First verdict on the Fiat Grande Panda: 'A desirable small electric car at an aggressive price that’s packed with interesting details, clever features and enjoyable materials. It looks great, is easy to use, and drives with polite engagement that plots a happy path between comfort and competence.' Bravo, @fiat! 🙌⚡️

@TimPollardCars Random query: trying to identify the half-built motorway filmed here in 1966. (In the movie, East London stood in for East Germany; I'm pretty sure this would have been a British motorway.) Is there anyone expert on 1960s motorways? Thanks. youtu.be/-_7-EBZIkNI

'The new 2024 Audi Q6 e-Tron looks like a supersized Q4 – and that's a compliment – but that clever PPE hardware ushers in much greater range and driving dynamics that strike a fine balance between driving comfort and poise. Mission accomplished, we'd say'

'The Morgan Plus Six is a deeply appealing car,' says @ir_427. 'While it’s more sanitised than classic Morgan models, the increased civility hasn’t eroded the fundamental character or the sense of occasion'
