First presented in Europe 55 years ago: The Ford Capri 🤩 How do you like it? ➖ Ford wanted to bring the success of the Mustang to Europe with the "pony car". The target group: 18 to 29-year-olds with sporty aspirations. ➖ The surprising success immediately brought it competition: Opel followed up with the Manta A in 1970, opening up THE hot rod duel in the 70s, complete with tuning excesses. After three generations, a large number of model variants and around 1.8 million units built, the end came in 1986. Only 3,000 examples of the Capri 1 still exist, which are highly sought-after on the classic car market.

Congrats to the $97K before on road costs Kia EV9 on taking out the car of the year and EV family category! Good price point in the sub $100k category. Also car of the year, something most Australians can clearly afford! 🤷🏼♂️😂🤦♂️ Also congrats to the Carnival the same brand competitor taking out the Family car category in the sub $80k range that starts at $48k before on roads. Apples for apples where does the MG4 compare to the golf? Why separate drivetrains? Why have different (read higher) brackets for EVs? Where’s the sub $30k EV that has been alluded to by anyone and everyone crusading the end of ICE vehicles? I assume it’s waiting to for ICE carbon taxes or EV subsidises from the government! Both the polo and mg4 are family cars, I assume all lower middle income families can justify the price differential 😂. But don’t forget they will save $1,000 a year in fuel. Tongue in cheek post but issue number 1 is affordability to the average Australian. Repeat AFFORDABILITY TO THE AVERAGE AUSTRALIAN. Not those in ivory towers or government funded positions.

We are incredibly excited to announce that Porsche Austin is the #1 Porsche Premier Center in the United States! 🏁🇺🇸 What does this mean? The Porsche Premier Dealer Program identifies the top 25 Porsche Centers in the United States. It recognizes and rewards those Porsche Centers that best embrace the 'Porsche Business Model' - achieving the highest performance among their peers in Brand utilization, product representation and the development of key 'Porsche business drivers'; and in doing so, succeed as independent entrepreneurs who routinely exceed the expectations of their Porsche customers. Our Philosophy Porsche is a prestigious, authentic brand with a unique heritage and a fervent core of enthusiasts. Porsche owners are passionate about their automobiles in a way no other automotive marque can match. Those who purchase a Porsche are buying more than a car-they are buying a legend. Porsche enthusiasts are driven, successful people who demand the very best. Owning a Porsche is a reflection of their values. Driving a Porsche connects with the very essence of their psyche. This deep-rooted link between car and driver must also be forged between the company and the customer in order to create an ownership experience that is every bit as satisfying as the Porsche driving experience itself.
