This was confirmed as we put it to the test from Jozi to Durban- to cover the infamous but troublesome race horse. Legend has it what happens in Rome remains in China. Amen! Talk of a legend, the Mazda 3 has been around for a long time, and recently Mazda released the fourth-generation model. Value […]
The Isuzu Arctic AT35 bakkie is now available through Isuzu dealers on an exclusive order only basis with a projected 50 units to be built annually in Port Elizabeth. “Arctic Trucks are engineered for people who need to do tough jobs in tough environments, combining this attribute with Isuzu heritage of engineering tough, reliable bakkies […]
Recently we had a pleasure to fiddle back and forth in the four-cylinder Mercedes X Class bakkie, whose price tag is a bone of contention, especially amongst Amarok and baby sister Nissan Navara, enthusiasts. For the uninitiated Navara provided a based platform for the X-trail which allowed it to enter the bakkie fray quickly and […]
It boasts convenience, comfort and can go-anywhere from eSwatini to Sin City (oops my bad Sun City) with aplomb. The MU-X is one of the new generation of SUVs, and picks up where the discontinued Chevrolet Trailblazer left off. Based on the extremely competent Isuzu KB (now D-Max); it provides compelling argument for those in […]
Built on the group’s global X100 platform, the XUV300 (pronounced XUV three double O) carries its larger sibling’s cheetah-inspired design language into a new generation of vehicles.

My late friend (May His Soul rest in -Peace Tshepo Sekese) owned one and the day never passed without him taking a diss at us “that’s the […]
Hollywood actor-turned-President, Ronald Reagan once intimated back in the 80’s! From the Harlem Globetrotters travelling basketball showpiece to the Nitro Circus fronted by X-Games daredevil, Travis Pastrana, the citizens swearing allegiance to the Star-spangled banner (why, even the stars-and-stripes flag have a razzmatazzy appearance) sure long figured out the exportation of entertainment as an economic […]
This goes on to show the Chinese-based international automotive giant, Great Wall Motors Company Limited, has been hard at work to up its reputation, internationally. GWM Steed is popular with budget-conscious buyers. True. “It doesn’t have the bells and whistles of many of the other bakkie competitors (the Navara, Amarok and Ranger, for instance). However […]
Perhaps fascinated by its brash design, who can argue that? Yes, there were concerns from doom-sayers that the brand might NOT make it in the mzansi market, following the withdrawal of parent company GM but as things would turn-out, investors took a huge risk (after all any business is about taking risks) and it turns […]
