Isuzu Flexes Its Muscles With The New D-Max Pickup Truck

We kick off this show with a short discussion about the myth of making the most of your petrol bill by fueling up at night, then go through a heap of car launches that feature the Lexus LM350, Toyota's first of seven branded EVs, the bZ4X, and two of the latest Mercedes EQ electric vehicles.

Our car review this week follows the new Isuzu D-Max X-Terrain 3.0, and how it's moved the local pickup-truck market up a notch. As Daniel says, 'it's Isuzu flexing their muscles'.
