2018 Maserati Quattroporte S Engine Specs

Last week, we showed you ten expensive-looking cars under RM 100k and some of you think those selections don’t quite shout ‘appearing rich’. Indeed, the Proton X50 and X70 may feel expensive but they’re still a Proton (or Geely) underneath. For this week’s Top Rank Millionaire-Looking Motors (MLM), we’re bumping up the budget to RM 200,000 and unlike the last list, we’ll be focusing only in the used car market. We’ve selected 8 for this list and you can be certain these fine cars will make you g

Jakarta is rated as one of the most polluted cities in Southeast Asia. One way to improve the air quality in Indonesia’s capital is to impose higher parking rates for vehicles that do not meet emission test standards. According to OtoDriver, there are 131 parking lots operated by the Jakarta Provincial Government that are currently implementing an integrated parking system with emission testing. This policy is in line with a regulation that emphasises vehicles which did not pass the emission tes

The Proton Exora dominated the market with its sheer space, abundant features, and affordable price.

However, few buyers understand the importance of more fundamental safety features like seatbelt pre-tensioners and load limiters. This lack of a

Car awards season is upon us as the year draws to a close, and as sure as taxes, the Honda Civic emerges as a winner.

Dethroning the Toyota Prius which was last year's winner in the same category, the American publication highlighted the base Civic's "confident handling and thoughtfully designed interior," but the clincher comes from the addition of its 2.0-litre hybrid
