All Things Motoring International - In the October issue of this magazine, my monthly auto industry column looks at the big debuts at the IAA Mobility Show in Munich, including the controversy around Mercedes' design boss, Gorden Wagener's very unexpected critique of designs from rival carmakers. 

Magneto - Bugatti is appealing to those who want ultimate exclusivity with its new Solitaire programme. I was at the reveal of the first creation, the Brouillard, at the Bugatti Design Studio in Berlin where head of design, Frank Heyl explained their approach to coachbuilding.

Motorscribe on YouTube - The Alfa Romeo Junior Elettrica Speciale adds Alfa style to the Stellantis EV platform it shares with Citroen, Jeep, Peugeot and Vauxhall. It looks great, but does its design do enough to hide its flaws and should you stretch the budget for the Veloce version?

Autocar - The Suzuki Jimny became a firm favourite very quickly in the UK. Then just as quickly it was taken away due to emissions regs. It's still avaialble in some international markets and recently a more practical five-door version was added. I drove it in South Africa and you can read my review of it for Autocar here.

The Telegraph - The Porsche Taycan combines sportiness with clean electric driving, but it's probably not the first choice to take on a camping trip. We jumped into a Taycan Cross Turismo with a rooftop tent and headed into the hills of north west Wales, a place notorious for lacking rapid EV charging facilities.
