Reviews

  • Sony Ericsson Naite

    Sony Ericsson's Naite isn't a heart-starter but let's face it, the reason you'd buy the Naite is for the secret pleasure of knowing your phone is slightly less of a burden on the environment than those wretched iPhones.

  • Gran Turismo for PSP

    Gran Turismo on the PSP serves as a tantalising appetiser to come before the Gran Turismo 5 main course is due out on the PlayStation 3 next year.

  • Lexus IS250 Sports Luxury (2009)

    What the IS250 lacks in badge snobbery, it makes up for in good looks, rock-solid quality, neat handling and serenity enough to becalm a frazzled monk. While stuffed with tech, it isn't quite as up-to-date as we'd have liked.

  • Mitsubishi i MiEV

    Tall, lanky and cute as a bean, the Mitsubishi i MiEV seems to be a practical electric car for city driving. Shame it's only here for feasibility studies, not to mention lots of gawking.

  • Sony Bravia KDL40WE5

    The Sony Bravia KDL40WE5 is an impressive first stab at creating a "green" LCD, and while picture quality is good you pay a premium for the proprietary backlight.

  • Volkswagen Passat Ling Yu fuel cell

    Don't let the plain Jane clothing fool you, there's impressive powertrain technology hiding in this Passat that emits only water as exhaust.

  • Honda Insight (2010)

    It looks like a Prius, but Honda's hybrid Prius fighter is cheaper, simpler and winning plaudits around the world. Shame it won't be here until late this year, at the earliest.

  • Toyota Camry Hybrid (2010)

    Previewed with a coat of brilliant paint, a dash of blingy wheel action and a sprinkle of leather fantasy at Melbourne this year, the hybrid Camry is due on sale in 2010.

  • Toyota says electric cars too pricey, for now
