Have you ever spilled cutting fluid in an open container, all over the workshop floor? Make this spill-proof container today, and it'll never happen again.

KGM - the South Korean carmaker formerly known as Ssangyong - will launch a new battery-electric Musso in Australia. Here are the details.

After more than eight weeks of doing nothing, the 'death trap' MG gets officially recalled - with more than 10,000 people at risk, owing to a glaring design deficiency.

Mitsubishi's implementation of so-called 'driver assistance' technology is among the worst - in the latest models - and there is STIFF competition.

I'm talking about ADAS - 'Advanced Driver Assistance Systems'. Although the first 'A' should more rightly be changed to 'annoying'.

This is what happens when ANCAP pretends it's the dog, and carmakers act like the tail - driving is just about ruined as a satisfying experience.

I recently had the chance to catch up with the top engineer at Nulon (which used to be wholly Australian but is now owned by German chemical giant, Fuchs). What I learned at their headquarters in south-western Sydney basically inverted everything I thought I knew about additives - I even started using two particular kinds, with a view to heading off two particular modern engine problems.

Polestar erected a glorified plywood box inside the Volvo dealership in Penrith the other day. (Next to a floodway and snake swamp.) Apparently it's all part of saving the planet, of course. And - obviously - s-o-o-o-o incredibly newsworthy.

Vested interest is a conflict of interest, right? When a publisher is in bed with a carmaker, their review does (at best) quite a poor job serving the interests of you, the potential car buyer, in the audience. Thus, trust evaporates (but the publisher cops a big, fat earn).

Kia Tasman drives really well, has great powertrain integration, a classy interior, a great rear seat, a big tray, and heaps of cabin space.

Unfortunately, that's insufficient to overcome its rampant ugliness, its mediocre engine and its sky-high pricetag, so people aren't buying it.

Good news, if you want a big discount.

Hyundai cannot (seemingly) successfully sell, in particular the IONIQ 6 - so they've slashed the price. This is good for you if you're in the market for one, but of course it's bad for you if you already paid the full price for one.

Kia Tasman is - let's be kind - one of the most distinctive utes launched in 2025. Its aesthetics are contentious, the price is high, and the engine is ... mediocre.

But in this video I take a look at how it's actually screwed, bolted and welded together. Did they do a decent job sticking the Tasman together?
