2009 Nissan GT-R review
Godzilla returns to Australia, and it’s fully sick.

FIRST DRIVE: Nissan Altima
Replacing the long-standing Maxima, Nissan Altima’s value equation climbs as you descend the range.

First drive: Nissan X-Trail
Aussie SUV favourite finds refinement and offers seven-seat option

3 Kings – Chevrolet Camaro vs Holden Coupe 60 vs Holden Monaro
We muster Holden’s oz-developed muscle-car royalty to find the coupe worthy of the pony-car crown.

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

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.

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.

Wheels Review: Nissan Patrol
The new Patrol roughly approximates the dimensions of a tank. And that’s fitting because it’s already been attacked – actually, carpet-bombed – on at least three fronts long before it’s even due in Aussie showrooms in January, next year.

Wheels Magazine: Volkswagen Up
As a name, ‘Up’ is ripe for ribbing. Even Volkswagen played the joker at the launch with a “This way Up” roof sticker on one example. I didn’t check to see if there was a companion sticker underneath that said “Wrong way Up”. But the VW Up is no joke.

Strip show – 370Z v HSV R8
Game Zed brings V6 knife to heavyweight V8 gunfight.

Nissan 370Z v HSV R8, Evo X, Cayman S
Not content to have stung Porsche with its upstart GT-R, Nissan widens the front with a Zed-led assault.

Slide tracked – 370Z v Evo X
Zed plays the power card against Evo’s traction.

LAUNCHED: Nissan GT-R Spec-V
Ultimate Godzilla loses weight, adds bucks.

LAUNCHED: Nissan Murano
Silky soft-roader has its priorities right.

Audi TTS v BMW 135i v Mazda RX-8 GT v Nissan 350Z
Japan takes on Germany in this shootout of compact coupes. Their differences are many, but their goal is the same: max attack for under $100K.
