Friday Feature: 2022 Honda Civic SI
This week’s blog post is all about the 2022 Honda Civic SI. This car is actually quite nice and I have to admit this is definitely up there on my list of favourite cars. It is very unique and bold and Honda did a good job of really making this car stand out. I mean it is considered a sports car after all. But I want you to picture this, 18 inch matte black alloy tires paired alongside the iconic paint color – blazing orange pearl. Tell me this wouldn’t make your head turn if you saw one passing in the street. Now, add a specially tuned chassis and impressive…

Drive Festival 2023
Last weekend (Sept 8-10) Drive Festival was held at the Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, and although it was quite popular I still feel like a feature post would boost next years’ attendance. 2023 marked 3 years for this event, so still quite new out there, but that didn’t stop motorheads alike from attending. Drive Festival is the ultimate car show for gearheads in Canada, so it’s no surprise that new car technology and test drive opportunities are featured on the three test tracks at this event. In 2021, when the event was held from Sept 10-12, Drive Festival made history. 17,000 people attended and this helped to make Drive Festival…

Movie Review: Gran Turismo
In this week’s blog post, I decided to change things up a little, and do a movie review. I will be reviewing the movie ‘Gran Turismo’ which believe it or not, is based on a true story. This movie is a prime example of a young kid with a burning desire to follow his dreams, and he shows that dreams really can come true, if you work hard enough to achieve them. Movie Summary This true story follows a team made from some unlikely people – a working-class gamer, a former race-car driver, and an idealistic motorsport executive – who come together and risk it all to take part in…

Company Profile: Lexus – Marketing History
In this week’s blog post, I will be covering the history behind one of my favourite car brands and just what it took for them to position themselves in the automotive industry the way they have. That’s right, I’m talking about Lexus. So I think the best way to start this week’s post, is to venture a little into the history of the Lexus car company. Lexus was established in 1983, around the same time as its Japanese rivals, Honda and Nissan created their luxury divisions, Acura and Infiniti. Owned and operated under the Toyota Motor Corporation, Lexus cars were originally manufactured in Japan. It was only recently (in 2003)…
