The locally-assembled (CKD, Pekan) 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLC is now launched in Malaysia. Like the fully-imported (CBU) model, only one variant is offered – GLC 300 AMG Line, which is priced at RM 378,888 (OTR without insurance), making it RM 51k cheaper than the CBU model. Specs wise, the CKD GLC 300 mostly mirrors the CBU version except for the addition of a panoramic sunroof and hands-free access for the tailgate. The GLC 300 is a mild-hybrid (MHEV) and is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-litre inl

Resale value can be a touchy subject on social media. There’s a rather vocal group who are absolutely against even faintest notion of taking resale value into the car buying decision. Some may question along the lines of “You’re already well-off enough to buy a Mercedes-Benz, why are you concerned about resale value?” Well, unless you’re Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk, money is money and no one likes to lose more than they need to.

Over 1,600 km on the toughest off-road trail in Australia, one of the toughest in the world Mercedes-Benz G-Class was the first convoy to cross, but at great cost Toyota Hilux asked what's the big fuss? If you are looking for a manly car that looks like it’s fueled by testosterone, but at the same time doesn’t make you look like an uncultured swine, it’s hard to do better than a Mercedes-Benz G-Class.

Flagship sedans, they are the pride and torchbearers for luxury brands. They display the swankiest interiors, the latest technology, and nothing is left on the table. Captains of industry are regularly seen schlepping around in such luxobarges. They want to be seen in nothing less than the latest and greatest. The Mercedes-Benz S-Class and BMW 7 Series (replete with gargantuan, unsightly nostrils) are perennial favourites for those seeking an opulent and luxuriant motoring experience, and as suc

The problem with Facebook’s newsfeed’s algorithms is that it feeds you what other like-minded people are seeing, rightly or wrongly. Worse, many see the comments section as a source of information. Very quickly, our society has become one that is fragmented into groups that speak only within each other’s echo chambers – each seeing what they want to see and hearing what they want to hear, with Facebook serving as a massive amplifier of confirmation biases. This is why fringe beliefs are becoming

The Mercedes-AMG A45 S was launched in Malaysia last week, priced at RM 459,888. Meanwhile, the Mercedes-AMG A35 has a price tag of RM 379,888. 1. What does Toyota Vios money get you? For one, the A45 S gets the M139 engine that makes 421 PS and 500 Nm of torque. It’s the world’s most powerful 4-cylinder engine and is bounded by the “One man, one engine” principle of AMG, as you see from the plaque that sits proudly on the engine cover. The A35 on the other hand, has the same engine (M260) as th
