Why BMW's 330e could be a best seller
BMW's greenest 3-Series variant, the 330e, has landed in Australia. Photo: Mark Bean BMW Australia has thrown the gauntlet down to the federal government, questioning why it has continued to overlook buyer incentives for vehicles like its new 330e plug-in hybrid.There was no mention of green car incentives, rebates or subsidies in the Federal budget this week, a factor that has been an ongoing frustration for many of Australia's biggest importers. The likes of BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi a..>> view originalNBN Co nears million active connections

There have been very few video game characters as well conceived as Nathan Drake. Exuding charm and determination, strength and vulnerability, he is the sort of male lead great Hollywood screenwriters aspire to create, but that video games have tended to bypass in favour of gritty, cynical sociopaths on mindless quests for retribution. Nathan is a character you care for and want to protect, even when he makes awful decisions that will hurt the people he loves. That is great writing.

The 2017 A4 is a solid compact car with agile and responsive handling, and available with Audi's quattro all-wheel drive system for improved traction over front-wheel drive A4s. Consumer Reports predicts reliability of the new A4 to be much better than average, and the federal government said the new model earned five out of five stars in frontal and side crash testing. It's worth noting, though, that the new A4 looks a lot like the old A4 on the outside, despite a new underlying platform.

The Toyota GT86 and Subaru BRZ won plenty of fans with their balanced rear-drive chassis at launch in 2012, but besides a mid-life redesign of the budget sports coupe in New York, very little has changed in the ToyoBaru world – at least very little had changed until Toyota whipped the covers off the GT86 Shooting Brake concept. Developed by Toyota's Australian team, the concept was hand-built in Japan. Just as Mercedes has done with its CLS and CLA, Toyota took the coupe and grafted on a slopin..>> view originalNetflix update helps fight mobile data bill shock
