Interesting vehicle this new Mazda CX-8 because it’s a “bitsa” comprising elements from both the larger CX-9 and the smaller CX-5 to arrive at a car that is arguably the “right size” family 7-seater. Sharing […]
Now into generation 5, the big Lexus LS500 has morphed into something different from previous generations, moving away from V8 power to V6 in the LS500 and now with a petrol/electric hybrid model LS500h for […]
Hyundai’s iLoad is a favourite with tradies threatening even Toyota’s supremacy in the van segment. After driving the newly upgraded iLoad, I get where they’re coming front because it doesn’t leave many boxes unticked for […]
Peugeot has fought back from the brink a few years ago with outside funding, some factory closures, a big move into the Chinese market, model rationalisation and a raft of new cars all with shared […]
