A BATTLE HARDENED VETERAN: Rugged off-road running is what the Jeep Wrangler is all about.

Jeep Wrangler 75th anniversary By EWAN KENNEDY The mud part of the look is by way of dark bronze wheels, roof rails, grilles, and the foglight and taillight surrounds. Bronze ’75 Years 1941’ badges mark the occasion. Clever, almost hidden, touches include a tiny black Jeep in profile on the lower-right corner of the inside of the windscreen, and a similar frontal grilleand-headlight in black under the interior mirror. There are more of these neat touches, why not wander down to your local Jeep dealer and check for yourself. The seats have a debossed (the

opposite of embossed) 75th Anniversary logo and are trimmed in a black and vinyl combo. Again there are bronze details. Overall, the 75th theme works well and grabbed plenty of comments from people who saw it. Interestingly, not just from Jeep enthusiasts, but from people who just like something out of the ordinary. Our test Wrangler was powered by a 3.6-litre V6 petrol engine. Introduced in 2012, this modern twincam unit puts out 209 kW of power, with 347 Nm to torque. Torque comes on strong from just 1800 revs, so provides diesel-like grunt that’s

perfect for off-road driving. A five-speed automatic transmission is likely to be the biggest seller and though it seems to be cheating in some ways to drive a tough 4WD with a self-shifter there’s no doubt it’s simpler to drive in the tough on-road conditions that are likely to be the playground of the typical Wrangler. As part of the 75th Anniversary celebrations Jeep took us to the Parachilna area of the Flinders Ranges a few months back. There we played on claypans and sand dunes, as well as traversing rugged offroad sections that may never have felt tyres before. Great fun.

JEEP Wrangler is a descendant of the World War II Jeep, which has been referred to as “the car that won a war”. That versatile little 1941 4WD played a major part in communications and the movement of the men and equipment on all fronts during that horrible period. Jeep has introduced a 75th anniversary version of the Wrangler to celebrate that original military Jeep. Renegade, Cherokee and Grand Cherokee have also been built, but our road test vehicle this week is the Wrangler – the roughest, toughest Jeep of them all. The 75th Anniversary Wrangler has a ‘military-green-and-mud’ look.

PIONEER: Nobuhiro Yamamoto, the program manager of the ND series Mazda MX-5 third from the left, with Ewan Kennedy standing to his right.

History lesson from By EWAN KENNEDY

Mazda MX-5

I GOT chatting to Nobuhiro Yamamoto, the program manager of the ND series Mazda MX-5 recently and discovered we share a lot of timeline history. We both began in the automotive industry within months of one another in 1973, he as an engineer with the Mazda rotary engine research department, me in the technical section of the NRMA. Keen on motor racing, Nobuhiro-san moved on to the Mazda RX-7 racing team in 1976 working as an engineer on cars that competed in major events, including Daytona, Spa and Le Mans. A few months later, working as a wouldbe freelance motoring journo, I had my first every car feature published, in Modern Motor magazine. The year 1984 was a big one for us both; Nobuhiro-san began work on the famed four-rotor Wankel 26B racing engine that powered the Mazda 787 Group C racing cars. I joined Modern Motor mag full time as technical editor. In 1990 Mazda entered the Le Mans 24hour, the greatest endurance car race on the planet. At only its second attempt the Mazda 787B took the outright win in the 1991 Le Mans. The day after the historic 1991 victory I was at a Mazda car launch somewhere in Australia. I can’t remember where, or what the car was – but most definitely recall the amount of saki and whisky consumed with delirious toasts that went on for most of the night. In 1995 Nobuhiro-san moved to the Mazda MX-5 team, as deputy program manager for the NB and NC series. Finally, in 2007 to head up the ND series MX-5 as program manager. He retired in July this year and was immediately appointed as Ambassador for all MX-5s. As part of his tour he was in Australia

A CLASSIC SPORTSCAR: Sampling the handling delights of Mazda MX-5s through the years. to host a day when all four MX-5 models were made available for journos to drive at the TAFE Motorsports Training facility in Wodonga, Victoria. Mazda MX-5 NA Series 1989 - 1997 Engine: 1.6-litre 85 kW. My first drive at Wodonga was in an NA from Mazda Australia’s museum. It was pretty tired in the engine department, the little 1.6- litre engine having covered just 50 kilometres in the last 15 years. A strip down and overhaul is in the offing. The chassis dynamics still worked beautifully and the lightweight Japanese roadster was beautifully balanced. While the engine wasn’t happy revving, the gearbox worked smoothly and precisely and the brakes hauled off speed with ease. A delight to drive and it brought back more memories, this time of driving an MX-5 at high speed around the Calder Park Thunderdome. Great fun – until the marshals got excited and read me the riot act. Oh, and I love the pop-up headlights, though it’s unlikely we will ever see them

