Nissan Australia just flew Australia's allegedly elite automotive journalists (press release recyclers) all the way up to Sweden (probably in business-class, eating fine food and drinking nice wine), with all of the major press kit talking points for the soon-to-launch Qashqai e-Power hybrid. Living the rockstar life. What a pity they generally failed to list the vehicle's fairly freaking obvious shortcomings and forgot to ask any hard questions.

Hyundai just quietly jacked up the costs a whole bunch of patiently waiting customers will have to pay for one of their brand new cars.

David McBride and Michael West talk with me about the level of bullshit in Australia right now: legal immunity of government, the silencing of war crimes, the biggest transfer of wealth from poor to rich, the degradation of trust in institutions, the lies being told by politicians and the eroding credibility of the media in its implicit role failing to hold power to account. On the eve of the federal election, this matters. Subscribe to The West Report on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/TheWe...

The worst aspects of owning an electric vehicle is not being an insufferable EV enthusiast, waiting for the thing to charge after handling the tangled cables, the immeasurable emissions wrapped up in the manufacturing of a two-tonne battery-powered machine - nor is it the stupid run-flats or tyre goop that replace a proper spare tyre. It's not even the fact carmakers insist on hiding every fricken function behind a big, distracting LCD touchscreen. The worst part of actually owning an EV is far ...

New car sales in Australia are pretty grim. Or is it? Seemingly, it is, according to official Australian car industry rhetoric, at least looking at the results for April in isolation. Essentially, the car industry still paying the price for kneeing computer chip manufacturers so firmly in the nuts on price, then failing to see the pandemic trainwreck approaching, a couple of years ago.
