It may be shameless, but it is pretty cool. We are currently in Thailand on the launch of the latest Ford Fiesta. During a break in the drive programme we stopped at the brilliant Thai Elephant Conservation Centre, where we witnessed this shameless, but thoroughly brilliant piece of promotion – an elephant writing the word […]

Now, it is no secret that we here at OVERSTEER are fans of the Citroen DS3 Sport hatch. After all, you only have to read our original road test of the automatic version to see evidence of that. That’s right, it was automatic and ONLY FOUR SPEEDS, yet we still fell in love with it. […]
The Range Rover Sport has been a remarkable success for the Jaguar Land Rover Group since its launch in 2005 and that success would certainly appear to be continuing for the all-new model, which has already seen 100 orders placed before it even goes on sale locally. In fact the demand is so strong that […]
Got more money than you reasonably know how to spend? Well then, you could either chuck some OVERSTEER’s way or you could blow a chunk of it buying your very own, one-of-a-kind prototype bespoke police car. Seriously. The Carbon Motors E7 looked to be well on track to become a production reality and, as such, would […]
Hybrids. They’re the future, buddy. Except they’re not. A feel-good stop-gap between internal combustion and true emission-free motoring, to be sure, but hardly the long-term future. But as a short-term solution, the diesel-hybrid goodness of the Peugeot 3008 HY4 is about as good – and certainly as quirky – as they come. Forget all this […]
Or should that be “A bunch of Hyundai”? Pffft… plurals. Who cares? Anyway, a low-key series of revamps was there order of the day for the Hyundai MY14 range launch in a wet, miserable Auckland the other day. The ix35, i40 wagon, Accent and Elantra all got upgrades for the forthcoming sales year, adding more […]
We are going to try something new very shortly – Live Road Tests! Well… when we say “Live” we actually mean a Road Test that we update daily as we actually have the car – not a test that comes days, weeks or even months (if we’ve been particularly lazy…) after we have had it. […]
Clearly having a fleet of some of the sexiest and most expensive supercars in the world isn’t enough for the Dubai police department – now they are turning to pimped-out SUVs. They have just added a Brabus B63S-700 Widestar to the fleet. Packing a Brabus-tweaked 5.5-litre biturbo V8, the Brabus beast is good for 522kW […]
Ford has announced the comeback of the Falcon XR8 and, in doing so, will make the awesome supercharged V8 ‘Miami’ engine available in the Falcon for the first (and last) time! The XR8 was dropped in 2010 when FPV moved to the supercharged engine (the old V8 no longer met emission standards), meaning that no […]
What is it with Finns and driving? Seriously. I mean, when they talk, you could be forgiven for thinking that they were slightly slow or recently suffered a massive head injury or something, but put them behind the wheel of a car and they are simply astonishing. They also appear to be hugely fun people, […]
