But I personally think its success doesn't come from sales, but how it is a canvas for Audi to paint its most beautiful picture, using the best of the brand\'s talents and medium- technology.

Tech Tower | Audi A8 L 3.0 TFSI

The A8 has always been and will likely continue to be Audi's epitome of 'vorsprung durch technik' (progress through technology).


Any privileged petrolhead will tell you that while track-focused machines like a Porsche GT3 or a Lotus Exige are simply out-of-this-world to pilot, their lack of practicality just makes them useless as everyday cars.

Roads Not Included | Audi RS4 Avant

It loses the naturally-aspirated V8, but the new force-fed V6 still makes the latest RS4 a superb drive.


The Driver Says… This is a very big car, there’s no denying that fact. Measuring in at 5,271 mm long, 1,905 mm wide and with a wheelbase of 3,165 mm, it has presence everywhere it goes. Oh, and it weighs slightly more than two tonnes, mind you.

Besides being another limo for the well heeled, its performance surprises on many fronts


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.

UK’s Prince Harry Puts His RS6 For Sale

The immaculate wagon RS6 has only been used once by the Prince; is the Prince looking for something more family friendly?


BMW though, always seem the laid-back fella. While Audi and Mercedes-Benz were going all out trying to fill every single segment they could, BMW probably told themselves, “Nahhh… Let us wait and see first, yah?”

BMW X2 sDrive20i M Sport X | The Young Ones

BMW's compact SUV is targeted at the young, but does it have what it takes?


Ok, so you’ve heard countless times how the Germans are the obvious choices. But have you looked around you? My word, the 3 Series, C-Class, A4 and XE are everywhere, to the point they’ve become - sorry to say this BMW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz and Jaguar - mass-market. There’s that undeniable brand appeal, true, but imagine driving to your college reunion and seeing Mark the rugby player, Jonathan the science geek, Eugene the bully and even Sam the teacher’s pet all turning up in the same executive sedan as you. You guys might reconnect and after this become closest buddies e-v-e-r, but in a nutshell, your uniqueness is no longer with you. Heck, back then you were the coolest dude simply because you could sing and play the guitar.

Italy’s answer for the compact executive segment is actually… irresistible


That said however, the $172k price tag (with COE) does make it sound highly attractive. Its fellow turbocharged 2.0-litre peers are priced even higher: BMW 320i at S$193k, Audi A4 at S$177k, Jaguar XE at S$177k, Lexus IS300 at S$191k and lastly the priciest of the lot, Mercedes-Benz C250 at S$229k. See what I mean?

VW apprentices develops special Golf GTI

The team from Wolfsburg shows a Golf GTI ‘Next Level’ with 405 bhp


But to me, this ‘middle-class’ fast SUV is already hot enough. For starters, it features a tuned B58 unit, a turbocharged 3.0 liter inline-six engine already found in the M240i. It’s an open rumour that the eventual king-of-the-hill X3 M (if it does go into production) will have an enhanced version of this power-plant.

Audi RS 5 Coupé | Clinical Coupé

The new RS 5 is longer, lighter and sexier than its predecessor. But it’s also two cylinders down - does it make the car less fun to drive? We find out


Hence it is a lovely surprise to see a youthful model from Sweden appear here. In theory this is the product Volvo badly needed to reach out to the younger crowd, and at a time where the Germans are covering every segment they possibly could, the direction Volvo took is definitely the right one; although some might opine they’re a little late to the party.

Volvo tries to capture the younger crowd with this one - but is there enough for its targeted audience?


Conceptualised as the Kia GT Concept back in 2011 at the Frankfurt Motor Show, the low and wide grand tourer with suicide doors got tongues wagging with its radical styling and rather un-Kia-like rear-wheel drive layout. 6 years on, the production car we have here today looks darn close to the concept with aggressive vents, sweeping roofline and wraparound taillights.

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.

Set your eyes on the S5 and the same sleek lines from the A5 will put a smile on your face. A friend of ours is looking at purchasing an A5 and his words were “It was love at first sight”. The S5 though, has chunkier bumpers and larger side skirts with a matte black trimming than contrasts well with the white paint on our test car.
