IT MAY BE JUST US, BUT we’re not convinced by the new Mazda MX-30 styling. However, as we always say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so sales results will be the final arbiter.

SOME TIME AGO, seniordriveraus was amused to read that a 30s-model American sedan came equipped with a “starterator”. At the time, we mused that it could have been a name dreamt up by ex-US president George W Bush. As usual, everything old is new again, and we get a similar impression from Suzuki’s newly announced […]
THE PRESSURE FROM CHINESE car companies is increasing, as evidenced by the all-new Haval (it rhymes with “gravel”) H6 mid-size SUV. Value for money, impressive build quality and an extensive standard features list are all winning hearts and minds among Australian buyers. The new Haval H6 is destined for Australian showrooms in early April, and […]
IT’S NOT SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS often, but savvy marketers recognise that the Australian market isn’t the same as other markets, Australian buyers aren’t the same as other buyers and Australian requirements are often unique. Mazda Australia’s innovative engineering expertise has resulted in a uniquely Australian BT-50 range-topper: the Mazda BT-50 Thunder. Exclusive to the Australian […]
