Why do people aspire to own a Mercedes-Benz, or a BMW? As a kid, I always marvelled when I saw a household with a Mercedes or BMW in the garage. When I asked my dad, why he bought a W201 Mercedes 190E, he told me, Mercedeses represented premium luxury, advanced engineering and peerless build quality. The 190E was, at that time, the entry point for Mercedes ownership. BMW is no stranger to this concept as well, its 3 Series lineage being the entry point for anyone aspiring to get a slice of premi

Toyota Gazoo Racing has announced that they will be reproducing additional spare parts for the A70 and A80 Toyota Supra under the GR Heritage Parts Project. This time around, Toyota is adding a bunch of brake- and air-conditioning-related parts to the catalogue. But that’s not all, as owners of the A70 Supra can also get a reproduced Supra emblem, while A80 Supra owners can even get a brand-new front bumper.

Far from dropping to the low RM 100k range (which I expected years earlier), prices of reconditioned Toyota 86s and Subaru BRZs have stayed robust and

The next-generation Toyota 86/Subaru BRZ is expected to be introduced some time in 2021, whereby the Toyobaru duo, as some call them, will be overhauled. First up is the new design – some well-known Japanese outlets have begun rendering the all-new Toyota 86/Subaru BRZ, giving us a speculative look at the new rear-wheel drive coupe. The rendered 86/BRZ gets a sharper-looking front-end with a pair of headlights that extend upwards. On the current Toyobaru duo, the headlights are horizontal. The r

Making its first debut as a production car in 2017, the Lexus LC 500 is Lexus’s idea of what a grand tourer should be. The “LC” itself stands for Luxury Coupe. The year 2020 sees a huge number of enhancements on the LC 500 in terms of safety, luxury, and performance. Inside the luxurious cockpit, one sits behind a 5.0 litre V8 by Lexus (2UR-GSE) producing 470 horsepower and 540 Nm of torque. Weighing just under two tonnes, this luxury grand tourer is rather quick with a 4.4 seconds 0-100km/h tim

UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT), distributor of Toyota and Lexus in Malaysia has issued a recall to replace the fuel pump units on selected models. Affected vehicles equipped with said fuel pump may stop operating, where warning lights and messages will appear on the instrumental panel, engine power drops, stalling and end up being unable to start.
