The third episode of the NZ Motoring Podcast is now available to download or stream! In this episode Damien and David discuss the yearly sales figures for 2014, a new Mitsubishi dealership and some old Mercedes! But don’t panic, it’s NOT boring because we make fun of Toyota for being sore losers and the Mitsubishi dealership belongs […]
Small and Medium SUVs are where it is at, in an automotive sense, with the demand for tall hatchbacks the little guys going through the roof. This has been a problem for Mercedes-Benz, especially in New Zealand. While they are on a roll in the luxury passenger car segment, they are lagging behind Audi and […]
This sort of thing has been done so many times now it is not funny. But still it is a very cool thing to watch! A single lap handicapped race between a 2011 Red Bull RB7 driven by David Coulthard, a current Triple 8 Red Bull Holden V8 Supercar driven by Steven Richards and the […]
Big noise and big power. The American manufacturers understand the appeal of this concept and so do the Aussie manufacturers. But you know who else understands the appeal of big, fast, noisy cars?

When it comes to truly world-class performance machinery derived from lesser, but still brilliant, cars there are really only two names that count. Or, rather, four letters: “M” and “AMG”. The Germans know how to squeeze utterly mental power out of otherwise “standard” cars better than anyone else on the planet. I mean, take the […]
Now, as much as we utterly love driving here at Oversteer, we will be the first to put our clammy hands up for a self-driving car. Why? Because there are SOOOOO many times it would be awesome. Let’s face it; commuting – whether it be between towns, down the road or sitting in soul-destroying barely […]
Small sedans; we don’t really get what they are all about here and they avoid them like Ben Affleck movies in Asian countries (except for China). However, they are VERY popular in the USA and they would seem poised to be The Next Big Thing in Europe. So does that mean the Mercedes-Benz CLA is […]
