First drive: 2012 McLaren MP4-12C in Dubai
It isn’t everyday that media people get to drive a supercar. Well, in our case, we never get to drive a supercar. The closest we’d come before was the Nissan GT-R, but that’s stretching it. But then we finally managed to talk ourselves into the driver’s seat of one.

Honda Accord 2013 in sedan, coupe and hybrid trims
As one of the most successful cars of all time, Honda’s designers surely have gone through a dangerous phase designing the new Accord, not only because there is pressure from past and current owners who expect to be impressed, but because there are a whole slew of new buyers the automaker is looking to impress.
