The story behind the Alphard’s unique logo lies in the name of the flagship MPV itself. The name comes from Alpha Hydrae, the brightest star in the snake-shaped Hydra constellation. In fact, the

If there’s a category for the quirkiest car on sale at any Car of the Year award ceremony, the Suzuki Jimny might sweep the category because no other car can match it.
