Ready to Rock Again : RTR Series II Ford Mustang GT Review
When Ford announced they would be putting the brakes on solely petrol-powered mainstream cars and offering only electric powertrains such as Hybrids, PHEVs and Mild Hybrids in 2022, naturally there was some harsh opposition from died in the wool petrol heads.

2021 Mercedes-Benz E350 Cabriolet review New Zealand – E-legant, e-motional, e-asy on the eye, e-fficient and now e-lectrified, the new E-Class has the ability to e-nliven all manner of senses, but when you add in a Coupe style and ‘drop the top’ cabriolet driving takes on a whole new level.
