The local car and bike scene is looking busy again, with several new attractions and upcoming events. Here’s what’s on, and with verdicts on each.

Now

New Volkswagen showroom, Gloucester Road

The Volkswagen Hong Kong Centre has relocated to Harcourt House, on Gloucester Road. It seems a smart retailing strategy because the marque can now display seven cars to passing commuters on Hong Kong Island, just as rival showrooms have relocated to “distant” Kowloon Bay. The local Volkswagen people are also among the best showroon-English-speakers in town, along with counterparts representing Mercedes-Benz, Mazda and Volvo. Look out for the new Polo Sport Edition (from HK$159,980) and Passat Luxury (HK$299,980) alongside the Tiguan2 R-Line, Touran R-Line and the racy Golf R.