on an MX-5 again. Mazda MX-5 NB Series 1997 - 2005 Engine: 1.8-litre 106 kW. While the other MX-5s on the test day were standard models the NB was the MX-5 SP, a turbocharged special edition that was developed in Australia by the legendary Mazda Motorsport man, Allan Horsely. Instead of the standard 106 kW it produced 157 kW, with 289 Nm of torque. Naturally it was quick in a straight line on the Wodonga circuit, 6.0 seconds to 100 km/h, very impressive for its time. But the MX-5 has never been a big power machine, instead relying on its throttle response and chassis dynamics to please keen drivers. There was some turbo lag in the hot little SP, but we had felt a lot worse way back then. Mazda MX-5 NC Series 1997 - 2015 Engine 2.0-litre 118 kW. What really fascinated me was that the NC was even better than the NA and NB in the way it handled, crisp and instinctive with excellent feedback through the steering and the seat of the pants. Just when you thought something

couldn’t be improved on … it was. Performance comparisons are impossible due to test NA being down on power and the NB being a hotshot Horsley special. But the NC was good without being anything special in a straight line. It still felt taut, which shows why so many buyers of all models of the MX-5 series are bought as used cars. Mazda MX-5 ND Series 2015 Engine 1.5 or 2.0-litre, 96 or 118 kW Wow, what a difference. While the NB and NC were significant improvements on the original, the ND MX-5 had all the hallmarks of a car designed almost totally from scratch. Nobuhiro-san was the program chief by this time and obviously put his heart and soul into every aspect of the car. My first drive was of the 1.5-litre engine, a powerplant I’ve never been able to try on a closed road. Having a clear road and using the engine in the higher ranges of the rev band was great fun. I’ve previously said my preferred MX-5 engine would be the 2.0-litre I’ve changed my mind - that is if I was going to be using an MX-5 at track days, not trundling around town at low speeds, where the extra grunt of the bigger engine is useful. Note: We have only covered the general Mazda MX-5 histories here, there’s simply not enough space to detail midlife changes and special editions. The Motoring World Should Thank Mazda It’s no wonder that the rest of the world’s carmakers took a close look at the Mazda MX-5 open sportscar in 1989 – then decided to build one themselves. Naysayers had pronounced convertibles dead during the 1970s, saying they could never be safe. Mazda proved them wrong and has now built over a million MX-5s. Buyers of open-top cars everywhere are still smiling.

Camry upgraded with satellite navigation now standard on Atara S

TOYOTA has boosted the specification of its segment-leading Camry sedan, with satellite navigation now standard on the Atara S and optionally available on the volume-selling Altise. The satellite navigation system (with SUNA real time traffic updates) brings with it a seven-inch touchscreen interface, six-speaker Digital Audio (DAB+), and voice recognition functionality. Offered as a $700 option on the Altise, the upgrade means satellite navigation is available on all Camry and Camry Hybrid models. In May this year Camry was updated with a range of improvements, including ISOFIX attachment points for child safety seats in the rear, and higher Euro 5 standard certification for Camry petrol and petrol-electric engines. Model-specific upgrades included front and rear corner parking sensors as standard on all Atara variants, cosmetic enhancements for the sporty Atara SX and a wireless phone charger in the range-topping Atara SL. Toyota Australia executive director sales and marketing Tony Cramb said the latest additions further enhance Camryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appeal in the hotly-contested mid-size segment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Camry has been Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preferred mid-size vehicle for more than two

decades. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a family favourite that also offers clear bottom-line benefits for business owners,â&#x20AC;? Mr Cramb said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This upgrade reflects Toyotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to continuous and ongoing improvement of Camryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s design, quality and specification,â&#x20AC;? he said. Toyota Camry Every Camry has a five-star safety rating with standard fitment of seven airbags, reversing camera, vehicle stability and traction control, and anti-skid brakes with brake assist and electronic brake-force distribution. Camry Altise, Atara S and Atara SL are available with 2.5-litre fourcylinder petrol or hybrid petrol-electric drivetrains. The petrol-only Atara SX is the most agile and responsive Camry ever built due to its dynamic package that was conceived and developed locally. The 2.5-litre petrol engine develops 133kW mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. Dual exhausts on petrol Atara models lift output to 135kW. Fuel use is 7.9 litres/100km. Hybrid variants develop a maximum 151kW from the combination of the petrol engine, 105kW electric drive motor and electronic continuously variable transmission, sipping just 5.2 litres/100km - a figure typical of a much smaller and less powerful car.
