A few years back the Honda Jazz plied its trade alongside the City, catering to Malaysians who didn't quite fancy the analogous Toyota Yaris or Vios duo. That changed late last year, when the City Hatchback took the mantle where the Jazz once sat. Though its Bulbasaur looks and super-duper-ultra minimalist interior definitely had something to do with its non-appearance here, things like degree of parts commonality and buyer behaviour also play their part. All in, this means Singapore is the only

At Proton’s opening of their new engine assembly line in Tanjung Malim earlier this week, it’s made clear that only the direct-injected 1.5-litre three-cylinder mill (TGDi) is assembled here, while the multi-point injection (MPI) variant is imported from China. Speaking at the press conference, Muhammad Hasbullah, Deputy Chief Operating Officer of Powertrains, said that while “the plant is designed to produce a few more variants of the [1.5-litre three-cylinder engine], at the moment the focus i

Thinking outside the box is a trait usually appreciated, but there are times where staying within predefined confines are better – and parking is one, as the driver of this Toyota Prius c shows. In a truly bizzare incident, dashcam footage sees the driver park and nonchalantly leave his car at junction exit. And it wasn't all about 'act blur live longer' too; he still had the gall to direct the following car around his dainty hatchback. We can only imagine the face of the driver in the car behin

The Honda Jazz is also known as Fit in some regions, and it’s a bit of a funny story as to how the name ‘Jazz’ came about. Honda originally intended the name to be ‘Fitta’, and upon discovering that it is a slang word for vagina in Swedish, they decided to go with a different nameplate instead. It’s even funnier when the intended slogan for the Honda Jazz/Fit was ‘Small on the outside, big on the inside.’ Oh boy. Anyway, compared to other Honda models like the Civic or Accord, the Jazz hasn’t be

The Nissan Rogue, as the Nissan X-Trail is known as in the US, will be making its global debut on Monday June 15. More details to follow when the all-new 2021 Nissan X-Trail is revealed next week. Although Nissan has yet to reveal the full car, we can make a good guess on how the next generation X-Trail will look like based on patent documents submitted. This all-new Nissan X-Trail could also point to the next generation Mitsubishi Outlander, which is likely to share the same underpinnings as th

It’s everywhere. You can’t drive past one main street without seeing one. We are talking about the Honda HR-V 2019. The question is should you follow the crowd’s collective wisdom or should you put your money on something else, the much talked about Proton X70 for example? Honda HR-V vs Proton X70 The B-segment HR-V sits one segment lower than the C-segment X70 so direct comparisons between the two should be avoided. However, since the X70 undercuts its same-class rivals and is priced closer to
