On shelves now: Wheels December 2022 issue

How do we even start with this one? We've basically rounded up all of the cars that have got us juiced in anticipation and give you the low down on each and every one.

And because we're a broad church here at Wheels, that list covers everything from the modest MG4 to the phenomenal (and phenomenally controversial) Ferrari Purosangue.

Between those points, there's the Ford F-150, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N, the GWM Ora Cat, The Mustang Mach E, the BMW M2, the 911 GT3 RS and the hot version of our current Car of the Year, the Kia EV6 GT. If it's arriving in 2023 and it's worth waiting for, we've got you covered.

And like a mid-afternoon TV ad selling suspiciously affordable cookware, there's more!

We put Johnny Law behind the wheel of the the Toyota Corolla Cross to find out whether the high 'Rolla is more diverting than a Mazda CX-30, a VW T-Roc or a Hyundai Kona and get his read on whether you should just stop being a tightwad and keep saving for a RAV4 instead.

Daniel Gardner doesn't share a lot in common with Joe Biden apart from a penchant for stonewashed denim, but both of 'em have driven the Ford F-150 Lightning. Sleepy Joe couldn't get his words in for deadline, so we blew him off and you'll have to settle for Gardner's opinion on the big electric ute.

Should you prefer your Ford pick-ups with a bit more suck,squeeze, bang and blow about 'em, Cameron Kirby's taken the Ranger Raptor to one of Victoria's remotest and not to mention filthiest spots. We knew the Raptor was good on a manicured red dirt launch venue, but what's it like in the real world? Find out here.

2022's oddest entrant in the medium SUV sector could well be the BYD Atto 3, and we mean weird in a good way. Dylan Campbell puts it head to head with the MG ZS EV in a budget SUV face off. We've also got hybrid versions of the Toyota Kluger and Kia Sorento in an intriguing twin test.

The lowdown on the Toyota GR86, a trip to Korea to drive Hyundai's 605Nm Ioniq 6 streamliner, BMW's pert iX1 compact SUV, why Dacias are on their way to Australia badged as Renaults, how Volkswagen overcame Dieselgate down under and our usual round up of long termers, a deep draft at the Databank well, thought-provoking opinion, reader feedback and you even get to learn a bit about MariaTeresa de Filippis. Me neither. Every day's an education here.

There actually is more, but we're only charging you $12.95 for the privilege and if we keep going it'll sound immodest.

So set aside some you time and get into it. It's on shelves now. Cheers!
