The VW Group's first proper EV in Australia wasn't – as expected – the ID.3 but the rather cooler Spanish off-shoot's Cupra Born. In a way, the Born is the ID.3, just not the one we were expecting. The Cupra brand was launching here
September 9 is World EV Day so I thought I'd write something that's been on my mind for while. Over the past few months, a narrative has developed in the media that electric car sales are slowing. As a regular on ABC Radio Sydney, talkback callers
Hopefully the weekend is a good time to sit back and catch up with what you've missed over the week. Here's a selection of some great videos, or at least videos I like. Dave Zalstein - 1977 Porsche 911 Dave spends time with Hugh Feggans and
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. 2025 Volvo EX90 review: International first
Words: Peter Anderson Co-pilots: Mark Dewar and Blake Currall Images: Blake Currall I've always loved the Cinquecento. Even when it's not very good – and there are a few versions that are borderline terrible – it's fun. The formula of tiny car/big personality is a

BMW’s fun-loving M2 scores more power, more stuff and some added rarity for its final bow as the M2 CS. Four and a half years ago I drove the BMW M2 for the first time. I was dead-set hooked. There is stuff we shot for that video that we
The big British bruiser has landed with a tightened front end and vastly improved rear, new tech inside and service plans. Still a twin-turbo V8, still big, still fast. The Bentley Bentayga, if I’m being honest with you (as I am always) is not my favourite fast SUV. Partly

Mazda’s evergreen, ever brilliant roadster scores some chassis tweaks for the old fogeys like me who once owned a 1989 NA Clubman. Oh, probably other people too. Mazda’s fourth-generation MX-5, the ND, is such a great car. It brings together all of the good things of every generation,
Putting together this classic British badge and mighty Chinese automotive company SAIC, the MG HS gives the sense that big things are coming. This is the story of a car that is not the best in class. Like its smaller stablemate, the ZS, there is plenty of room for improvement.
