Romans already said it, or at least it’s Latin: “de gustibus non disputandum est”. Means as much as “there’s no arguing about taste”. But if you ask me this is not so likely to apply to the replacement of […]
