In yet another exclusive scoop, the April issue of CAR magazine tests the new generation of SA's favourite SUV, the Toyota Fortuner. There are also first drives of the new tech-laden Mercedes-Benz E Class, the tyre-smoking little BMW M2, and we take the new Porsche 911 GT3 RS to meet its spiritual ancestor, the legendary 911 2,7 RS. Plus we put the BMW 740i, Lexus RX450h and Toyota RAV4 through our stringent road tests.
