Indonesia’s de facto national car, the Toyota Innova has been crowned the country’s best-selling car of 2023 with 66,459 units sold according to Gaikindo’s sales report.

But before you get confused, keep in mind that Toyota has two GR badges - GR for performance-oriented models and GR Sport is for cars with slight chassis upgrades but with limited-to-no-ch

As much as enthusiasts such as myself lament the inevitable demise of manual transmissions (MT), there is simply no business case for manufacturers to continue offering a manual option. Instead, dual-clutch transmissions (DCT) or traditional automatic transmissions (AT) are taking over their place.
