Kuga bied meer; vra minder
Etlike maande gelede het die Kuga naam redelike blootstelling gekry, maar dalk nie vir die regte redes nie. Ford as vervaardiger het redelik baie deurgemaak sedertdien en slegs 3 maande gelede het die vervaardiger ‘n nuwe “botox” Kuga model bekend gestel.

Toyota se verbeterde RAV4 sit ‘n trotse tradisie voort
Die bekendstelling van Toyota se oorspronklike RAV4 so twee dekades gelede het in die jare daarná selfs dié vervaardiger se stoutste verwagtinge oortref. En sonder twyfel gaan die nuutste en vierde generasie RAV met sy vyf verskillende modelle ‘n nuwe hoofstuk byvoeg tot hierdie suksesverhaal en sal sy mededingers in die gewilde SUV-marksegment hulle sokkies moet optrek.

Tested: 2012 Ford Kuga

The extra character
Last Friday the phone rang and someone announced that they were bringing around a cougar. As I wasn’t sure which sort of man-eater to expect, I locked all doors, put on aftershave and armed myself with a bottle of gin. Imagine my surprise when the unwanted guest turned out to be Ford’s new-ish SUV, the Kuga.
