Unique words tell a lot about a society. Have you heard of kaffeklatsch? It's a German slang for 'gossip over coffee'. Oddly specific as it is, it makes sense that it's coined by the people who invented drip coffee making, spilling a different kind of beans while another brews over... Fly to the other side of the world and thumb through their no less enigmatic dictionary, and you'll note that somewhere along the ideas of 'dear wife' and 'cherished pet', the Japanese have a place in the pages for

Mercedes-Benz Malaysia has dropped a new teaser, with a cryptic message that says, “Silence will soon be broken.” Now, they haven’t actually said what model it is (hence the teaser), but one of the hashtags used by the company mentioned #MercedesAMG. Thus, the teaser could be pointing towards the locally-assembled (CKD) Mercedes-AMG A35 Sedan, as evident from its signature LED daytime running lights (DRLs).

According to a post in the VWClubMalaysia Facebook group, in conjunction with the launch of the all-new VW Golf, Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia (VPCM) will be organizing a free track day for Golf owners at the Sepang Internation

Eye candies are usually exquisite works of art that seem to be out of reach for many of us. Whether they’re models, artworks, or even cars, these beauties can’t be experienced by many of us regular folk. But hang on, as the overused saying goes: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Calling something pretty or beautiful is purely subjective. For some of us, we enjoy the beauty in what some might consider the mundane. Let’s face it, some of us would much rather get the girl next door than a super

The Mercedes-Benz A-Class has always been known to us as a hatchback. Indeed, the A45 AMG still holds the reputation of being the most powerful hot-hatch in its class, but Mercedes-Benz decided to mesh things up and unleashed a sedan version as well. What’s different other than its looks? The answer is: not much. Launched into the Malaysian market just six months after the hatch, the A-Class sedan, or rather the A-Class Limousine as Mercedes-Benz knows it, is really the beloved hatchback but wit
