The new ZB Commodore represents a lot of firsts. It’s the first imported Commodore, the first front-wheel-drive Commodore and the first to offer all-wheel-drive as well. And, controversially, the first Commodore that doesn’t pander to the Holden faithful.

Subaru sprinkles some STi goodness on the BRZ… our tS isn’t quite the same as the Japan-only BRZ STi Sport but it’s close in all the right areas.

The brief for Superformance was to build a tough Streeter that turns heads and goes as good as it looks.

In 1984 Ford South Africa created its very own performance Sierra exclusively for its own market. Only 250 of these Mustang V8-powered rarities were made, and this is one of possibly just two to have made it to Australia.

More than six decades separate this car’s first and most recent appearance at one of the world’s most prestigious concours events.

East Coast Australia’s most prestigious all-makes car show saw a vast array of classics shimmer in the Noosa sunshine.

Perception, as defined in the Cambridge English dictionary, is a belief or opinion, often held by many people and based on how things seem. It can also mean being aware of something through the physical senses (sight, sound, touch, etc.). Misconception is defined as an idea that is wrong, based on a failure to understand or faulty thinking. The latter usually follows the former, and in the case of the car featured, these two nouns have come together quite often.

A largely forgotten footnote in Jeep history, the 1948 Jeepster was Willys’ attempt to broaden the peacetime appeal of their wartime winner.

The FX Holden is undeniably Aussie royalty. But for a twist of fate, the first Holden could have had a genuine royal connection, too.

Only one 1967 Shelby GT500 Super Snake was ever made, and it is now the world’s most expensive Mustang. But continuation specials mean a lucky few dozen can experience the bite.

A genuine piece of Australian custom car history, this FJ has been brought back to life by a dedicated enthusiast.

This FE Holden may be 60 years old, but it looks as fresh as the day it was new – thanks to careful preservation and a little bit of ‘makeup’ from a forgotten aftermarket parts supplier.

Kia strikes into the territory of some expensive sporty German saloons. It's different, but more than that it's good, and desirable too. But too many people will say "it's still a Kia".

The BMW Z8 paid homage to the legendary BMW 507 and, styled by Henrik Fisker became one of the most beautiful cars ever.

Porsche purists might have scoffed at the idea of an ‘automatic’ 911, but there’s no arguing it helped sell cars. We go for a spin in a near-original 1976 911 Sportomatic.

The new Alfa Romeo Giulia QV lives up to its promise on the race track, but is just being fast and fun enough?

MEET THE MAZDA MX-5 RF, or Retractable Fastback… this is the MX-5 variant, says Mazda, that will open-up (apologies) the model to a new audience. An audience, it believes, that will make up around 60% of MX-5 buyers going forward.

Forget the doom and gloom about the Aussie car industry. We are in the Second Great Aussie Muscle Car era, a time when factory big-inch V8 sports sedans are the best they've ever been, from turbo six-pot Falcons and 6L SS-V Commodores, all the way to the top dog, HSV's 580hp supercharged GTS.

Heading into its eighth season, the Touring Car Masters is undoubtedly one of the strongest racing series' in the country.

While much of the pre-release buzz around the new VF Commodore centred on its exterior changes over the VE, the release of the first images today show that the interior has been given a thorough working over, too.

The release of a new Holden VF Commodore today enabled enthusiasts to see for the first time the complete exterior theme is notable for its rounded design that is described as more "challenging" than the VE Commodore it replaces.
