Every week Damien writes a list of five things for www.stuff.co.nz. Here is this week’s list of random nonsense!
Hyundai’s first ever EV and dedicated hybrid are here. We head down to drive the Ioniq a long way away from a charging station…
The second generation Porsche Panamera looks a lot better than its predecessor, but is the beauty only skin deep?
