Nissan Plans Production of IDx Concepts
The concepts were developed as part of a crowdsourced project at Nissan Design Studios in the UK. The Nissan Freeflow and Nismo IDx concepts were the star at the recent Tokyo Motor Show, and it looks like the automaker's positive reaction has given the carmaker a second look at production versions. Nissan bosses have said there is "already a plan" to turn the concepts into production cars, according to British website Autocar. Although the source of the comment was not cited, the automaker couldn't help but notice the recognition given to the two concepts - and especially the Nismo IDx, which pays homage to the legendary Datsun 1600 (although it says the similarities weren't intentional). The cars were developed as part of a crowdsourced project at Nissan's design studios in the UK, with around 100 young people working on the design in…
Holden and Ford Australia invented the car based on the car, so why can't we buy the Hyundai Santa Cruz, Ford Maverick, Honda Ridgeline and Fiat Strada, which are their spiritual successors?
Australians have long been receptive to cars and therefore welcome newcomers such as the Hyundai Santa Cruz and Ford Maverick. It should be taught in elementary schools as the foundation of Australian cultural history. In the early 1930s, a Victorian farmer wrote to Ford asking for a new type of pickup truck that could take his wife to church on Sundays and hogs to market on Mondays. It was a tight race between Ford and GM-H (who had a similar idea at the time), with the former simply putting the latter into production, followed by the "wagon coupe" - the world's first model to be adopted worldwide. while literally helping to build a nation at home. As a means…
Test drive Volkswagen Passat: standard
The updated model's two-litre petrol engine achieves nearly diesel consumption. The Volkswagen Passat is the world's most successful mid-range model, with more than 30 million vehicles sold. It is hardly worth mentioning that over the years this car has become the benchmark for its segment in a number of key parameters. A more modern look Last year, Volkswagen underwent a massive makeover of the Passat, as the facelifted car premiered in Bulgaria at the 2019 Sofia Motor Show in October. Exterior changes have been carefully considered - Volkswagen specialists further emphasized and improved the design of the Passat. The front and rear bumpers, grille and the Passat logo (now centered at the rear) have a new layout. In addition, new LED headlights, LED…
Are you ready for the $40K Picanto? New cars are about to get a lot more expensive as Kia says EVs mean the end of cars under $20k.
Kia says the rise in electrification will mean the end of cars under $20. Kia says the rise of electric vehicles in Australia effectively means the end of cars under $20K, noting that brand-wide electrification could see the cheapest models like the Picanto and Cerato cost roughly $40K. The Picanto is currently Australia's highest budget Kia model, with more than 6500 of them finding their homes last year. It costs about 17 thousand dollars with a tiny gasoline engine. But an electric car the size of a Picanto? That, according to Kia, will be a very different story. “I don’t think you will see an electric car the size of a Picanto in…
Holden's export loss eats into earnings
GM's decision to end Pontiac production in North America hit Holden hard. A small after-tax profit of $12.8 million last year was offset by a net loss of $210.6 million due to the curtailment of the Holden-built Pontiac export program. These losses also included a number of special non-recurring expenses totaling $223.4 million, primarily due to the cancellation of the export program. The special fees are mainly related to the closure of the Family II engine plant in Melbourne. Last year's loss significantly exceeded the $70.2 million loss recorded in 2008. GM-Holden CFO Mark Bernhard said the result is disappointing but a by-product of one of the most serious...
5 reasons to buy or not to buy an Alfa Romeo 156
The best car in the world, which cannot be compared with any other - neither in beauty, nor in behavior on the road. The most fragile car that completely empties the pockets of its owner. These two extremes of definitions refer to the same model - the Alfa Romeo 156, which was presented at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1997. The business class car (D segment) replaced the successful and popular (especially in Italy) model 155. Alfa Romeo 156 The success of the new car was determined by a number of technical innovations, the main of which were modern engines of the Alfa Romeo Twin Spark family with two liners per cylinder . This technology, together with variable valve timing, guaranteed decent power per liter of working ...
hardcore hammer
German tuner GeigerCars has installed huge rubber tracks on the Hummer H2 and is positioning it as the perfect off-road vehicle for emergency services. To prove it, the bomber, as it is called, drove several laps of Germany's famous Nurburgring Nordschleife in the middle of winter when the track was covered in snow and impassable. The car was driven by Wolfgang Blaube, editor of the German automotive magazine Autobild, who described the experience as "a new dimension of fun". As standard, the Hummer H2 is already a proven off-road workhorse. On its massive rubber tracks, it turns into the type of SUV that Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson would drool over. Instead of standard 20-inch wheels, specialists from Munich equipped their SUV project with Mattracks 88M1-A1 rubber tracks on ...
Churchill's car up for auction
After Churchill, Daimler traveled to the USA, Germany, Great Britain and for some time even belonged to an Iranian prince.

The classic Morgan could be back
Morgan Cars Australia is looking forward to bringing the classic back to Australia. The car, whose design dates back to the 1930s, was withdrawn from sale in 2006 due to airbag supply issues and subsequent homologation issues. However, it is set for a new round of crash testing in the UK later this month. If it passes, it will be back on sale within a few months because the test is equivalent to local Australian design rule 69 for a full frontal crash test. “I have orders in the system,” says Chris van Wyck, managing director of Morgan Cars Australia.

The Porsche Cayenne has been recalled for the second time in a week. Porsche Australia is recalling the large Cayenne SUV for the second time in a week, again at risk of a leak.

My Lancia Fulvia 1600cc V4 HF
Tony Kovacevic purchased his own Lancia Fulvia 1.6 HF Coupe in 1996, which he has since restored (shown above). You can always flaunt something obvious like a Rolex, but if you want the respect of the few who really know, you'll have a nice, quiet and stylish IWC. The Lancia Fulvia was famous but not very popular in its time; a step forward from Fiat, a step away from Alfa Romeo. It was the model that perpetuated Lancia's history of innovation and racing success. The Turin brand introduced such novelties as a monocoque body, an independent front suspension, a five-speed manual transmission, serial V6 and V4 engines. It was preserved with a right-hand drive (then it was a sign of a prestigious ...
SsangYong Tivoli comes to Europe with Indian engines
The arsenal will include gasoline turbo engines developed by Mahindra The SsangYong Tivoli crossover will appear on the European market in June in an updated form.
