Will this depressing fad of dipping everything in black never end…?

Sprint Review: Audi Q3 Sportback 40TFSi quattro S-Line
Another day, another compact crossover. Audi figuratively stuck their second-gen Q3 into a press, squeezed it into a hatchback, pardon, coupé, pardon, Sportback shape and charges you extra for the loss in practicality.
Sprint Review: Volvo XC90 T6 Inscription
You’ve made it this far. That big Volvo is keeping you awake at night and all you require is a nudge over (or away from) the purchasing ledge. We’re always happy to help.
Sprint Review: 2019 Opel Astra 1.6T Sport OPC Line
My word, this car’s name is quite a mouthful. So is it a real OPC or just a Sport? Read on to find out…
Sprint Review: Ford Fiesta 1.0T Titanium Auto
Good breeding, clever design and cool colours – surely this is a winning recipe?
Sprint Review: Kia Sportage 1.6T GT-Line DCT
One new car, lots of information in short paragraphs.
What you need to know: Kia’s new Sportage is closely related to its Korean cousin, the Hyundai Tucson. Besides sharing a lot of technology, the relation is evident in both vehicle’s stylish looks. Where a Tucson shows flowing lines, the Sportage was penned with more determined strokes of the pen.
Tested: Nissan Juke 1.2T Acenta
Frog, Prince or Juke? We take a good look at this unique Nissan.
Henrie Geyser
Some think it looks foxy, others think it looks like a frog peering out of a marshy pond but love it or hate it, you cannot ignore the restyled Juke cross-over.
Tested: Honda Civic (Sedan) Sport
The striking sedan
Have you noticed how some cars are starting to look the same? Not to name and shame, I can think of a few luxury marques whose range can only be deciphered by a veteran salesperson or the designer himself. Happily, Honda didn’t get that idea (yet), especially with their new Civic sedan.
Tested: Mercedes-Benz C300 Coupé Edition 1
The flowing beauty
In the eye of the beholder. Beauty can be a fickle, fleeting and quite subjective matter but occasionally it can also be universal. This most certainly applies to the Mercedes-Benz C300 Coupé I tested recently because everyone – every single observer I talked to – noted how pretty it looked.
Tested: 2016 Honda Civic Type R
The big power
The motoring industry often develops its own names for certain genres of automobiles. Softroaders, MPV’s, Sports Sedans all denominate a category of car but none is more revered than the fabled Hot Hatch. After spending a week with Honda’s new Civic Type-R, I’d like to propose a rethink of that classification.
