In a surprise turn of events, Dinamikjaya Motors has just confirmed that a locally-assembled three-row seat variant of the 2022 Kia Carnival will be making its Malaysian debut at this weekend’s WapCar Auto Show at Pavilion Bukit Jalil.

If you like big posh cats, then the news from around the world isn’t very encouraging.

The Nissan Z Proto has won itself many fans and the change in narrative is nice for a company that has been dragged through the mud by the legal tussle involving ex-CEO Carlos Ghosn.
