Links We Like - September 4 2024
This week has been pretty busy with new launches and we're kicking off a bit of a newsletter experiment to see if you're keen.
Volvo EX90 Launches
A big one is the Volvo EX90, the all-electric successor to the XC90.
The EX90 is based on the same platform as the Polestar 3 and when I saw it in Gothenburg during January 2022 I was blown away by how cool this car will be.

V12 Aston Martin Vanquish is back
Aston Martin has unleashed a new, naturally-aspirated V12-powered Vanquish. Aston says it's an all-new car and not just a hopped-up DB-series machine.
Gonna be a while before it reaches Australia but it looks incredible.
Where will I be?
Redline Editor Peter Anderson will be on ABC 702 Sydney with James Valentine at 1pm AEST. Tune in, stream, ask yourself a census question to upset somebody.
