LAUNCHED: Lexus IS 250 Convertible
Heavy metal strikes a serene chord.
2010 BMW X1 Review
The niche-filling continues as Munich milks the X factor
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
Volvo S60 Polestar Limited Edition
Here, at last, is a truly fast Volvo that isn’t rubbish.
Review: Mercedes-Benz E400
Will anyone lament the loss of the V8 from the engine menu in Mercedes-Benz’s standard E-Class line-up for Australia when a tasty V6 has been added? Probably not.
First drive: Porsche 911 Turbo S
An outward display of raw fear is not an attractive quality in a man, so it’s a good thing I wear a strong poker-face.
First drive: W205 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
BMW and Audi need to up their game enormously if the 3 Series and A4 are going to out-class the new C-Class
2009 Audi Q5 3.2 FSI Review
Ingolstadt’s mid-size SUV takes aim at X3.
Heir Triggers – Audi S4 vs BMW 335i
Can’t stretch to an M3 or RS4? Open both barrels on either Audi’s new supercharged S4 or BMW’s twin-turbo 335i and you’re unlikely to feel under-gunned.

Can Volkswagen do no wrong?
Review: Holden Malibu
Holden keeps its foot firmly on the gas with the launch of its all-new Malibu mid-size sedan, which arrives hard on the heels of the VF Commodore.
First drive: Isuzu MU-X
Isuzu clearly knows when it’s onto a good thing. Riding on the D-Max’s wave of success – which is up 30 percent year on year – the Japanese brand will launch its first SUV, the MU-X, in Australia next month. And we’ve been driving it.

First drive: Porsche 918 Spyder

First drive: Chevrolet SS
James Stanford drives the Chevrolet SS in Palm Springs.
Review: Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG
You won’t find ‘Race Start’ on the new Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG. The launch-control technology that helps make the smaller E63 AMG the fastest accelerating sedan in Wheels’ history is ignored in the still supercar-fast S63.
Review: Volvo V40 XC
When the words ‘cross country’ appear on a vehicle, there’s an immediate issue in managing expectations. Volvo’s new V40 derivative suffers from just such a challenge.
Review: Kia Cerato hatch
Stone motherless last. Not a position you really want to find yourself, unless, say, you’re a guest of the Americans in Guantanamo Bay and there’s a lengthy cue for a go on the water board.
2013 Holden Trax Review
The world has gone small-SUV mad. In markets all over the globe, the satchel-sized Sport Utility Vehicle has become the hottest thing since sleeve tattoos and manufacturers can’t keep up with demand.
