We pick up our first Audi for a test-drive after a nearly decade-long hiatus. And it’s a good one too, for our re-introduction to the brand. The facelifted A5 Sportback, with the supercharged V6, is quite a car.
The Toyota 4Runner SUV, the Toyota Tacoma midsize pickup and the Toyota Tundra fullsize truck are not offered in the GCC, but we’re sure many here wish there were, given the number of grey imports running around on UAE streets. Built in the United States, Toyota is now offering each one with a Pro Series package there.
Toyota has launched an “interactive telematics service” called T-Connect in the Middle East, which is basically a navigation app for your smartphone, but with an on-call concierge. It will come with every new Toyota purchase.

The VW Polo in its hatchback form, is a sub-compact which bade the GCC market goodbye just a few couple of years ago. However, it did continue its life in its home continent and some select markets, and has just received a facelift for 2014 which includes powertrain updates and more engine choices.
BMW has just launched the BMW 4-Series Gran Coupe, in what is the sixth body style to be based on the 3-Series platform.
We in the Middle-East are spoilt for choice when it comes to choosing a nice piece of metal to hit the dunes. Of course, among pickups, there’s only one top dog, from the Ford camp. However, the folks at tuners Lingenfelter and Southern Comfort Automotive ask you to think otherwise with their Silverado-based Chevrolet Reaper.
With all the hype over three-row crossover SUVs such as the Ford Explorer, the Honda Pilot and the Nissan Pathfinder, we’re wondering why more people don’t ask us about the Dodge Durango when discussing their shopping lists. They should, because we could hardly find a fault with the facelifted 2014 version that we just drove across the country in.
When it comes to cars, how do you turn more heads than a Bugatti Veyron with only a Dhs 25,000 budget? The Nagawa XFR is the easy answer, and yes, that’s what it costs.
Rolls-Royce recently revealed the Ghost V-Specification model, a limited edition version of the Ghost and Ghost long-wheel base version. It will only be available from this January to June 2014.
