The convoy of brand new Hyundai Velosters and Elantras were all dressed up and ready to head down Cipriani Boulevard and Ariapita Avenue.Aside from the viewings at the showroom, the event was designed to debut the brand new Veloster to the public, parade-style. As the cars took their sweet time to move along, they effortlessly turned heads and slowed traffic all evening long. Naturally, the breathtaking Hyundai models in their racer-girl outfits also managed to capture everyone’s attention too, making everyone forget that they were ever in a hurry. The Hyundai men also flanked the crawl carrying backlit signs that, along with photos of the new Veloster and Elantra, invited people to join th...

Last year there was so much rain that the King of the Hill had to be cancelled but this year things seemed off to a great start.

Nissan announces the Juke-R : The Ultimate Compact Crossover : JUKE-R SET TO INJECT NEW EXCITEMENT INTO THE CROSSOVER MARKET Not content with re-shaping the new car market by pioneering the crossover - a success reflected in the soaring sales of its Qashqai and Juke models - Nissan is now creating the Juke-R, the first ever super crossover. Only two Juke-Rs will be created, one in left-hand-drive and one in right-hand-drive.

'Bagodex 2011 : Every year, for the last three years running there has been a Solodex score to settle between the islands of Trinidad and Tobago. The Trinis, being naturally cocky, usually think that they have the competition in the bag– after all, there is a full season of Solodex each year plus, practice events at ARC so they have more seat time. It is a fairly established fact that drivers who are regulars of winding roads like those in Princes Town or Maracas Valley, for example, seem to have an easier time on the course, once they manage to grasp it. This quiet phenomenon has allowed Tobagonian competitors to refine their natural ability thanks to the roads they drive on every day. They are in a sense like the Bajans, except that the roads in Barbados are far more slippery.

Hyundai reveals first images of new i30 : High Wycombe, 7 September 2011 – Hyundai has revealed the first photo of the new-generation i30, ahead of the car’s world premiere at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show (IAA) next week, showing an exciting new look for the company’s best-selling C-segment hatchback.

Suzuki Swift Sport to debut in Frankfurt : The all-new Swift Sport offers higher power and lower fuel consumption are delivered by the 1.6-litre M16A engine, developed exclusively for the Sport model. The engine is mated to a six-speed manual transmission, also developed specifically for the Swift Sport. We can also look forward to superior cornering stability and brisker, more responsive handling thanks to struts with internal rebound springs and an exclusive rear-suspension design. The car will debut at Frankfurt this coming September at the IAA International Auto Show 2011 and hopefully we'll be seeing a few at Lifestyle Motors shortly after. With all the great improvements on the all-new chassis for the regular Swift 1.4, we can't wait to get our hands on this model for a test drive!

PM announces limited State of Emergency : August 22, 2011: Several areas in Trinidad and Tobago will be under a curfew from 9 pm to 5 am under the proclamation of the limited State of Emergency.

ILMR-Article-Lead Synergy in collaboration with Streetwise Sounds hosted the I Love My Ride Car Show at Mid Centre Mall. The venue was packed with crowds and traffic of near-flugtag proportions, it seems being early is something many Trinis are still adapting to. The show featured a good mix of some of the car show veterans, the current audio blockbuster champions and lots of new cars seldom before seen. Naturally, highlights of the car show will be aired on the popular Synergy TV-series I Love My Ride hosted by Rodney Granado.

Neilon of Streetwise sounds commented "If we had a venue even as large as the stand area at the Queen's Park Savannah, it would have easily been filled." There was no doubt that there were thousands in attendance with some patrons and competitors being stuck at the car park unable to enter due to the sheer number of people already inside. There were a number of car crews present, with veterans like Chop Shop and Drop Shop bringing new rides to the forefront. The Barely Legal Crew had the crowd going wild with their twin helicopter pickups on display in the arena. The bikers also had a very strong showing and even a few V8 cars and professional racers showed up like the RB-powered Datsun 1200 known as Mad Cow and Jody Ali's time attack Subaru Impreza STi. For those stuck in the Car Park the lime started in true Trini fashion with trunks opening and cars cranking up the sounds. Duce Man, brother of Soca artiste Swappi also entertained the crowds while Synergy hosts Peter C. Lewis and Serala were also in the mix. Everyone who was able to attend had a memorable car show experience and a few lucky gents managed to land a photo op with the lovely Pepsi girls.

Rumour has it that there may be some collabolration between Synergy TV and the I Love My Ride Car Show series and Streetwise Sounds for the upcoming Great Race Car and Boat show in August at the Queen's Park Savannah. We are going to be super-early for that one, traffic will probably be going for miles!
