Press Release | New Hyundai Sonata
I'm pleased to see that manufacturers are still designing and building sedans, whether in petrol and diesel rather than pure EV. It's really a contest of East v West. The Europeans are sliding to all EV, with a few exceptions, while the East are remaining steadfastly ICE and EV, at least for the time being. And Hyundai Motors have released images and information on yet another sedan, this time the Hyundai Sonata Mid-Sized Sedan
New design embodies ‘The Sportiness’ with a long hood and wide front-end layout that integrates a Seamless Horizon Lamp for a more aggressive image

With its driver-centric interior layout, the eighth-generation SONATA implements a future mobility sensibility with delicate high-tech details

For the first time in a Hyundai model, the new SONATA implements a curved display that combines driver information clusters and the infotainment system

The new SONATA’s aero-friendly exterior design improves fuel efficiency and stability during high-speed driving compared with other midsize sedans

The redesigned sport sedan to be available in standard and N Line variants and launch globally March 30

Mitsubishi previews next-gen Mitsubishi Triton XRT Concept at Bangkok International Motor Show

It's been a time getting to this point, but just yesterday, Mitsubishi Motors has annouced the upcoming reveal of their all-new Mitsubishi Triton XRT Concept. As is customary for Mitsubishi Motors, the new model Triton XRT will be first seen at the 44th Bangkok International Motor Show. This Triton XRT is the first all-new model since early 2015.

Tokyo, March 21, 2023 – Mitsubishi Motors Corporation will display the Mitsubishi XRT Concept – a concept car of the all-new Triton1 pickup truck planned for launch in fiscal year 20232 – at the 44th Bangkok International Motor Show 20233 to be held from March 21 to April 2.

I'll be upfront from the start. My company, Northstar Motor Group, was one of the first Chery dealers in Australia in 2011. I kept the franchise for just under a year. The J1 and J11 models that were launched were a major dissapointment from the first car and our sales results were poor.

At the time, Chery priced their cars very competitively at $9,990 drive away for the J1 small hatch and $19,990 for the J11 SUV. It seemed right on the money, but quality is more critical to Aussie buyers than just the lowest price or so it seemed then.

So, twelve years later, the second incarnation of Chery has arrived in Australia. The Chery Omoda 5 is a much better-looking car than the first J series. It's been priced to the market at $32,190 drive away, but how will it be in quality? I only had the opportunity to drive it for four days, and it's always the first impression that counts.

Long wait times for new cars. If you've been trying to get some facts from a new car dealer about production delays, I suggest that you read this story from Matty Holdsworth.
