Think Blue, Go Green
In celebration of its fifth anniversary, Volkswagen Hong Kong had the Volkswagen Think Blue night at Ocean Park, inviting more than 10,000 customers and members of the public to join the festivities.

Essence of style
Infiniti's first showroom is a step in the premium brand's quest to establish a strong presence in Hong Kong. Last year, the company moved its global headquarters to the city which bridges the Western world and Asia and provides an excellent gateway to China.

Pure delight
Can this be the same range as the hot little Mercedes E-Class roadster I tested so many years ago near Hanover, Germany? One half of the test course was on the autobahn, so I was delighted to push the convertible to well over 160km/h, enjoying the summer sun as much as the lack of speed limits.

Regality onboard
The annual Hong Kong Gold Coast Boat Show has become the premier get- together for boat owners and sea enthusiasts. And so it was over the weekend of May 10-12, when a wide range of luxurious yachts was showcased against the charming marina backdrop of the Gold Coast Yacht and Country Club.

Real eye-opener
Comfort, safety, elegance, efficiency - the new GL-Class from Mercedes-Benz offers everything required for a Hong Kong SUV enthusiast.

Sporty veteran
For more than 30 years, the letters GTI have stood for superior, dynamic Volkswagen performance. The latest Volkswagen Polo GTI is no exception - offering sporty performance in a stylish package that was proudly unveiled recently in Hong Kong.

Handling heaven
Several Mazda6 generations ago, motoring writers were invited to Macau for a launch of the car. A slalom was set up in a parking lot. But the space was too small for the competition, so instructors tutored us on how to get around the cones without knocking them over.

Only way to travel
Toyota's all-new Previa Aeras has officially arrived in Hong Kong and is attracting new fans across the territory every day with its breathtaking exterior as well as elegantly appointed equipment and a superb host of special touches.

Power unleashed
Meeting an old friend can make your day. I recall one glorious day at Zhuhai Circuit. It was an Audi Experience day, in which we media were shown how to handle various models in slaloms and other tricky situations. But the star of the day was the Audi RS 4.

Classy CR-Z
The Honda CR-Z is a four-seater compact hybrid marketed as a sport hybrid coupe. They say the CR-Z combines a hybrid petrol-electric powertrain with traditional sports-car elements. For example, it offers 2+2 seating and a standard manual transmission.
