The new 2021 Mercedes-Benz E-Class is the latest in the long line of prestigious business sedans bearing the three-pointed star.

Mercedes-Benz Malaysia (MBM) confirms that the Mercedes-Benz C200 (W205) has been sold out here, leaving the C300 AMG Line as the sole W205 variant still on sale. This comes ahead of the introduction of the all-new 2022 W206 Mercedes-Benz C-Class in Malaysia, but an official timeline for when the new model will arrive hasn't been shared yet. Upon introduction, prices of the new-generation C-Class will be dearer than its predecessor, owing to its fully-imported (CBU) status. Local assembly (CKD)

Leaked images of the all-new 2021 Subaru BRZ have surfaced ahead of its global debut, which will be happening a little later.

A 6-speed manual will be featured along with a possibly new 8-speed aut

Come 15-June, all locally-assembled (CKD) passenger cars will be granted full exemption from the 10 percent sales tax. The keyword here is passenger cars. So although the Toyota Hilux and Isuzu D-Max are locally-assembled, both models will continue to be taxed at the current 10 percent rate because pick-up trucks are classified as commercial vehicles (though private registrations are allowed). The Toyota Hilux is assembled at UMW Toyota Motor’s Assembly Services Sdn. Bhd.’s manufacturing subsidi
