JD Power recently released its 2023 U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study (VDS), which showed that vehicle reliability has increased with an industry average of 186 problems per 100 (PP100) vehicles, an improvement of 6 PP100 from 2022. For context, a lower PP100 score is better. Even premium marques scored an improvement, lowering their score by 23 PP100. Vehicles from the 2020 model year were the focus of this study. Unsurprisingly, Lexus took the top spot of dependability in the premium brands seg

It’s race weekend again and the Idemitsu 25 Hours Super Endurance race is happening at the Chang International Circuit in Buriram, Thailand. Today is the qualifying round, with actual race days set to happen over this weekend (17- to 18-December). In addition to the usual race-prepped Toyota Corolla Altis and Toyota Vios, the list of participants include two cars that stand out: a Toyota GR Corolla bearing #232 and a Toyota GR86 with #328. One of the drivers for #232 is Akio Toyoda (Morizo), whi

One must wonder if BMW has foregone designing their cars to look good and have simply started using rulers. Leaked images shared on Valve and Piston's Instagram page of the upcoming G87 2023 BMW M2 certainly suggest the latter. But squint your eyes just a little bit and tell me if you see a boxy mess or design imprints of the Godlike BMW E30 M3.

Following news that the 2022 Subaru BRZ will not only make it to Malaysia, but also priced rather attractively at RM 229k to RM 239k (depending on transmission choices), the first question on everyone's lips is: Will the 2022 Toyota GR86 follow suit, and be as attractively priced? 2.4-litre boxer engine more powerful (235 PS, 250 Nm), manual and automatic options GR86 tuned to be more "sharp and spicy." BRZ flavour is "sweet and rich in taste." Which leads us neatly into the next question: What

2020 is quite a challenging year but as the saying goes, the show must go on. And went on it did as Malaysia saw around 80 models launched this year. Despite movement restrictions for almost the whole year, that is still an impressive number all things considered. But while we have a list featuring 15 of the most important cars of the year, this time, we’re going to focus on most expensive cars that were launched in 2020. We’ll focus on 10 and some might have been sold out by the time you finish

A common complaint for the Toyota 86/Subaru BRZ, or some call them the Toyobaru, is that it lacks power. This is a rather controversial topic because some are adamant that it isn’t about the straight-line performance, it’s all about the fun, twisty bits. However, it seems feedback from both sides have been taken into consideration. According to Best Car, the next generation Toyota 86 and Subaru BRZ will use a larger, 2.4-litre naturally aspirated flat-four engine that makes 220 PS and 240 Nm of
