BMW 6 Series Old v New: 2016 650i v 1984 635CSi
via caradvice.com.auThere is something about a big, grand touring coupe that just works.
Not cheap. Not practical. Not really anything more than a personal extravagance. And yet, so satisfying.

Back in 1976, BMW launched the E24 6 Series as a replacement for the stylish (but then 10- -
Nissan Z crossover still seems likely
via caradvice.com.auNissan is not denying persistent rumours that the next iteration of the famed Z car — to replace the tired 370Z — will be a higher-riding crossover.

2016 Porsche 718 Boxster Review
via caradvice.com.auFor the past 20-years, the Porsche Boxster has been a somewhat achievable entry point to iconic, flat-six Porsche sports car ownership.
But now, with the 2016 Porsche 718 Boxster, the 2.7-litre flat-six has made way for a 2.0-litre, turbocharged, boxer-four – pushing that six-cylinder Porsche goal just a little bit further away. About $160k further away if a 911 is your new starting point.
The move might upset purists, but it is supported by arguments for emissions and efficiencies, and l -
