Decked in iconic Castrol colours, this 1998 JGTC Toyota Supra is undoubtedly one of the more iconic cars of our generation. If you’re anything like me and have spent some years playing Gran Turismo on the PlayStation, then you probably know this car. Like the ousted hero in action novels, it went missing for a while before turning up in least expected places - in this case, under a tarp in a Japanese warehouse. Nobody knows who put it there when, but it being found is good news. What’s bad news

Nissan Thailand has just introduced the all-new 2020 Nissan Almera in the Kingdom, roughly 7 months after the model made a global debut in North America. Starting from the exterior, it gets the company’s latest V-Motion front grille and a semi-floating C-pillar, inspired by the larger Altima (Teana to us).
