NEW PORSCHE 911 CABRIOLET: FIRST DETAILS

The cabriolet version of the iconic Porsche 911 will soon join the recently announced Coupe version. The soft top has a glass rear window and can be opened or closed at speeds up to 50 km/h in just 12 seconds. Fascinatingly, the front end revives a traditional feature from earlier 911 generations: a forward-extended bonnet with a distinctive recess in front of the windscreen. New 911 Cabriolet has 20-inch wheels at the front and 21-inch wheels at the rear. The rear-wheel-drive models now match the bodywork width of the existing… Read more

MINI MILLBROOK EDITION

MINI Australia has announced a MINI Millbrook Edition based on the John Cooper Works three-door hatch. Only 20 are coming to Australia and are priced $57,275 plus on-road costs. What MINI calls, “A vintage motorsport-inspired exterior finish” paint called Ice Blue is exclusive to the Millbrook Edition. Black 17-inch alloys work beautifully with the Ice Blue paint. The black theme continues on the roof and mirror caps. Black Line exterior trims and JCW bonnet stripes continue the theme. Additional driving lights and covers are a nod to the original Mini’s… Read more

PORSCHE 718 CAYMAN GT4 CLUBSPORT

Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport is aimed at the serious driver and the latest two versions take them a further step forward.

2019 KIA RIO GT-LINE

Kia’s fourth-generation Rio first arrived here in January 2017 and received a major upgrade in November 2018. The subject of this week’s road test is the sporting Rio GT-Line. It sits in an interesting position in that it’s not a hot-hatch but rather provides added driving appeal and a bit more power than the standard models. It’s a warm-hatch rather than a hot-hatch, which leaves room for a hotter model at some time in the future. Kia Australia won’t comment on this, but stay tuned and we will bring you… Read more

HOLDEN HG

In July 1970 Holden released the model HG, a slightly restyled version of the HT. The HG range comprised 13 models including sedans, wagons, panel vans and utilities. It was the first Holden model launch to include the commercial vehicle range and showed that GMH, having previously concentrated on increasing production output, had now expanded their design and development group to the point where they could cope with a much increased workload. With previous model releases it was several months later that the new commercial range saw the light of… Read more

ISUZU SUV MAKES BIG IMPRESSION

Dealing, these days, mainly with SUVs that would run a mile rather than tackle tough terrain, it was good to get behind the wheel of a genuine off-road wagon in the shape of the Isuzu MU-X. While celebrating a decade of business in Australia, as well as noting feedback from local customers, Isuzu Ute Australia (IUA) has upgraded its D-Max utility and MU-X seven-seat sports utility vehicle to maintain growth in two of the most competitive market segments – one-tonne ute and large SUV. The D-Max ute has come in… Read more

NISSAN JUKE STAYS TRUE TO BREEDING

The Nissan Juke, with its jagged body lines, numerous cut-outs and contrasting highlights, presents the perfect example of what could be seen as automotive architectural anarchy. Even so, with the resulting sharp appearance, there’s no reason the compact sports utility vehicle should not join its more traditional rivals and enjoy a mid-cycle makeover. Already with an enthusiastic fan base, the Juke in ST and Ti-S six-speed manual and Ti-S CVT automatic variants, Nissan is aiming to grab a thicker slice of the market with modified exterior styling, plus three MyJuke… Read more

FORD FAIRLANE AND LTD 1997 – 2007

2007 Ford LTD

Ford Fairlane and LTD are stretched long-wheelbase versions of the Ford Falcon sedan. Not that the Falcon is a small car, but some buyers wanted limo-like room in the back, or simply the smoothness and near silence of a luxury car. These big Fords make excellent family cars, particularly if hulking teenagers are being carted around. However, they are better suited to four occupants than five as the centre-rear seat’s foot-space is compromised by the transmission tunnel. As all the extra wheelbase has gone into the rear passenger area, the… Read more

SAFER CRASHING

I don’t hear this statement as often as I used to, “They don’t make them like they used to.” The comment comes after a crash involving a new car and an old one. A rear-ender that’s resulted in a huge amount of damage to the front of a new car, yet has created only big dents in the back of the old one. The crash has usually been a small one, probably at a speed of under 15 km/h. A typical suburban bingle, usually caused by a driver’s inattention and/or… Read more
