  • Kia teases the all-new Sportage

    WITH THE OBVIOUS MOTIVE of raising interest ahead of the official launch, Kia has revealed the first official teaser images of the all-new Sportage – the fifth incarnation of the brand’s most popular SUV model (those who might enjoy taking a cheap shot might suggest this one won’t need to be parked away from flammable […]

  • Maserati marks 60th anniversary of Tipo 61 Nürburgring win

    AS WELL AS FINDING WAYS for you to spend your money (as if you needed our help!), we also consider it our obligation to remind you how quickly you (and we) grow old. Anniversaries have a unique way of reminding us how quickly the years have passed. On 28th May, Maserati celebrates a significant anniversary; exactly […]

  • Everrati unveils Porsche 911 EV

    AS YOU ARE PROBABLY AWARE, we are on a mission to ensure that you spend every last penny before you have to leave it to your offspring, but the new Everrati Porsche 911 (which would assuredly put a large dent in your legacy) is only available in the UK. In a move that would have […]

  • Toyota recalls C-HR due to fuel pump issue

    THE SUDDEN RUSH OF RECALLS continues with Toyota announcing a recall of the C-HR model produced between October 2019 to April 2021. The involved vehicles are equipped with a high-pressure fuel pump for the direct injection system, which may develop cracks over time leading to fuel leakage.

  • It’s only money. BMW M4 Competition convertible almost here

    IN OUR RELENTLESS QUEST to ensure that you spend all your money rather than leave it to undeserving (and almost certainly ungrateful) offspring, here is our latest temptation. The all-new BMW M4 Competition Convertible with xDrive, which had its world premiere on 26 May, will arrive in BMW Australia showrooms by the end of this […]

  • UK shows the way with young driver training

    IT HAS LONG BEEN OUR contention that driver training needs to start far earlier than it currently does, especially in Australia. Behaviours are ingrained at an early age, and driver training that starts at 16 or 17 years of age does little to change established attitudes and habits. The UK, unlike Australia, recognises the need […]

  • It’s official. Victoria will penalise EV drivers

    IN A DECISION THAT MOST will find inexplicable, Victoria will become the first state in Australia to tax electric vehicle drivers after controversial legislation passed both houses of parliament. In a move that has attracted the attention (and ire) of observers around the world, the Andrews government’s electric vehicle tax passed without amendment in the […]

  • Take your pick: a real Ferrari or a replica

    TIMES ARE CHANGING FOR replicas. Where they were once derided, many buyers are now recognising their affordability and greater usability. At the upcoming Shannons timed auction, you can opt for the real thing, in the form of a V6 Dino, or a period-built Ferrari 250LM replica that will fool most onlookers (until they open the […]

  • Nissan Ariya makes a grand Monaco entrance

    NISSAN ARIYA HAS MADE ITS FIRST PUBLIC APPEARANCE, fittingly undertaking its debut drive around the iconic Circuit de Monaco in the glamorous French Riviera (yet again, it would appear our invitation was lost in the post). The all-electric coupé crossover was perfectly complemented by the stylish Monaco backdrop, as Ariya completed laps of the famous […]

  • Mercedes-Benz and Maybach LWB models add extra mm

    FAR BE IT FROM US TO be so rude as to calculate just how much 180mm of luxury car might cost, but it could make for an interesting exercise with the new Mercedes-Benz S 580L 4MATIC and the new Maybach-badged V12 S 680, the new long-wheelbase variants in the range. For the record, the Maybach […]
