Clever baby added to Corolla range
[Henrie Geyser] The core model range of Toyota's incredible success story in South Africa, its popular Corolla, has been rejuvenated and now also includes an impressive new high-tech 1.3-litre engine to replace the current entry level 1.4 model.

Swanky new Audi A6
[Henrie Geyser] The motoring industry is bleeding but there is no cease-fire in the bloody war for local market share between BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi - particularly now that Audi has brought out its latest big guns in the shape of the eagerly awaited new A6 range.

Suzuki's value for money Vitara
[Henrie Geyser] When times are tough new car buyers look more critically at factors such as price, build quality, warranty, an inclusive service plan and specifications which represents value for money - which is why the Suzuki brand has become such an overnight success.

Twinkle, twinkle little Twingo
[Henrie Geyser] Although targeted mainly at young and stylish urban lasses, the Renault Twingo is funky and cocky enough to appeal to the lads as well as the more mature commuter market.

Good, clean and fresh, tra-la-la
[Henrie Geyser] It might not have been quite what Dylan had in mind when he recorded his famous hit song ‘Times they are a-changing' way back in 1964 but it's certainly true about the way motoring is changing - with low emissions and fuel economy becoming more important to some vehicle owners than speed, engine power and dynamic handling.

Slinky new Volvo XC60
[Henrie Geyser] Nowadays cool cars are cross-overs - which means they have to look like a coupe on stilts and steroids, handle like a car on the tar and behave better than a bus on gravel roads and in sand or mud.

Well-priced family wagon
[Henrie Geyser] For many years Volkswagen ruled the road with its iconic Kombi which took families across Africa, served as living quarters and entertainment centres for generations of surfing jollers, shuttled generations of children to and from school and clocked millions of miles as supermarket trolleys, commuter buses and budget student travel.

Renault's affordable family car
[Henrie Geyser] It's bland, Spartan and looks like it was designed by an Eastern Bloc housing estate committee, but the new Renault Logan probably is the best value-for-money small saloon you can buy in South Africa right now.

Americanus Deluxisaurus
[Henrie Geyser] If the Cadillac STS walked the planet millions of years ago it would probably have been called Americanus Deluxisaurus and the other jungle beasts would have trembled in fear at the very sight of it.
