It's double trouble on the show this week as Daniel and Ali steer us through the latest in the automotive world.

Starting things off with a couple of luxury new additions hitting our showrooms, the gorgeous, all-new Aston Martin Vantage model that's straight off the silver screen, and the elegant and athletic Mercedes-Benz CLE 300 Coupé. Then, a pick of the headlines in the auto world: Celebrating the 70th anniversary of the Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint in Malaysia, and the announcement of the brand new bespoke Automobili Pininfarina Battista.

Next, it's undeniable that the influx of Chinese brands entering local markets have been shaking up the automotive scene, but it's time for pickup trucks to get the same treatment. Daniel gives us the run of the situation.

Finally, Daniel gives us a taste of what it felt like behind the wheel of the Peugeot 408 GT. Tune in to hear his review of the beautiful, new age Peugeot that conjures comparisons to a Lamborghini Urus.
