The updated 2018 Ford Mustang is almost upon us, with a droopier front-end and a radical list of mechanical updates. That’s not to say the existing Mustang is to be scoffed at. While it may not have topped many categories in our exclusive muscle-car comparo, we contend that it is still a great daily-driver, as we found out when we drove the GT California Special earlier this year, both in coupe and convertible forms.
Another model is joining the Chery Tiggo 5 crossover in the UAE with the launch of the 2018 Tiggo 7 by Al Habtoor Motors.
If you roam around enthusiast circles, you will consistently hear just one thing — “It’s much cheaper to buy car parts online than at the dealer!” And for the most part, it’s true. But is it universally true though? We find out with our aging Jaguar XK, which had a minor issue recently.

The UAE dealer for Toyota, Al-Futtaim Motors, will now offer the 2018 Camry Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) for sale to the general public. Previous hybrid versions were only sold to taxi fleets in Dubai. Displayed at the 2017 Dubai Motor Show, the 2018 hybrid was the only variant of the all-new redesigned Camry to be revealed in the UAE so far.
Among all the “sustainable mobility” cars exclusively displayed at the Toyota stand in the 2017 Dubai Motor Show, the UAE dealer snuck in the redone 2018 Toyota Yaris hatchback alongside hybrids and fuel-cell cars.
GMC dug up the Desert Fox nameplate from the 70s for the 2017 Dubai International Motor Show to inspire the unique Desert Fox Middle East Concept Truck. Displayed alongside an original example of this special edition from 1977, the new concept is a more beefed-up version of the 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 crew-cab pickup.
Car insurance clearly doesn’t come cheap in the UAE, especially after the recent change in the rules, but it’s interesting to look at the figures for annually insuring a supercar.
