The 2022 VW Polo GTI is an excellent all-rounder for those looking for a Sporty Hatchback. The latest Polo GTI was first unveiled in Europe in mid-2021 but only recently landed in Australia. ImageImageImageImage
It’s not significantly different than the model it replaces and as such, continues to be powered by the same EA888 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Image
This engine is good for 197bhp and 320Nm of torque and is coupled to a six-speed dual-clutch transmission driving the front wheels. Interestingly, the Polo GTI has 204bhp in overseas markets while also rocking a seven-speed dual-clutch ‘box. ImageImage

The Toyota Hilux remains Australia's favourite pickup (and vehicle, for that matter) sweeping aside newer rivals like the Ford Ranger and Isuzu D-Max in the dual-cab sales race. — Cars Guide Image
The 2022 sales results were genuinely wild for Toyota, which - in a year marked by stock shortages and delivery delays - managed to increase Hilux sales by almost 22% 64,391, making it not just Australia's favourite pickup, but also the country's favourite vehicle overall.
The Ford Ranger finished second, with 47,479 sales - making it the country's second most popular vehicle - while the Mitsubishi Triton finished third, with 27,436 sales (fourth most popular vehicle overall). Next came the Isuzu D-Max, with 24,336 total sales.

Twitter was purchased by Tesla CEO Elon Musk for $US44 billion ($AU70 billion) in October 2022, slashing the company's workforce by half within a matter of weeks – including many from the company's Australian office, as first reported by The Age and Sydney Morning Herald.
"Following the news of large-scale job losses from technology firms, Jaguar Land Rover is opening a new jobs portal for displaced workers from the tech industry to explore career opportunities, offering hybrid working patterns," the company said in a statement.

Toyota executives have conceded wait times for the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid – Australia's most popular SUV and top-selling petrol-electric car – are now so long customers at the back of the queue could be rewarded by being among the first to take delivery of the next all-new model. ImageImageImageImage
Wait times for the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid remain between 18 months and two years for the most popular variants, though some customers have reported taking delivery six to 12 months from placing an order after buyers in the waiting list ahead of them pulled out of the deal.
Toyota Australia says it is still working overtime to meet the unprecedented demand for the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. Despite boosting production, Toyota is still struggling to keep up with demand for one of Australia's most fuel-efficient family SUVs.

BYD’s newest brand called YangWang launched its first model in China, a fully electric ladder-frame luxury off-roader. The new Yangwang U8 combines rugged looks with a quad motor layout and sophisticated technology assisting with its off-road capabilities. — @Carscoop ImageImageImageImage
The silhouette of the new U8 looks to be heavily inspired by the Land Rover Defender, although the styling is unique to the YangWang brand. ImageImage
Notable features include the LED headlights that merge with the illuminated grille, the boxy fenders and squared-off wheel arches over 20-inch alloy wheels, the flush door handles, the hexagonal spare wheel cover on the tailgate and the futuristic split LED taillights.
