In Cars, International News, Toyota / by Jonathan Lee / 1 October 2026 5:26 pm Hardcore Top Gear fans will remember that in 2003, Jeremy Clarkson tried to kill an old Toyota Hilux by subjecting it to ever harsher punishments, famously failing to do so. Twenty-three years later, Toyota UK has paid homage to one of the stunts by updating it, swapping out the little red fourth-gen for a brand-new ninth-gen EV to showcase its robustness. The company decided to scope out Reddit to decide which test t
2026 BMW i3 40 xDrive – cheaper 374 PS variant, 82.8 kWh battery, 710 km WLTP range, 300 kW DC charging - paultan.org (opens the original)

In BMW, Cars, Global Car Launches, International News / by Jonathan Lee / 1 October 2026 12:11 pm The BMW i3 is gaining a lower-end variant, the 40 xDrive, joining the 50 xDrive that was announced when the electric sedan was unveiled back in March. Debuting alongside the eighth-generation petrol-powered 3 Series, this new model retains dual-motor all-wheel drive but offers less power and range to go with the cheaper starting price. While the front motor makes the same 167 PS (123 kW) and 255 Nm
Nissan to cut RHD market lead times in half, starting with new X-Trail – 5th-gen T34 in Australia by end-2027 - paultan.org (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nissan is famous in these parts for being slow to launch new products. Case in point: the fourth-generation T33 X-Trail went on sale in the US as the Rogue in 2020, but it’s only coming to Malaysia at the end of this year – by which time the fifth-generation T34 will have entered North American showrooms. But the beleaguered Japanese carmaker is taking steps to redress that balance, starting with the curiously lengthy right-hand drive conversion (yes, even though Japan is a RHD country). Speakin
2027 BMW i3 M60 revealed – first Neue Klasse M Performance EV with yellow lights; bodykit also shown - paultan.org (opens the original)

In BMW, Cars, International News / by Jonathan Lee / 30 September 2026 1:08 pm Besides the petrol-powered 3 Series, BMW has also taken the wraps off the i3 M60 EV, the first M Performance model built on the dedicated Neue Klasse EV architecture. It will form a dual-pronged assault on the sports sedan market alongside the M350, the latter powered by a sonorous straight-six. A smattering of photos accompanying the wider 3 Series release show the car with an M Sport bodykit (of course), along with
2027 BMW 3 Series: 8th-gen ICE G50 gets i3 Neue Klasse looks, tech; 48V mild hybrid standard, 443 PS M350 - paultan.org (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In BMW, Cars, International News / by Jonathan Lee / 30 September 2026 6:01 am After 51 years, the BMW 3 Series enters its eighth generation with the G50, marking a radical overhaul for Munich’s most important model. It’s set to be sold alongside the i3 EV, with both sharing their styling and 3er classification, but they are otherwise unrelated. You see, while the NA0 i3 is built on the dedicated Neue Klasse platform, the G50 continues to use the preceding G20‘s Cluster Architecture (CLAR), albe
