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 phenomenal oomph, inside, the interior was muc

Merlin black 2007 Mitsubishi Galant 240M in the Philippines

Image
     A black Mitsubishi Galant, sitting in front of a three-way junction. It had an old coat of paint, unwaxed and dull. The old car still retained all its stock parts and still seemed to be used daily.      There were patches of paint on the hood that seemed to grow faint. The headlights too looked foggy and faded, which made the car look quite unsafe to drive at night, due to its decreased light output.      The car's rear also featured the same paint shine seen on the front. The rear bumper had parking sensors and a large single exhaust tip. An emblem displaying the local name of the Galant's model sat on the corner edge of the trunk, the "240M".      The interior gave an old-man feel, as if it were driven by someone of age above retirement. The seats' leather was scratched up and the wood polishing found by the door didn't look so glossy anymore. Meanwhile, the car was fitted with a 4-speed automatic gearbox, notable for a car of its refinement

A Classy Pitch Black Lexus ES 350 Spotted in the Philippines

Image
     Short for "Elegant Sedan", The Lexus ES 350, as seen here, is part of Lexus's series of luxury sedans. This stealthy luxury saloon, part of the sixth generation of Lexus's mid-size sedans, would not give it justice by simply calling it subtle. Its under-the-radar appeal to consumers make it a perfect choice for those wanting to go unnoticed by the crowd, those wanting less flash and more dash.      The gen six ES was revealed during the New York International Auto Show on 2012, along with its hybrid variant. Saying goodbye to its Camry-like looks as if it were a half-brother, it then started sporting features as if it were a close relative instead. Built solely in Lexus's manufacturing plant in Japan for the domestic market, the ES 350 was priced at about ₱3.5 million. Despite carrying a hefty price tag with the lack of looks, it was justified by what came with it inside.      It was fitted with a smooth and quiet 3.5L V6 engine, capable of generating up to 2
