However, with the e-tron GT, Audi has proven that a well-designed and well-thought-out sedan still has lots of merit. It’s been a few years since Audi’s version of the Porsche Taycan was released in Europe, but it wasn’t until 2023 that it landed in Australia and a few weeks ago that we first got our hands on it.

A 20-year-old Dodge Charger driver led Arkansas State Police on a lengthy GTA-style chase. He managed to escape four times before officers caught him. In the process, the police rear-ended one innocent motorist at over 70 mph. Some artists don’t know when to put down the paintbrush and some suspects don’t know when to stop running. Ideally, they wouldn’t run at all but in this story, the driver managed to get away four different times before finally getting caught.

Toyota has just announced that it has sold 500,000 RAV4s in Australia across the model’s 30-year lifetime. Few brands achieve this type of feat, let alone in only 30 years and in a heavily saturated, yet very small, buyer’s market such as Australia.
