A Green Initiative and Green (Coloured) Cars

A Green Initiative and Green (Coloured) Cars

This week, we pay a short tribute to the beloved Queen of the Nürburgring, Sabine Schmitz, discuss Volvo's fantastic e-Waste collection and recycling initiative with local startup ERTH, and mull over Suzuki's imminent return in Malaysia. In Part 2, we take a peek at the new BMW i4 and the upcoming 'Olivine Green' Peugeot 308, before reviewing a 'District Green' 2021 Audi A5 Sportback Quattro TFSI. With a steep pricetag, the Audi A5's competition - the Mercedes-AMG C43 and BMW M340i is quite literally a class above, but is there a case for buying this less-powerful Audi over the others? Daniel Fernandez seems to think so.
