Aussie four-wheel-drive enthusiasts have been divided by a new breed of green utes taking on the nation’s trails. Videos of China’s BYD Shark 6 plug-in hybrid ute taking on tough territory have sparked debate in the off-roading community. Vision of the hybrid-powered utes taking on the infamous “Beer o’clock hill” at The Springs 4X4 Park in south east Queensland lit up social media when one driver took a bold run at a steep and rocky incline, damaging the car’s chassis and cooling system.

COMMENT: Australian car prices could rise or fall following President Trump’s aggressive approach to taxes on vehicles imported into the US. It’s a toss of the coin. Imagine for a moment that Toyota is the Arnott’s biscuit company, the US is Woolworths and Australia is a smaller grocery chain such as IGA. If Woolies stopped buying bickies overnight, Arnott’s would find themselves with tonnes of Tim Tams that must be sold. That’s good news for smaller shops and their customers – at least for a while.
