Tesla has now passed Toyota to become the world’s most valuable carmaker, and our team discusses the way forward for the legacy manufacturers to regain lost ground. The team also looks into the crystal ball to predict what car workshops will be like in the future, and determines why Porsche is such a successful luxury brand in South Africa.

 

 

Moving on to “Auto Talk”, our expert motoring journalists review the new Audi A7 Sportback, and explore reasons why this luxurious fastback could be called art. They also discuss the revelation that the next Volkswagen Amarok will be built alongside the Ford Ranger right here in South Africa, and elaborate on Toyota’s decision to start building hybrid vehicles at their factory in Durban.

 

 

In “Crazy Talk”, the #AutoCentral team discusses the possibility that navigation apps could actually lead to heavier traffic, tries to decide how an old Tesla Roadster could beat a massive Ford F-650 in a tug-of-war, marvel at Sri-Lanka’s “tuk-tuk” racing, and talk about some bizarre car accessories.

 

 

In this week’s “Industry Talk”, the #AutoCentral team highlights some helpful price drops in the used-car market, explore the most-popular sub-fifty-thousand-Rand cars, and talks about a recent survey that shows cautious optimism for the motor industry rebounding in 2021.
