An affordable EV comparison, a shouty German brand is unveiled, impossibly stylish man interviewed, off-roader starter guide and an electric cop car. M'colleague Alex Misoyannis of Drive.com.au has put the BYD Dolphin and MG4 head-to-head in the under $40k EV battle. Best $40K electric car in
Renault's new small electric car has really caught my eye and I've posted about it and the Alpine A290 hot hatch as well. I've posted about them a lot. What gives? I am a hatchback fan. I love them for their size – particularly the
A V12 diesel Audi that can seat five, cool cars for cool guys, cheating cheaters, an age-old question answered and a new electric Alpine. Drivetribe brings us the story of the diesel V12 Audi Q7, one of the more surprising cars to come out of Ingolstadt. James Pumphrey from Speeed
Today we have a pretty awesome Maserati revival, a Tesla stuck between a rock and a hard place, crushing disappointment for GR86 fans and Tesla running out of buyers for its worst model. The really rather excellent Keith Adams at CAR has news of a Maserati restomod that I was
Last time I gave you a lot of background on Musk's and Tesla's bad behaviour over the last decade. This week, a bit more of that but a lot more of why the Cybercab in particular is bad and why the We, Robot event was a
Another great interview from CAR, this time Alfa's CEO, CAR's Luke Wilkinson interviewed Alfa's upward-moving CEO at the Paris Motor Show. I quite like this chap because he seems to have both saved Alfa from the Marchionne madness (yeah, fight me) and has sensible
It has been well over a (busy) week since Tesla's We, Robot event was held on the Warner Bros movie lot in Los Angeles. The idea of the title apart from being totally on-brand lame in a way only Musk and his companies seem to manage, was to
Cars. Travel. Coffee.
Sorry for the quiet week on The Redline, I've been moving house and wouldn't you know it, there's not a lot of time for website-ing! This weekend we have some of the real good stuff. A car almost too wacky to be an Alfa,
Another new car brand launches in Australia, BYD's head of European Operations has some things to say, new Prelude and Celica coming, Alpine A390 going Stateside and a Renault 5 review. Chinese brand Deepal is coming to Australia through Subaru and Peugeot importer Inchcape. Predictably it's
Another week has flashed by and I've dug up some primo weekend content to watch during the ads on the Bathurst 1000 if you're too cheap to have Kayo or Foxtel (like me). Scotty's Corvette video looks pretty good, we've got an
Car companies are slurping your data (who knew?), me on the radio talking about that and making people mad, hot hatch rivals shake hands on track, a new VW camper is out, more utes going PHEV and a gorgeous new French electric hatchback Just over a year after the Mozilla
Joining us here at The Redline for the first time is the ineffably brilliant Scotty Newman. Also known as Addicted To Sliding on Instagram and YouTube, Scott is an incredibly fast driver and has driven some of the wildest cars on Earth. Many of you will know him from the
Consumer advice is kind of what we do here (kind of?) so we'll start with a story about the roads in Australia with the most speed cameras. I live within 3km of five of the things, so it's a story close to my heart. We'
It barely makes my top ten. There are so many other stupid rules in Formula 1 and they're fundamentals, not details. After the Singapore Grand Prix, British motorsport media went into the usual meltdown when one of their brave little boys had something taken away from him. Daniel
Another week in the bag, another bunch of videos to watch. This week we have a drifter-in-training, motorsport cheating, a V10 people mover and the story of Group B rallying. YouTuber Benny Surge seems keen on binning his car in the Nasho (in-joke for Facebook group purveyors of amusingly crashed
This is the coffee part of Cars - Coffee - Travel. First review of a cafe, so it's probably terrible but hey, it's a start. Also let me know if you want my coffee map of Hong Kong if ever you are going there. Tucked away
Last week I wrote about how private equity dimwits have caused a dramatic upheaval in large, well-known automotive YouTube channels. This week, it's the third part of the puzzle. In the first instalment, we got to the bit where Top Gear was handed over to Chris Evans for
It's been quite a week, hasn't it? For this weekend, you can sit back and watch the story of the Ford GN34, a clickbait EV trackday video, a question about whether Alpine was the way to go for Renault, a McMurtry fan car, some Antipodean rarities
Today we've got a chat with Ford's global boss, me being an attention whore, the first Australian reviews of the Polestar 3, news of Ferrari's first EV and talk of the Ford Bronco coming to Australia. CAR's Phil McNamara talks to Ford
