  • HOLDEN STATEMENT: Kyle Sandilands gets the old heave ho

    Shock jock Kyle Sandialnds is in strife again.

  • Cruze Series II: Not bad but still feels a bit bargain basement rather than value for money.

      Cruze Series II Quickie review Outside: Not much different from previous offering. Different badges on the new upper Sri and SRiV and the 1.4l gets the trendy green badge.
