On 15 February 2026, in Afyonkarahisar, Türkiye, Dario Costa looked at aviation… then looked at a moving cargo train doing 120km/h… and said, “Ja, that’ll do.” The project… charmingly titled Train Landing… was not some back-of-the-napkin boerie-roll brainstorm. It was a world-first dual manoeuvre: land a race aircraft on a moving cargo train… then take off again from the same container… immediately into a vertical climb. Because apparently landing on …

Five hundred SUVs have just rolled off a ship in Durban… and somewhere in Gauteng, a German executive just spilled his cappuccino. Yes, the first 500 LEPAS L4 units have officially touched South African soil at the Transnet Port Terminals in Durban. This isn’t just another container of “value-for-money” crossovers arriving quietly in the night. No, this is the South African debut of LEPAS… the premium brand under the mighty …

Yes, while Oom Gert is still arguing on Facebook about how “hybrids can’t tow a caravan to Klerksdorp,” the Chery Tiggo 7 CSH quietly rolled into the 2025 TopGear South Africa Magazine Awards and walked off with the Eco Warrior of the Year title like it had just popped out for milk and bread. And not because it hugged a tree. Because it embarrassed physics. During real-world testing by TGSA, …

Some SUVs shout about adventure… others actually bring the space to pack it.The iCAUR V27 is firmly in the second camp. Less chest-thumping, more “ja, chuck the bikes in… we’re leaving now.” This is a range-extender SUV aimed squarely at families, explorers, weekend warriors and that one friend who always brings everything. It doesn’t just promise practicality… it arrives with a tape measure, a spreadsheet, and a smug little grin. …

AI can create stunning images in seconds. Perfect light. Perfect scenes. Zero effort. And yet, they often feel… hollow. Purists say it’s cheating. Creatives fear it’s the end of real work. But what if we’re asking the wrong question entirely? What if AI isn’t here to replace creativity, but to expose who was relying on tools instead of vision all along?

If cars had Instagram bios, the GWM Jolion Pro Limited Edition would read something like… “Confident. Slightly flashy. Still practical enough to fetch the kids.” And honestly… that’s exactly the point. This is not a reinvention. This is not a mid-life crisis with chrome. This is the Jolion Pro turning up in a crisp jacket, a fresh haircut, and just enough attitude to make the other B-SUVs shuffle awkwardly in …
