First drive: GWM Cannon Alpha PHEV (on Australian roads)

In this video I answer the following viewer question on heavy towing:I'm trying to see through all the negativities that us Australians seem to pile on any product that comes out of China. I have to admit I'm finding myself joining the masses of flinging shit at everyone and everything these days. But I like the GWM Canon Alpha PHEV!!! And I'm not embarrassed to say I want one and I don't care what my mates say. My wife is crook, seriously. So we bought a brand new caravan, we can no

After decades of life-support, South Korean shot-callers will strap Ssangyong ‘Straya into old sparky, on the morrow, whence it will be lit up, and then resurrected, kinda like Jesus, and henceforth be known as KGM AustraliaKGM Australia's first major achievement, tomorrow, will be to launch a glorious new slogan - where would we be without those? “Korean built to last.” With no punctuation, but hey.“Korean built to last.” Guaranteed to resonate so powerfully with all 12 or 13 Australians who

Hyundai's new ute will be a Silverado or Tasman clone

AutoExpert ·

2025/09/16

Hyundai Australia says it's getting a ute - finally. The Hyundai ute options are: One: Hyundai’s Mighty Boy - the Tucson-based Santa Cruz, which is too small and would be outrageously overpriced here.Two: They could attempt to re-badge the Tasman. (This is gunna be their preferred option, surely, because it’s the only available ute in the same segment as Hilux, Ranger, et. al.)Just a few minor hurdles there: They’ll have to take the ‘smashed crab’ aesthetic out of the pointy end, and give Eugene

My mate Adam Morris from ReDriven - https://www.youtube.com/@ReDriven - is a self-confessed kei truck fan-boy. He gushes. (It's that dignified...) So, he recently got jammed into the 400kW RAM 1500 Limited for some reorientation therapy. I'm not sure it was entirely consensual, but hey...ReDriven's excellent kei truck review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFOUOFIda5QAnd the earlier S-Class takedown/reality check: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrU9fD7-m7Q Adam's co-conspirator,

My mate Brett from Driving Enthusiast - https://www.youtube.com/@drivingenthusiastaustralia - dropped by the Fat Cave today, and since we both recently tested the same RAM 1500 Laramie Sport, we went for a spin and rolled a GoPro while we talked about it. This car is one of the most under-rated utes in the market - it tows heavy, it accelerates fast, and it's abundantly luxurious, as well as packed with clever features. Predictably, lefty/greenie types hate it.Make sure you check out Brett's

My mate Brett from Driving Enthusiast - https://www.youtube.com/@drivingenthusiastaustralia - dropped by the Fat Cave with a Ranger Sport Loaner, so we went for a spin and rolled a GoPro while we talked about it. It's pretty impressive from a platform, dynamics, ergonomics and powertrain perspective. But it is quite expensive, and my reservations about Ford's product support and long-term reliability linger.Make sure you check out Brett's channel and give him a sub - he's doing good work over

Kia Tasman is way too expensive, and far too ugly

Pricing revealed and pre-orders open for one of my most anticipated new vehicles - Australia’s new ugliest ute - the Kia Tasman. Move over Ssangong Musso; there’s a new monument to dual-cab ugliness in town...Hilarious developments back at headquarters: The penny has dropped, finally, that it looks hideous. They're doing what they can. They’re defending the design, but at the same time also striving to make it seem less crap, at minimal cost - overseas and here.And the price: It’s out of

The Ford Ranger Super Duty is currently a fairy tale. Ford’s PR team - doing what it does best: Selectively representing the truth about the Ranger Super Duty to the most domesticated car reviewers on the planet.The ones too timid, or otherwise incentivised not to ask any hard questions. Perhaps they just don’t know what to ask. In any case, the official Ford-sanctioned reports so far are just a suck.Ranger Super Duty is going to be OK - too expensive, but OK.

Subaru used to be a great company in Australia, but unfortunately they've been sowing the seeds of their own downfall for well over a decade now ... and the harvest is imminent.Increasing Toyota ownership of the company means more Toyota beancounters running the show, sucking the passion from the brand and removing - essentially - all the exciting variants from the range, especially in Australia.Here I use one owner's interaction with them to illustrate this point, and lay out the broader
