In this episode, Mandy is joined by Mike Costello and James Wong, with Scott Collie chiming in to run through the latest in automotive news and what’s happening at the CarExpert offices around Australia.
This week in car news, the team talks 2021 Chevrolet Corvette pricing, the Ford Mondeo being axed, four-cylinder plug-in hybrid power for the next Mercedes-AMG C63, the 2021 Subaru Outback stop-sale issue being identified, and the federal opposition’s proposed policy to boost the uptake of electric vehicles.
Scott Collie dials in to discuss his launch drives of the new Mazda MX-30 M Hybrid and the all-new Renault Captur, and Mike Costello dishes on the CarExpert Experience Centre now open at Westfield Warringah in New South Wales.
