T The Cupra Ateca will soon land in Australia along with two other models to kick off the launch of the Spanish VW brand. Awareness is going to be the name of the game, which is why I found myself in the Ateca SUV on a recent holiday trip to the UK. Our British press car is the VZ3, which has almost the same specifications as the single Ateca ‘VZx’ variant offered here. Priced at $65,990 driveaway ($60,990 RRP), the Cupra Ateca costs a little more than Volkswagen’s close relative, the T-Roc R due later this year for $59,300 before on-road costs. EDITOR’S NOTE: The photos in this story are a mix of Jez’s own shots, and a selection of press shots of the latest Limited Edition models offered in the UK. 43 The two share the production of the 2.0 liter ‘EA888’ four-cylinder turbo 221kW and 400Nm plus a seven-speed automatic clutch and all-wheel drive. The Ateca has the most conservative form in the Cupra lineup, with Copper alloy wheels doing a tough yard to create so

Hi, over there. It’s Monday, July 18th and you’re reading The Loop, today’s news summary. Brisbane-based banking and insurance company Suncorp has accepted ANZ’s $4.9 billion offer to take over its banking operations — but the deal will take at least 12 months before the deal is finalized, and has several hurdles to work through in the meantime. ANZ is now tasked with raising an additional $3.5 billion in funds to pay for the deal, and will need approval from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) and Federal Treasurer Jim Chalmers. Queensland State Financial Institutions and the Metway Incorporation laws also need to be amended for the takeover to proceed. Provided the deal gets the green light, it would make ANZ Australia’s third-largest bank for home loans, according to analysis from RateCity (using APRA data). The next step is for ANZ to submit a merger authorization application to the ACCC, which is expected to be received by the regulatory body next month. The

They’ve punched Darcy Swain in the face and pulled her hair, slapped Michael Hooper during trial celebrations and pinned Nic White’s head to the loop with an elbow to the throat, but England have claimed high moral ground as niggle-gate dominated leading up to Saturday’s decider test in Sydney. While White said he was surprised by the level of sloppiness in the series, he was ridiculed by Eddie Jones, England assistant coach Richard Cockeril, saying that Wallabi’s focus on England’s dark arts raised questions about rugby in Australia. Cockerill admits “Ellis [Genge] last week may have crossed the line” in his showdown with White in Brisbane, but added that the England coach didn’t want to “hold the players back either.” “I keep hearing about the distractions England are bringing. I don’t know how Australian rugby is, but I don’t see it as a hassle,” said Cockerill. “It’s been pretty tame so far. We will continue the game. Good set piece, we’ll make some tough tackles, we’ll clear up

Among all the comments that came out of the Wallabies after their second Test loss in Brisbane last weekend – they missed crashes, too many self-plagued, misguided lineouts – there was one key underlying message. Key points: Australia lost the second Test in Brisbane due to their inability to close the game Improving their discipline will be crucial because of England captain Owen Farrell’s goal kicking prowess The return of Queensland striker Harry Wilson should give the Wallabies an extra dimension of attack Australia just didn’t have enough patience to last longer than a dodgy England side who, through Owen Farrell’s boot, only managed to stay ahead the entire game. As a result, when they returned in the first game of a draw in Perth, they couldn’t be in Brisbane — all because of their own faults they made in the face of relentless pressure from an England team desperate to break records. losing four times in a row. There’s not even a pattern to it. It started with a toppled lineo

Sir Mohamed Farah – Britain’s most successful runner – has revealed he was a victim of illegal trafficking when he was a child. Key points: Farah was brought to England illegally by a woman she had never met when she was nine years old Olympians are forced to do housework and childcare and are not allowed to attend school for three years Since becoming a British citizen, Farah has become the country’s most successful male long-distance runner In a documentary called “The Real Mo Farah” to be shown on the BBC this week, Farah says she was flown to England from Djibouti at the age of nine by a woman she had never met, was given a new name, and then forced to look after her. other family children. “The truth is, I’m not what you think I am,” he said. The long-distance runner has previously said he came to Britain from Somalia with his parents as refugees. “The real story is that I was born in Somaliland, north of Somalia, as Hussein Abdi Kahin. “Despite what I have said in the past, my pa

England coach Eddie Jones said rugby’s use of red and yellow cards was “out of control” and the referee would be the most important player when the top teams meet at next year’s World Cup. Key points: Eddie Jones and Dave Rennie were both displeased with the rules mandating a yellow card for an accidental knock-on while trying to intercept Jones says Marcus Smith and Owen Farrell combination is “well developed” Rennie says the Wallabies’ depth will be tested, especially in the locks, as the injury list increases Speaking after his England side recorded a 25-17 win over the Wallabies at Lang Park on Saturday, Jones criticized the number of cards issued in the game, including for deliberate and controversial knock-ons. “I think the game has gotten out of hand,” he said. “We saw in the New Zealand-Ireland Test, at one stage the commentators couldn’t count how many players were on the pitch. Serious. They have three backs that pack scrum. “We’ve been full-fledged hogs, where everything i

England were back on level terms in a three-Test series against Australia but the charge for the Wallabies was significantly greater than the 25-17 reverse in the second Test at a hectic Suncorp Stadium. The Wallabies’ rankings are thin ahead of a decider in Sydney next week. Australia lost Izzy Perese and Cadeyrn Neville to potentially serious knee injuries, while Jordan Perese, playing at full-back for the first time for the Wallabies, lasted only a few minutes before he was forced off and is likely to miss next week with a concussion. protocol. And substitute Scott Sio added to the carnage that followed moments after coming on with a shoulder injury. If that wasn’t bad enough – with the Wallabies missing Tom Banks to a broken arm in the win a week earlier – his replacement Andrew Kellaway revealed at half-time that he would be out for eight weeks with a hamstring injury sustained in training on Tuesday. . “I feel for those people,” said Samu Kerevi. “They work very hard. And we
