First launched in 2007, the first-generation Proton Persona (CM) marked a return to form for Proton in delivering a value-for-money family sedan for the masses that was robust, comfortable and practical too. Billed as the car Proton built for customers after listening to what they wanted, and not what 'management' thought was right – a case in point was the lacklustre Gen 2 – the CM Persona was the direct replacement to the popular Proton Wira but made better in every way. However, despite its p

It took Toyota (and Subaru) nearly ten years between the launch of the first-generation 86/BRZ and its successor but according to rumours from Japanese media, the third generation could be launched much sooner.

However, in the past year, Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia has decided to spice things up in this market space with a truly unique offering, the Mitsubishi Xpander.
