Long waiting period of more than 3 months for popular new car models has become the norm since the Covid-19 pandemic started in 2020. Shortage in labour and supply of semiconductor parts post-pandemic, along with unstable logistics, make it difficult to predict when will this problem go away. We’ve already compiled the waiting period for Perodua models here. Now it’s Proton’s turn. The short answer is between 1 to 5 months, which is a lot shorter than Perodua’s 6.5 to 9.5 months for a Perodua Be

UMW Toyota Motor has reclaimed its position as the number one non-national car manufacturer in Malaysia after six years – a position that it lost to Honda in 2015. In 2021, Toyota sold a total of 72,394 units, breaking their 2020’s record of 59,320 by 22 percent, with December recording a growth of 0.5 percent with 9,289 units sold. Month-on-month, Toyota surpassed the 8,487 sales volume for November by 9%. That said, neither Honda Malaysia nor the Malaysia Automotive Association (MAA) have yet

Ever since the first locally-assembled (CKD) Honda model (which was a second-gen Honda CR-V) rolled off Honda Malaysia’s plant in Alor Gajah, Melaka in 2003, it took nearly a decade to produce one million cars. In celebration of that milestone, Honda Malaysia has produced 7 one-of-a-kind "1 Million Edition" models, each representing a Honda model that is currently on sale. You can stand to drive home one of these 7 special models in their 1 Million Dreams Campaign. We’ll go into the details of t

Upon the debut of the 2021 Honda City Hatchback, some have said it looks like the Mercedes A-Class, while some say it looks like the BMW 1 series. The Thailand Honda City Hatchback gets a 1.0-litre turbo engine that makes 122 PS and 173 Nm. While waiting for the Honda City Hatchback to reach Malaysia, we decided to have some fun with images of the car. We coloured City Hatchback in Spoon Livery. The original idea for putting a Spoon livery on the Honda City (sedan) was shared by The Ajerul on hi

Recently, images of the production version of the Geely Preface have surfaced, hinting at what could be the next Proton Perdana/Preve. Much of the production version of the Geely Preface is carried over from the concept version that was shown back in 2019, including the revised front grille with vertical slats, aggressive front bumper, and sleek rear-end. That said, features like the slim side mirrors and suicide doors remain as concept-only features. Built on the CMA platform, the Geely Preface

The Perodua Alza is a 7-seater MPV that was introduced here back in 2009, which makes it one of the oldest new cars you can purchase today. Despite being 11 years old, Perodua won’t be pulling the plug on the Alza just yet, as the company recently reiterated that it won’t be discontinued any time soon. Developing a brand-new Alza isn’t Perodua’s top priority at the moment, as the MPV market is slowing down and Perodua's main focus is SUVs. The Alza has also been Perodua’s slowest-selling model,
