- 2009, Annabel Crabb, “Stop at Nothing: The Life and Adventures of Malcolm Turnbull”, in Quarterly Essay, number 34, page 15:
  It's an excellent story. Turnbull is telling it in a Comcar, which is driving us from Launceston (where he addressed a Jobs Forum) to Hobart (where he is due to address a dinner).
- 2013, Marian Sawer, Gianni Zappalà, “Introduction: Representation in Australian Politics”, in Speaking For The People:
  The role played by political families in the party, and the inheriting of front-bench seats, has led to gibes that the best way to get ahead in the party is to 'get born in the back of a Comcar'.

Formally, COMCAR (as it is properly written) refers to the service that provides these cars and drivers.
