It's vapourware season again!

One of these is a timeless design. The other one looks like a dumpster.

Sleek, chic and dangerous… the pioneering car banned by the Nazis

While the rest of the world was building boxy and upright wind-catching cars, one small Czech manufacturer threw out the design rulebook.

How about a visit to an amazing automotive museum? This one is in Los Angeles, it's called the Petersen and if you're in LA, do put aside a day to go visit this place. Gorgeous building, incredible collection. Buy a pass to enter the Vault, no cameras allowed but you get to see more of their collection, tucked in the basement. All sorts of vehicles!

Toyota Winterfest is on in Altona tomorrow, excellent and enormous car show

They're a lovely club and welcoming to all marques so I imagine there will be more than Toyotas there

Volkswagen are working on a way to avoid collisions with wild life, I hope this works. Kangaroos are notorious for leaping straight at cars.

Just 2565mm long and weighing a scant 290kg, the Cony Guppy is arguably the world's smallest ever pick-up truck. And probably the slowest too.
