The R35 Nissan GT-R is a bit of a miracle in the automotive world – it’s been around for over 15 years. First introduced in 2007, the GT-R was the long-awaited replacement to the legendary R34 Skyline GT-R that had stopped production in 2002. In an industry where new cars tend to pop up every five years, the R35’s incredible longevity is perhaps a testament to its enduring design and performance.

This was the challenge posed to us by Coventry Motors Corporation president Chris Ward. Full disclosure: Jaguar Philippines invited AutoFun.ph to a day trip to Tagaytay to have a taste of the I-PACE along with an early brunch at Dear Joe's coffee shop inside Crosswinds. This is my first time driving the Jaguar I-PACE, and my observations a

Mazda's booth at the Philippine International Auto Show (PIMS) had the MX-5 Miata as its centerpiece, but its CX-8 all-wheel-drive Exclusive six-seater crossover stablemate piqued some curiosities. This was because the family crossover has had minor changes to its exterior. The front grille (precisely the space behind the telltale wing-shaped Mazda logo) had redesigned slats resembling interlocked zippers. Additional chrome adorned the front bumper.
