Episode 13 includes some new model launches for South Africa in the form of the Honda Jazz and Accord Touring plus BMW’s face lifted 3-Series. We also have a review of the huge Audi A8 3.0TDI and pick our favourite highlights of the 2008 Johannesburg International Motorshow. 

 

In this week’s episode we discuss:

  • Lamborghini confirms Estoque production; surprise with engine choices, a diesel Lambo could be a reality
  • Nissan’s new 370Z, going the same way as the new Murano? We hope not…
  • F1’s New Champ (Lewis), McLaren haters ([Patrick and Tuck) and Obama’s victory, the BMF had the idea first 
  • New Car Launch: BMW 3-Series facelift, 1500 new changes include a new iDrive system   
  • New Car Launch: Honda Jazz, set to set sales alight as the previous generation did? We also get all our facts wrong about the gearbox, it’s just a regular five speed auto
  • New Car Launch: Honda Accord Tourer  
  • Car Review: Audi A8 3.0TDi. Trevor van de Ven has a new-found love for Audi’s diesels and wonders why it even bothers to sell big petrol engine versions 
  • JIMS: The ZACS crew choose their favourite highlights of the 2008 show.
