Feature: One love. "Tiffany" & interview with RWB founder Akira Nakai by Jordan Lenssen

In the heart of Chiba, Japan lies a shop completely oblivious to the untold eye. Operating as the workplace, and often sleeping quarters of RWB founder, Akira Nakai, its downtrodden exterior blends seamlessly with the environment around it. Hiding the automotive beauty and genius within, from the outside, it is a literal example of its owner's motto, "Rough World."

The list of automotive legends is brief, but it's in this place that Nakai san developed a concept that would put him amongst some of the greatest builders that the world – let alone Japan – will ever see...

Feature: Utility, refined: 2015 Nissan Murano review by Jordan Lenssen

...from the Maxima to the 350Z, 370Z, and the monstrous GT-R, each of these cars has always carried progressive styling, technology and driving character and that fits each identity perfectly. Until now, Nissan's SUV/CUV lineup seemed to miss at least one of these critical marks.

Which may be why partaking in this event was all the more important…

Feature: "B" means better: 2015 BMW Alpina B6 Gran Coupé review by Jordan Lenssen

BMW’s esteemed tuning partner, Alpina, sure knows what it’s doing. The BMW 6 Series Gran Coupé is a powerhouse in and of itself; my experience with it dates back to the Coupé’s infancy as the M6 on the streets around Road Atlanta in 2013, and it’s a car I’ve been waiting to get back in touch with ever since...

Feature: Monster Mustang: Vaughn Gittin Jr's Mustang RTR Spec 5 Concept by Jordan Lenssen

The 2015 Mustang has been all the rage since being officially launched in September, 2014. The bolder lines, standard selectable drive modes, all-new 2.3-liter turbocharged inline-four and fully-independent rear suspension have made this the ultimate muscle car for the 21st century. Being a previous Mustang owner and having test driven the 2015 2.3-liter and, more extensively, the GT Performance Package in California late last year, I can easily vouch that this S550 is a Mustang like no other.

Up until the 2014 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, I couldn’t imagine sitting in a hotter 2015...

Feature: Sharp dressed: 2015 Cadillac ATS Coupe review by Jordan Lenssen

...It marks a changing of the guard at the company long seen as the luxury “boatmaker” of the industry; cars that had creature comforts and were fantastic for bourgeoisie businessmen, but had little to compare when it came to the likes of their sportier, agile European counterparts. The larger CTS coupe paved the way, and now the ATS coupe has refined the sleeker, bolder and sharper representation the Cadillac brand – not only in design, but driving character. It’s also the first Cadillac to carry the company’s revised, sleeker crest...
