Episode 23 of ZA Car Show, and our second week with the new intro theme. Doesn’t it just sound grand?
Perhaps not as grand as our content line-up, with Patrick, Christo and the Trevors talking about some pre-Geneva launches, Subaru’s lower-priced WRX hatch and reviews on the Honda Jazz, as well as the face lifted Audi A3 Sportback TDI: a car that can park itself.

In this episode we also discuss:

• SAAB on the skids – not the good ones either – Chapter 13. SAAB says “it’s the right way to go”
• Renault Sandero launches in South Africa. Is there room for these budget cars?

Er...yes...well...we'll miss you Chris Bangle...

• BMW 7 series teases with ads flighted in South Africa – when is it coming?
• Subaru WRX Price Drop – Cheaper new than they are second hand. Legendary – not so much if you already own one.
• Chrysler’s Hail Damage special – save up to R100 000 on list price – too bad there’s no 300C Tourings on sale
• The A1 GP in Johannesburg for the first time
• We cover a couple of other F1 related news, including Renault, Honda Filipe and Virgin…oops did we say Filipe’s a Virgin? [no, thank goodness]

Luckilly it does not look like an elephant's back end though.
