CarAdvice podcast 139: Platform sharing explained

On this week's podcast, you're joined by Mandy Turner, Paul Maric, and Mike Costello.

The team answer Gavin's question about what a platform actually is, and why brands share them.

In car news, the Hyundai i30N Fastback will be debuting in Australia in March or April, and the 2020 Mazda CX-6 (or could it be a CX-3?) SUV has been previewed.

Plus, the 2020 Volkswagen Passat facelift and 2019 Range Rover Velar SVAutobiography Dynamic Edition have been revealed, along with preliminary specs for the 2019 Toyota RAV4.

Mike discusses Januarys VFACTS in what is a slow start for 2019.

Rob Margeit interviews Mark Webber on location at the Bathurst 12 Hour.

We speak to Yan Van De Velde, Founder of Wrong Fuel Rescue, about what happens to a car when it is mis-fuelled.

We chat to Todd about his 2018 Volvo XC90 D5 Inscription owner review.
