The cat’s finally out of the bag – Proton has dropped the initial round of information surrounding its upcoming model, the Proton X90.

Well, Theophilus Chin has had enough free time to render this Proton X50 “Kosong Spec” in white, complete with steelies and to be honest, it doesn't look too bad. Base spec or “kosong spec” cars have always been great for those who needed nothing more th

MINI Australia has received an overwhelming response on its city electric runabout – the MINI Cooper SE. All 100 units that were pre-ordered by MINI Australia have been sold out without the car being physically seen or driven. Those who wish buy a MINI Cooper SE in Australia now will have to wait until 2021 to get their cars.
