In the news this week, we make a little public service announcement to remind people to renew your road tax, driver's license or insurance coverage, as the license moratorium expires on 31st December 2021. We also discuss Nissan's target to have 50% of their global sales in 2030 be electrified vehicles, before finishing up on the extremely controversial BMW XM.

In Part 2, we go through the local car launches with the family-oriented Kia Carnival, the classy pickup truck in the Mazda BT-50, and the trackday enthusiast's dream car, the Porsche 911 GT3. We ride on the dream car theme in Part 3, as Daniel experiences Japan's most premium sports car offering: the Lexus LC500 Convertible.
