Paul Maric of CarAdvice.com.au tests the all new Volkswagen Golf GTI. Pavle.com.au photographed the vehicle, here’s what he had to say:
“The definition of perfect is: exactly fitting the need in a certain situation or for a certain purpose, entirely without any flaws.
Perfect is the word you would use to describe the Mark V Volkswagen Golf GTI. Everything about it was sound and exactly as it should be. Like most other motoring enthusiasts I was left scratching my head, wondering how Volkswagen could possibly improve on the Mark V GTI.
Enter stage left, the Mark VI Volkswagen Golf GTI.
Any motoring tragic worth his name would give up his Peter Brock Polariser for a drive of the new GTI, I certainly wasn’t an exception. Everything about the exterior makes the heart flutter. The sweeping headlights and characteristic GTI red stripes add to the emotion of the package.”

Pavle.com.au spy photographers have been busy this month. In addition to the FPV Coyote V8 and Territory Diesel scoops, the snap happy spies have captured exclusive interior photographs of the Aussie developed Ford Ranger T6 mules.
The Ford Ranger (dubbed the T6) is expected to be ready for the 2012 model year.
Ford Australia is engineering the T6 Ranger with a 2.0-litre variant of the EcoBoost I4 four-cylinder engine. Predicted to produce around 170kW and 325Nm of torque, the engine will provide plenty of torque for the Ranger’s main applications.
In addition to the petrol EcoBoost engine, Ford will retain the 3.0-litre Durtorq 3.0-litre TDCi engine currently in use. The EcoBoost engine will feature Ford’s dual-clutch six-speed automatic transmission, in addition to a six-speed manual option.

Hot off the heels of the release of Holden’s SIDI engine range, Holden has been sprung testing what has been dubbed as the VF Commodore.
The VF Commodore is rumoured to receive a revised front end and interior. Sources within Holden suggest evaluation of prototypes is currently underway with road traversing vehicles (such as the one pictured), along with public workshops on its design elements.
In addition to the design revision, Holden is likely to introduce a turbocharged four-cylinder engine into the Commodore range, allowing the vehicles to use BioFuel, similar to that currently on offer from Saab.
The iTi (Intelligent Turbo Injection) engines will be capable of using E85 ethanol fuel in a bid to possess a greener image.
Pavle.com.au will keep you posted with further details as the come to hand.

With the whole world falling over in economic hardship, Mitsubishi Motors Australia Limited (MMAL) is set to release a lightweight version of its race-bred Japanese sports car, the Evolution X.
While the name is yet to be nutted out, it may carry Ralliart insignia and be marketed toward people who want to use the car solely for racing purposes, while still being able to drive the vehicle on the road.
Powered by the same four-cylinder, 2.0-litre turbocharged engine, it’s set to produce 217kW at 6000rpm and remain available with either the five-speed manual gearbox for the six-speed dual-clutch gearbox.
While the lightest Evolution X currently weighs in at 1,532kg, the lightweight Evolution X is set to slash weight by almost 100kg, seeing the vehicle tip the scales at just 1,457kg.

CarAdvice.com.au’s Matt Brogan road tests the 2009 Mini Cooper S Chilli Cabrio.
“While money can’t buy you love, it certainly can buy you a whole lot of fun, and when it comes to the Mini Cabrio, less roof really does mean more woohoo!
The Mini Cooper S Cabrio Chilli, we’ve just tested sits just under the mighty John Cooper Works edition on the Mini Cabrio line-up, and on top of the Cooper, Cooper S and Cooper R52 models.
While it might carry a hefty price tag with our road test model optioned to just shy of $55,000, the amount of enjoyment squeezed in to this impressive little package is absolutely incontrovertible.”

CarAdvice’s Nadine Armstrong puts six light hatches against each other to sort the good from the bad. Photography by Pavle.com.au.
“Generally speaking, the word ‘light’ implies there’s something missing: less than the others; a lack thereof; insubstantial; skimping.
It rarely invokes a sense of excitement – light beer, for example. As far as the ‘light car’ segment goes, my expectations are immediately managed (down), and I’m ready to be underwhelmed.
Light cars do however have the edge over the heavy-hitting competition in one key area – size – and small proportions thereof.
While ‘small cars’ like the Holden Cruze may offer sharp pricing, impressive safety credentials and a great package, they are decidedly larger than their ankle-biting competition in the light car segment.”

UPDATED: 1:00PM, SUNDAY 9th AUGUST.
While its passenger car sibling Holden has announced the latest in fuel saving engines, its performance arm has been working on the latest iteration of its E-series range.
Pavle.com.au can tell you exclusively that HSV has employed a radical visual design to catch the attention of passing motorists, along with a bi-modal exhaust to deafen the said passing motorists.
LED driving lights appear to be standard across the range (and sit as a horizontal strip across the front bar. Pontiac styling cues ensue in the form of bonnet scoops (presumably non-functional) and a revision to the power outputs place the E2-series HSV comfortably back at the top of the power ladder.
Two engines will be on offer – a 317kW 6.2-litre LS3 V8, along with a 320kW 6.2-litre LS3 V8.
