Not content with just being a standard but comfortable hybrid hatchback, the all-new second-generation Toyota Aqua, which is the JDM name for the Prius C that was once sold in Malaysia, has been given the Gazoo Racing (GR) treatment. Just launched in Japan, the second-gen Aqua GR Sport (GR-S) balances the comfort of a TNGA-based hybrid car with the famed performance elements of Toyota Gazoo Racing (TGR). Hence, the Aqua GR-S is the sixth GR-S model currently sold in Japan following the Yaris Cro

As Malaysia’s No.1 selling car brand, it is easy to assume that Perodua is all about numbers, Ringgits and sense. While that is still true to a certain extent - because Perodua certainly didn’t become No.1 by pandering to frivolous demands - this one-dimensional view of Perodua as a giant monolith of an organization that only cares about achieving the highest sales numbers is wrong. For outsiders, it is easier to understand Perodua as a rationale, logic-driven organization that marches its staff

Toyota's vice grip on the Japanese car market remains as tight as ever, as latest data released by the Japan Automobile Dealers' Association (JADA) shows the manufacturer occupying the top 6 sales figures from January to June 2021.

In Malaysia, B-segment sedans remain a staple for parents wanting to buy their kids a first car, or just someone seeking a reliable, headache-free daily companion. When this segment came about, its occupants were just simple machines with no fancy gadgetry or technolgy. How times have changed. Now, B-sedans come chock-full with ADAS, plush interiors, and even new forms of propulsion. B-segment sedans are now genuinely good cars, instead of something purchased out of utility. But below RM 100,000

Within Toyota’s model line-up for Japan, the two B-segment Toyota Yaris Cross and Toyota Raize (twin of Daihatsu Rocky, donor car to our upcoming Perodua D55L) sit in a somewhat overlapping position. Both B-segment SUVs are priced quite closed together and are chasing more or less the group of customers, but such is the nature of Japan’s saturated car market. Also, the booming SUV market demands for greater choices. Better to lose sales to your own models than to a competitor’s. The Toyota Yaris

Just weeks after Go Auto announced that it is delivering 425 units of Toyota Corolla Altis 1.8E to the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) to replace the aging Proton Waja and Wira models, we can now confirm that PDRM has also placed orders for a fleet of Honda Civic (FC generation). Details on the value and total units to be delivered are still sketchy but based on photos circulated by the Facebook group 改装无罪, all units are of the entry Honda Civic 1.8S variant. The Honda Civic selected is the recent
