Mercedes-Benz E500 Cabriolet 2014: Review

Mercedes-Benz has no excuses for not being at the top of the four-seat convertible game. It’s been at it for more than 100 years and its 2014 E500 Cabriolet is now cleaner looking, faster, more economical and far, far safer.

Mercedes-Benz E-Class 2013 review
Reviews

Mercedes-Benz E-Class: Review

Call it facelift is you must, but the “new generation” Mercedes-Benz E-Class range has just lobbed into Oz with a bold new look, gutsier and more efficient engines, richer updated interiors, higher levels of standard equipment, better value and a raft of cutting-edge tech that brings (albeit very limited) autonomous driving to local terra firma. It’s a direct response, Merc-Benz says, to customer wants of more aggression, power and technology in their Es.

Ferrari has done away with the old California’s naturally aspirated V8 and replaced it with a twin-turbo version cranking out 412kW and 755Nm. So how does it drive?

The sensational Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG ‘Gullwing’ is so much more than a tribute to the brand’s glorious past. It’s a modern classic.

Reviews

First Fang: FPV GT-F

It’s here! With 351kW, the GT F is the fastest Falcon ever. Unfortunately, it’s also the last Falcon GT ever. So is it a fitting farewell? Or just a tarted-up GT-P?

The RS5 should be just like the glorious old RS4 only sexier and better. But is it?

Porsche Panamera GTS test drive
Reviews

First Fang: Porsche Panamera GTS

A collective groan must sweep through the engineering department whenever the product planners emerge from a meeting exclaiming “We need a sports limousine!” All the premium car makers are it, attempting to meld the seemingly contradictory qualities of a sports car (agile, lightweight, involving) and a luxury cruiser (big, comfortable, refined) with varying degrees of success.
