Here it is in the flesh – the new MINI Paceman. It is MINI’s 7th iteration to join in the long diversified family. Dubbed as the Sports Activity Coupé, the Paceman is the first SAC of the many stylings offered in the MINI family, which at first glance, resembles its bigger brother, the Countryman.

Yes – this is because the Paceman shares the same platform as the Countryman. At the same time, it also shares the same engine and drivetrain as its bigger brother too. But that is where the similarities end.

At TIMETOATTACK, we have created a home for the negative flushers. The stance culture has taken the world by storm and where most would see it as an impracticality, these guys are set to go negative camber in the name of style and culture.

EPICSTANCE@TIMETOATTACK proved a success at 2012′s final round, with 150 stanced-out cars grazing the parking lot! From lemons to peaches, the stance cult made their way to Sepang International Circuit’s parking lot, and showed to the performance biased enthusiasts that – STANCE matters!

Driven: 2013 Honda CR-V tested in Langkawi Island

The soft roader market became apparent when Honda first release their rendition in 1995. Dubbed the ‘Comfort Roundabout Vehicle’, over 5million has been produced and we are now down to the fourth generation CR-V, and even before it was launched in March, Honda Malaysia had already received over 1000 bookings.

Honda has managed to changed the idea of having a 4WD. Back in the days, people bought tall-riding four-wheel-drives for rough use, going into thick jungles and muddy water. But with the concept of the CR-V, owning a ‘go-anywhere’ family car, that is easily drivable and practical became an option. Almost 20 years after the launch of the first generation, the CR-V badge lives on.

The market may be flustered for choices these days, with the Nissan X-Trail, Hyundai Santa-Fe and Kia Sportage. This only means Honda had to step up their game where once they monopolised.

As much as modern cars go these days, sometimes it just doesn’t cut it for some enthusiasts. To these blokes, a modern car like the Bugatti Veyron or the Pagani Huayra doesn’t carry the same beauty and grandeur as to a 1967 Ferrari 330 GTS or a 1961 Mercedes Benz 300SL Gullwing. And we agree – these cars are exquisite. They were built at a time when the TV was still showing in black & white.

It seems that the upcoming Shanghai Auto Show is THE hot spot for manufacturers to launch their new creations. Big names like Maserati and Porsche will be showcasing their hot new sport sedans – even Bugatti has something line-up to present in China. Rather, like the highly appraised Geneva, Shanghai is set to feature some pretty hot automobiles too! ~

Not missing the fun, Mercedes is set to release, yet another instalment from the A-Class chassis. Named the GLA Concept, it simply looks almost identical to the A-Class, but with a stance of a sports utility vehicle (SUV). This will sit in the hierarchy, below the GLK, however it sets a more athletic outlook compared to the GLK. Definitely more rugged looking than the A and CLA at the same time.
