Firstly, apologies for putting up this episode later than usual. Starting with episode 45 – recording tonight – we will upload and post episodes within 12 hours of recording. The freshest news from SA’s only motoring podcast, just like you’d expect. There’s also a little something in the works for our 1st birthday. Watch this space.

Coming at you this week with the mad flavour of ZACS which is high in auto news insight an opinion and low in Christohydrates. The truth is Christo was swanning about on the Port Elizabeth Riviera, South Africa testing the new VW Passat CC (sorry we’re not allowed to call it a Passat anymore).

The team covers what turned out to be a very busy news week for the motor industry both locally and abroad. Hopefully it’s a sign of good things to come.

Show notes and links to news stories after the jump.

Three up, the team is without Christo van Gemert this week in a show that it filled with opinion and news. This past week we saw GM on its last legs as a solvent company, Porsche with some dodgy financials and hidden loans and number of smaller brands looking for buyers. We also take a look into the local motoring news, hold off on the review of the BMW Z4 and deliver our driving impressions on the Audi Q5 3.0 TDI, an SUV that we wanted to hate.

More show notes and news after the jump…

After what seems like a hiatus with the mishap of Episode 16, we are back in full force (kind of) with a show packed with new car news (surprisingly) and some car reviews.

In episode 17 we discuss:

• The Audi A5 Convertible. A5 = handsome; A5 convertible = pretty
• The King Of The Mountain event held on the Gydo Pass in the Western Cape- when a motorsport spectacle goes wrong. Shocking
• MINI unveils the new convertible – is it new, it’s so hard to tell these days?
• The four-door supercar, Porsche Panamera (Flash version) or non flash news
• SA’s NAAMSA figures for November 2008. Shocking. For the long media release, click on this coloured word, but rather listen to the show
• Toyota sells dangerous Hiluxes, and provides a solution: new tyres.
• SA Car of the Year 2009, the nominees are…[drum roll]
• Test Driven: Facelift Ford Focus ST
• and more…
