Ford Falcon father dies
Robert Strange McNamara passed away yesterday, and will be remembered and reviled for many things, primarily the Vietnam War. For car enthusiasts, as well as taxi riders all over Australia, he's the forgotten man who ushered into the world the Falcon and its sexier two-door cousin the Mustang.
evMe: An in-depth look
From both the outside and inside, there's little to distinguish the petrol slurping Mazda 2 from the electric evMe. So we took a look underneath its skin to see what makes it hum.

evMe
The day when we whirr around silently in our electric cars is closer than we think, if the evMe is any indication. All that's needed is for battery prices to collapse, or a sweet boatload of Kevin07 cash.

Canon Pixma MP980
The Canon Pixma MP980 multifunction printer, copier, and scanner is a step up from its predecessor, but the print quality isn't up to standard and it doesn't perform as quickly as the competition.

Ford Fiesta Econetic
Fit a Fiesta with a highly efficient diesel engine, special tyres and a green shift light, and you've got a car capable of besting the Toyota Prius in the fuel economy stakes.

Mazda 2 Neo 3-door hatch (2008)
Smaller and lighter than the previous model, the Mazda 2 is a revelation for small cars, and for cars in general. There's not much tech on the inside, save maybe the 3.5mm auxiliary input for your MP3 player.
-
Ford Fiesta Zetec 5-door automatic (2009, WS)
Despite being the sportiest Fiesta, the Zetec automatic is still lumbered with the less powerful 1.4-litre engine. Maybe the Bluetooth hands-free, six-speaker stereo with USB and full complement of safety kit will make you feel better.
-
Ford Fiesta Zetec 5-door manual (2009, WS)
Five-doors plus Bluetooth hands-free, USB, six-speaker stereo, body kit and a full complement of safety kit equals the Fiesta Zetec. Oddly the sportiest Fiesta (so far) has no extra power.
-
Ford Fiesta Zetec 3-door manual (2009, WS)
The sportiest of the new Fiestas doesn't have any extra power, but does include standard Bluetooth hands-free, USB slot, body kit and alarm.
-
Ford Fiesta LX 5-door manual (2009, WS)
Upgrading to the LX nets you a six speaker audio system with an auxiliary jack for MP3 player connectivity, Bluetooth hands-free with voice control, alloy wheels and cruise control.
