Parting is such bittersweet sorrow and that is the feeling I got when I decided to say goodbye to my 20-year-old Proton Waja. The Arctic Blue sedan has seen its fair share of scrapes, bumps, wears, tears, as well as numerous headlights and door handles replaced but after serving me and my family for around 360,000 km, we had to move on.

However, recent reports have speculated that the 1.2-litre engine could be replaced for the next gen

Thailand will be first country in Southeast Asia to launch the Toyota GR Corolla, at next month’s Thailand International Motor Expo, which will open on 30-November. Rumour has it that Toyota's Subaru WRX-driving President Akio ‘Morizo’ Toyoda - w

In an alternate universe, Proton is quite successful in Europe and the Proton Satria Cabriolet is a real topless Malaysian cult hero. Sadly, we have yet to meet this parallel world and in our reality, the Satria Cabriolet remains a novel concept that was kept away from Proton for around two decades. That is until news broke in 2020 that saw Proton auctioning off some of its historic possessions including a few rally cars, a Satria GTi that was powered by a Petronas-developed engine, and a couple
