Read MoreTaking the top dog of Toyota’s one-tonne ute family to visit a highway landmark that’s being transformed into a visitor attraction.
Read MoreKia biggest offering is a people-mover. Honestly, that shouldn’t be a turn-off.
Read MoreFull-sized eight-seater from the Korean giant’s US division looks like a big deal.
Read MoreWHENEVER a brand-new vehicle is launched, it is already almost out of date – because back at headquarters they’re already working on the vehicle’s first facelift.
