Test drive basic off-road SUVs
We are talking about the most authentic of its kind: Mitsubishi Pajero, Nissan Pathfinder and Toyota Landcruiser do not obey the road fashion. Land Rover Defender does even less. A real SUV gives the impression that you are driving beyond the boundaries of civilization - even when the next village is behind the nearest hill. For such an illusion, a scree is enough if it is dug into the ground and looks like a closed biotope. Such, for example, is the off-road park in Langenaltheim – the perfect location to inspire three Japanese 4×4 legends and pit them against the old European Land Rover Defender rugged landlord. He started first - as a scout, so to speak, who must find his way. If the Protector runs into trouble, it will mean the end of the adventure for...

Mitsubishi ASX driver test
ASX stands for Action Sports Crossover, and Mitsubishi unveiled it as the cX study at last year's Frankfurt Motor Show. In Japan, it has been known as RVR since February this year. It is unknown why the different names, and why Mitsubishi chose the acronym and not the name that all of their other models have.

Mitsubishi marketers say it's aimed primarily at customers who are otherwise drawn to midsize cars, but also for those choosing between smaller minivans. Thus, this is its…

Underfoot spinning, spinning, spinning! Today, more and more right-hand drive cars are spinning around the capital and the country in general - you can study the variety of original Japanese design. At first, the design of the current fifth generation Mitsubishi L200 did not work out: the front part was designed as if hastily, it came out clumsily. The car was announced by the spectacular GR-HEV concept, but it was created after the controversial serial appearance was approved.
