An Agressively Styled Cadillac Escalade Spotted in the Philippines

    This menacing-looking Caddy Escalade was seen parked next to a Filipino food joint around Quezon City. The SUV's chrome trims, aggressive wheels, and dark tinted windows created a sinister tone.


    This rap-lyric-ridden truck, a full-sized luxury SUV, was produced by General Motors from the years 2001 to 2006. It was built on GM's GMT800 chassis, the same foundation used by the previously shown Hummer H2. Its kind came as a rear-wheel drive per standard and was built to a 5.3 L V8 engine, creating up to 295 brake horsepower, perfect for its three ton weight.


    Escalades, or Cadillacs in general, were never officially sold here. They were transported and brought here through the grey import market policy, and for such a big brash car, it certainly would've costed a ton. And for a car with such adornments, it came with leather bucket seats, a Bulgari-branded clock, chrome trims all around, and an option for a touchscreen-navigated GPS system.


    Seen here at the back were its numerous parking sensors, the exhaust's muffler pointing sidewards, and its bold Cadillac logo on the middle of the tailgate, truly out-there for a car like this.


    This land boat set ashore was too large, even for the featured photo. It had a length of 18 feet, longer than its Range Rover and BMW X5 counterparts, an American engineering marvel down to its core.


    The impressive vehicle, seen from its side, had a bit of dirt going on, likely having traveled far to get here, unusual for a luxury car for its caliber. Fortunately, the chrome air vents and door handles stayed shiny and clean while its enlarged fenders boasted its offroading experience.



    However, what steals the spotlight in this certain Cadillac were its rims. Its six-spoke snake-like wheels stood out boldly on an already brazen car. Its disc brakes, although hard to see, were no match for the huge aura the vehicle emitted.


    Despite the Escalade's long journey, coming all the way from the United States, its impressive machinery and surprising reliability, especially for a GM car, it just wasn't ready to give up the gun.

A Tuned Sporty White Mercedes-Benz C207 E 350 Spotted in the Philippines

Image
     If looks are your thing to kill for, the eight year period between 2010 and 2017 could be Mercedes-Benz's bloodiest year, with the C207 as the culprit. Lauded as one of the most beautiful cars of 2010, the C207 takes the cake with its sleek and sporty proportions. However, when tuned up and modified with an appropriate budget, the C207 becomes murder.       Exuding flair as style meets sophistication, the C207 was a special kind of E-Class, not due to its design or its equipment, but due to it being built on a C-Class platform, Mercedes's smaller saloon. Manufactured in the same factory as the C-Class in Bremen, the C207 blasted its high-performance rivals during its eight year period with its 3.5L V6 engine.       Generating a mighty 300 brake horsepower, coupled with 370 Nm of torque, the C207 had a top speed of 250 km/h, while having a 0 to 100 acceleration between 6.4 and 6.5 seconds. While it had a nuke for an engine with ...

A Sporty Greyed-Out Honda City RS Hatchback Spotted in the Philippines

Image
     Since 1996, the Honda City was a 4-door subcompact sedan known for its affordability. It was seated a rank below the Civic and was sold in a number of developing nations, from Thailand, to South Africa, and all the way to Brazil. Often overlooked, the City was always seen as its older brother's cheap counterpart, or the poor man's Civic. However, with the release of the new City, some say it may have found its rightful place.      But before 1996, the City started out as a cheap economy hatchback sold around Europe and Australia. However, almost 40 years after the dissolution of the hatch variant, the city car returns as the replacement for the Jazz, carrying a longer body, a lower roofline, and a more German sense of fashion.      The City's rear takes inspiration from the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, but takes its sloping roofline from the Audi A1. From the sides, it takes appearance of a mini-CR-v with a resemblance to the proportions of a ...

     A Hyundai Sonata in pure snow white, spotted parked in front of an old office in Quezon City. The Sonata was about nine years old, counting down to its tenth birthday, but was still in pristine condition.
