Tokyo Motor Show

Range Rover Sport
New engines crank up the volume, designers tone down the butch

Mercedes E500 Coupe
CLK successor makes a class distinction

Audi R8 Spyder
Top chopped, engine note cranked to V10

Subaru WRX STi Spec C
Lighter, tighter, righter – for Japan, at least

Maserati GranCabrio
Brilliance not essential when you look this good

Alfa Romeo Giulietta
147 replacement arrives late but likeable

Kia Sportage
May be misnamed, but won’t be misplaced in suburbia

Downsized donk still knows thunder road

Lexus RX450h
Let’s take this one day at a time and see how it goes

Abarth Punto Evo
Scorpion badge brings sting to Fiat’s hatch

Audi A7 Sportback
Think of it as the next-gen A6 with slinkier looks and a slickback

Suzuki Kizashi AWD
All-wheel drive signals tilt at Subaru

Citroen DS3
Wannabe Goddess good but no deity

Driven: Audi A8 4.2 TDI
EIGHT-hundred Newton-Metres. It takes a lot longer to say it than to feel its full-bore rush when you stomp on the turbo-diesel version of Audi’s A8 limo

2011 BMW X1 28i Review
New turbo four delivers a hit like a six

Nissan GT-R MY11
Now the monster is even angrier. Everyone’s happy, then

2011 Audi A7 Review
Audi joins four-door coupe party. Mind your head

Review: Hyundai Genesis
We’ve all felt it. That ball-clenching, stomach-churning moment of turning into a corner too fast, of feeling the tyres slip, the horror of knowing you’re about to crash.

Review: Audi Q5
LIKE A weary Goldilocks in search of a bed, a parent’s pursuit of the perfect family car is a quest for that ‘just right’ moment, when you open the door, like what you see, picture the billy lids safe and happy in the back seat and realise that this is the one.

Review: Infiniti G37
Who do you think you are, Infiniti? That’s a reasonable enough question, seeing as the ‘new’ G37 (born 2007, actually) might be deemed an upstart against its pedigree (if equally aged) BMW 3 Series, Audi A5 and Mercedes C-Class opponents.

Driven: Mini Paceman
We’ve all felt it. That ball-clenching, stomach-churning moment of turning into a corner too fast, of feeling the tyres slip, the horror of knowing you’re about to crash.

Review: Holden Cruze Sportswagon
DOES anyone else out there think wagons are pretty sexy looking?

Review: Audi A7
Audi’s MY13 A7 delivers most of the things an MY12 owner might wish for, plus some bonuses, but the steering’s still a bit weird.

Review: Nissan Pulsar
OCCASIONALLY the backstory is more intriguing than the subject itself. Welcome, then, to the fall and rise of the Pulsar, dormant after seven long years of the spectacularly unsuccessful C11-series Tiida.
