 |
Proton has announced its eagerly-awaited low-cost model, the S16, will go on sale in Australia on November 1 – and that it will sell for a driveaway price of less than $13,000. The Malaysian company has built the Proton Saga for many years now and the Australia version will be imported as the S16.

 |
Toyota Australia must be very pleased with the sales results of its Aurion V6. Because, while it has given the complete range a visual makeover, it has left the mechanical components virtually untouched.
