Lexus RC 200 F Sport is Lexus to a T – a 200t
Lexus’s (or is it Lexi) vehicles seem to be more ‘Sculpted’ than manufactured. Their lines and curves have more of artistry about them than pure automotive design.

Out of Focus – Ford Focus RS
Ford Focus RS review New Zealand Being a child of the 60’s has meant that many of my formative years crossed over the 70’s/80’s period, these (of course) are in my opinion some of the most incredible of decades.

Late – Honda Civic
