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

Review: Audi RS6
I am a Luddite. I have clutched with feverish intensity to the good ole days of atmospheric engines that used cubes to create performance rather than embrace the emerging era dominated by snails and superchargers. That could change with the RS6.

Review: Kia Cerato
Kia’s naked ambition is there for the world – including Australia – to see.

Suzuki Kizashi AWD
All-wheel drive signals tilt at Subaru

Review: 2013 Honda Civic DTi-S Diesel Hatch
Journalists, by nature, are cynics. So when Honda Australia declared its first ever diesel, fitted exclusively to the Civic hatch, is as refined and as quiet as its petrol offerings, I sniggered into my morning coffee.

Review: Audi S8
The people have spoken. Audi Australia has bowed to demand and given the S8 a ticket to Australia in the first quarter of 2014.
