At first glance, the Arteon appears to be a replacement for the Passat CC, and you’d be forgiven for thinking that. However, unlike the Passat which was positioned as a compact executive model (fun fact — ‘CC’ was an acronym for Comfort Coupe!), the Arteon is positioned as a luxury grand tourer and is Volkswagen’s current flagship model.

The Audi RS6 4.0 Avant Tiptronic Quattro 5dr is the sportiest in its range and has been packed with £11,330 (SGD$20,655) of hand-picked extras such as a panoramic sunroof and, understandably, privacy glass. Heated front and rear seats allows royals riding in the back to enjoy the same comforts as those who’ve called ‘shotgun’, and the sports exhaust offers a fitting audio track for those who mistake the car’s high-performance hidden under its subtle exterior.

All because of the 70 to 80 km/h speed limit, everyone feels they have the right of way to hog the fastest lane, which is, if you were to read the Highway Code, should only be used for overtaking; hence it causes traffic build up, frustrates you and most time wish you could see who’s the culprit and mentally punch his face 36 different ways.

With most crossovers, their rugged looks belie a softer, more road-biased drivetrain which is perfectly suitable for most drivers that prefer car-like handling characteristics with an SUV-like appearance. “But what if I’ve only got $100k to spare and want to do some light off-roading?”, you might ask — well here’s where Subaru has got you covered.

So today with us is its quietly introduced entry-level variant, the GLC 200. And since price is an important factor in helping you decide, it comes with a price tag of $228k with COE; nearest competitors, namely the X3 xDrive30i, Q5 2.0 TFSI quattro, XC 60 T5 and F-Pace 2.0 Prestige are priced at $259k, $239k, $230k and $251k — with COE — respectively.

You take a look at the LC 500 here — you’re just not sure. The front end made it look like a serpent and the grill seems a tad over the top. Its headlamps, along with the individual daytime running light and signal repeaters, all LED, seems too abstract. Flanking the car are several creases, paired to a broad shoulder that, potentially, puts Stallone to shame. The rear? Full of details that will not look out of place in a Transformer series, thanks largely to the slit-eyed tail lamps.

Audi S5 Sportback TFSI | Gimme a 5

Powered mainly by a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder petrol engine, that on its own, pushes out a decent 181 bhp and 290 Nm of torque. But coupled with the huge battery that sits under the rear boot, the combined power output is a rather heady 252 bhp and a cumulative torque figure of 420 Nm. This enables the hybrid 3-Series to hit 100 km/h from standstill in 6.1 seconds and propels it to a 225 km/h top speed.
