So we got a 2017 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport

So we got a 2017 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport

Once you have kids, the time to drive two-seater sports cars goes out the window for the most part, unless you can sneak out of the house at odd hours of the day to go for a solo run. So it wasn’t with much enthusiasm that we received the latest version of the C7 Corvette, which is this Grand Sport. Meant to fill the gap between the Stingray Z51 and the Z06 (or is it now the Z07?

2018 Toyota Century reborn for another generation

It isn’t that rare in the automotive world for a car to go on sale for a very long period of time. The Land Rover Defender remained on sale, unchanged, for 67 years before the plug was pulled on it in 2016. The Toyota Century is a car more or less like the Defender. The second-generation one that ended production in early 2017 still flaunted the same classic design language that it debuted with in 1967. And now, there is a new one. But unlike the Defender, the new Toyota Century is equipped with modern age creature comforts that help it compete against other modern offerings.
