Hi there, Bob Aldons, The Car Guy with an exciting release courtesy of Wheels Mag. 2021 Ford Ranger engine details revealed. Most of you youngsters won’t remember the time when the Australian Government essentially killed off the muscle car when they prevented the development of the GTHO Phase 4 Falcon.
4th September 2019 Stuttgart Germany Here we go again – Porsche have launched an electric car – Porsche Tayan Turbo and the price here in Australia – $150,900 for the base Turbo to $272,000 for the S model So how much are you paying for the “Soul of a Porsche”?
All-new 2020 Hyundai Veloster brings refined coupe styling with upgraded performance to deliver an engaging and dynamic driving experience From this angle (above) the 2020 Hyundai Veloster looks like any other stylish coupe, but it really is a ‘transformer’ in car clothing.

You’ve no doubt read the story about Goldilocks – the beds, and too soft, too hard and just right. So the same applies to Nissan’s range of SUV’s – Juke, Qashqai, X-Trail, Pathfinder and Patrol. There’s a size to fit anyone. And now that Nissan has extended its warranty to
Thanks to the folks at Which Car, thought I’d re-post this story. Based on a JL Jeep Wrangler and a 745kW Dodge engine, the 2020 Rezvani is perfect for all those ‘Ends of Days’ folk out there. Probably more so in the USA than Australia, but heck, you’ll get the
“Can you build me a vehicle that we can use to go to church on Sunday, without getting wet, and that my husband can use to take the pigs to market on Monday?” When Lew Bandt first developed the utility in 1933 I’m positive he would never have considered how

Hello and welcome to my new website thecarguy.com.au!
I know that there’s a lot of websites that offer car reviews, car road tests, opinions on various cars and the like. What makes this site different is that I’m not going to bore you with technical information about the various cars that I review.
I’ve been in the car business for over 39 years. I’ve read the motoring magazines cover to cover. I’ve read the online reviews until my eyes were square. Everywhere that I go, I find motoring journalists talking about car speeds – 0 – 100 km per hour, standing ¼ times, the inclination of this and that at 150klm per hour on a 12.5% gradient curve, in rainy weather – and other stuff that bores me no end.
thecarguy.com.au is taking a different path on the journey to helping you purchase a new car. I’ll do my best to advise you on what I consider to be the most important information when it comes to that major decision to purchase a car. Interior room, features of the car, fuel economy, safety, service prices, resale and lots more. I’ll tell you what I like about a particular car and as importantly, what I don’t like, to find at least to be less than I think a car should have. .
And I’ll ask for your opinion. Take some pics of what you’re driving and tell me and our audience what you particularly like or dislike about your car. Because besides prospective new car buyers, there’s a lot of people who’ll read your comments as used car buyers.
So, jump on board, strap yourself in and let’s start out on the journey with The Car Guy.
