Plastics are everywhere around us. From the containers we use to pack lunches to even the air we breathe the electronic device you’re reading this article on. It’s also in cars and the average vehicle has 30,000 parts. Out of those, one-third or 10,000 of those parts are made of plastic so even if the material is hazardous to the environment, we’re very much reliant on it. Mazda though has a solution for a more environmentally friendly plastic and it has been developing it for years before carbo

The poster child of EVs, Tesla is getting ready to make its official debut in Thailand in December 2022 according to a teaser on social media. This would make the Kingdom the second market in Southeast Asia after Singapore to officially offer Elon Musk’s automotive child. Interestingly, the post was uploaded on the Siam Paragon Facebook page and there is no official Tesla Thailand Facebook nor website. The post did mention the official Line page which only led us to an account with a profile pho

There is a quote that says progress is made only when progress can be measured – progress requires looking back, making changes, and then measuring how far we’ve come. Thus, to review the all-new Honda 2022 City Hatchback (HB), we must look to its immediate forebear, the (GK-generation) Honda Jazz, and in doing that, lies the quagmire. Don’t get me wrong, the all-new Honda City Hatchback is a brilliant product – it’s superbly designed, very practical, and perfectly pitched to draw a new generati

Talk about a Honda-heavy week, as just one day after we welcomed the all-new 2022 Honda Civic (FE) on our shores, our Singaporean neighbours have opened registration of interest for the all-new 2022 Honda HR-V. The model's launch on the island takes place next week, on Friday, 21-January 2022. It'll be a virtual launch. Exact specifications are still cloudy, but we know the name of the three variants making it there: the 1.5 DX and 1.5 LX, as well as the hybrid 1.5 e:HEV. Registration of interes

Besides the Perodua Ativa, there's another model that vies for the title of Malaysia's most talked-about local car this year - and that's the 2022 Proton Iriz Active. For good reason too. It was first conceptualised way back in 2014, and it's only made production 7 years later. Fast forward to 2021, and this Active variant is the range-topper of the updated Iriz lineup, which was launched alongside the facelifted 2022 Proton Persona. Changes for both models are beyond skin-deep, and as such this

Back in 2016, the Toyota Hilux made headlines when it tipped on two wheels while undergoing a so-called ‘moose test’ conducted by Swedish automotive media Teknikens Varld. This is the second time the Toyota Hilux has failed the test, as the previous generation Toyota Hilux also had the same problem. In September 2019, Teknikens Varld repeated the same test with the latest Toyota RAV4, and the results weren’t very good either. So what’s wrong with Toyota cars? But first, what is a moose test? Swe
