Volkswagen Tiguan 2012

The name 'Tiguan' sounds queer and recalcitrant. One would probably prefer more orthodox names like CR-V or RAV4 and rightly so, because they do sound better and more composed than the crossover vehicle from Volkswagen. More so, the unusual name is not the only reason why one would not choose the Tiguan. As a matter of fact there are at least a couple of reasons not to. But there are also numerous reasons why you should consider the Tiguan, and with the trusted VW badge right in front of the vehicle, it does go without saying. This crossover is certainly one to consider for exquisite comfort, safety and balance in driving. Lets take a look at what it has to offer.

Honda Accord 2008

One of the things I like about my home country Nigeria, is that we always have an alias for something that's trending. From the 'my oga at the top' mantra, to Akpo's jokes, to different dance styles that have come and gone...there's always an AKA for something new happening. This is also not uncommon to automobiles.
When Honda released  the 2003 Accord, we dubbed it EOD or "End of Discussion". Fast forward to 2006  when the Accord released at that time was called "Discussion Continues". In the year 2008 Honda tried its best to outdo every other Accord made in the past years. And guess what, they succeeded! Don't look now but here comes the Honda Accord 2008, inadvertently named "Evil Spirit".

Hyundai Accent 2012 (GLS Sedan)

Hyundai Accent 2012

For no immediately obvious reason, the very first car to be reviewed here, would be the very humble but impressive 2012 Hyundai Accent. Maybe its because I have used 2 generations of the model (currently have the 2012 model in my stable), or because you spot one in every 15 to 20 cars on the roads today. Asides the relatively competitive price tag, some other factors have led to its increasing numbers on our coal tar network. There are very few changes in the 2013 Accent, which is just fine by me. So we'll just do 2012.

Vrrooom...and we're off to a flying start!!

At the grand launch of the auto blog 'AUTOAKUKO', social elites were well represented amid pomp and pageantry. Government functionaries and corporate organisations were also present to witness the beginning of this great publication. Lots to eat and drink as soft classic music played from a 8-member on-stage live band.

At the keynote speech by the publisher of AUTOAKUKO, highlighted the reasons for the delay in the launch of this much awaited blog, the culprit being that a lot of work had been put into it and he wanted it all to be perfect. He said AUTOAKUKO was structured to be the one-stop location for auto buffs, ranging from broad headings like new car releases, test drives, car performance, car upgrades and  other car issues. Based in Nigeria but accessible the world over, the blog's candid reviews can be viewed and commented on from any part of the world.

Frankly if you really believed AUTOAKUO had a 'grand launching', then my friend you might just have a more colorful imagination than yours truly! Lets just get on with the show then. Happy scrolling.
