After some time without electricity at the studio and the festive time of the year, ZA Car Show returned for the penultimate episode of 2009. The team is joined by a representative, Carmen Du Preez from Rager, a mobile phone-based traffic management system; Carmen helps shed some light on how this system works and why its important to register.  We also discuss South Africa’s Car of The Year and some new, but pointless models from Mercedes and VW.

Just before Frankfurt, a flurry of releases and reveals took place: thankfully, we cover just the most interesting ones. In next week’s show, we’ll do a post-Frankfurt wrap up and sort the wheat from the chaff.  This weeks best news is the unveiling of the  tribute to Mercedes-Benz’s classic 300 SL and possible McLaren SLR replacement, the Mercedes-Benz SLS. Another funny red car made the reveal with the Ferrari-tuned little Abarth 695 Tributo. This week we also pit two hot-hatch price competitors together with very different characters; MINI’s JCW goes head to head with the Golf VI GTI.

More show notes and additional news after the jump.
