Wilhelm Lutjeharms writes... [E-mail the author] CAR's editorial team has been trotting around the globe this past week to report back on several new cars and model line-ups. To start, Peter Palm has been behind the wheel of Volkswagen's Amarok single-cab offering in the Eastern Cape, while Gareth Dean visited Munich, Germany, to drive Jaguar's new 2,2-litre turbodiesel engine that powers the updated XF. Can such a small-capacity engine work in this executive saloon? Another international launch took place in Zurich, Switzerland, where Audi chose to introduce its next entry-level SUV, the Q3.
