LEXUS is known for reliable, but slightly boring, motor cars. Some of the styling has been suspect, even slightly dreary. The last few years has seen LEXUS spawn several handsome carriages, shrugging off the veil or normality. They’re shamelessly going after the big Germans, and they’re using clever design, and ruthless quality control to do it.. In the video [...]
Mustang is Ford’s new Muscle car imported from the good ol’ USA. It is ferociously fast and drinks like a drag queen.

It was intended to demonstrate that an Australian designed and built car could compete against the super cars of Europe in their own terms, and win. Instead we have learnt that our erstwhile opposition treasurer now thinks that he is in government, cutting [...]
YES YES YES: thumping performance, stunning looks, many clever gadgets, sensational ride Oh Dear Me No: some parts of the interior have suspect quality, manual shifter paddles poorly placed, corner of simulated carbon fibre trim on centre console lifted. For the price, find me something more in your face, more powerful, and you will win the cigar. The [...]
