Lots can be said about the all-new 2024 Toyota Alphard and its 'luxury redefining' concepts, but for those inclined to modifications, even more can be done for that extra personal touch. Cue Modellista, with two options... One's called the Regal Dignity Style, and the other is called the Garnish Style.

Japan might be generally seen as a safe country but reports of carjacking still occur in the country with among the world’s lowest crime rates. In fact, a report has shown that car theft incidents have risen slightly over the past 3 years.

The all-new L663 Land Rover Defender has been launched in Malaysia today and prices start from an extravagant-sounding RM 798,800 (inclusive of 50% SST discount, valid until 31-Dec 2021). Perhaps you might be interested to get one in spite of its high price tag because it’s a special-looking Landie but tough luck because Jaguar Land Rover Malaysia (JLRM) has sold its entire stock for 2021. During the L663 Defender’s launch, Syed Ahmad Muzri Syed Faiz, JLRM’s Managing Director, said that the SUV
