And naturally, you're thinking of putting one in your driveway. So, you're shopping around, doing the diligent consumer thing by surveying your options before you plonk down your hard-earned money. Today, we pit the brand spanking new, FE-generation, Honda Civic, against the exquisitely talented Toyota Coro

Alongside the long-wheelbase Mercedes-Benz C-Class L, the 2021 Mercedes-Benz CLS facelift also made appearance at the Shanghai Auto. As seen in the global debut, changes are subtle, only obvious to eagled-eyed fans. The front grille features the three-pointed star pins and redesigned front bumper with more striking intakes. Apart from those, it’s virtually indistinguishable from the pre-facelift Mercedes-Benz CLS. Perhaps Mercedes-Benz got it right in the first place. After all, the A-Class’ fro

The newly formed Kia manufacturing joint venture made between Bermaz Auto Berhad and Kia Motors Corporation - Kia Malaysia Sdn Bhd (KMSB) - will become Kia’s regional manufacturing hub.

The one in India is wholly owned by Kia Motor while the one in Vietnam is owned by Truong Hai Auto Corp (Thaco). Kia does not hold any stake in th

In this exercise, we’ll compare the recently-announced 2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class (W206) against its main rival, the G20 BMW 3 Series.

The G20 BMW 3 Series should be a familiar sight by now, with its notched headlamps that is sa

The 2020 Toyota Vios GR Sport (GR-S) could be the entry-level Gazoo Racing (GR) model in Toyota's line-up. Starting from RM 95,284 (excluding SST, valid until 31-Dec 2020), it is much cheaper than the GR Yaris but it is every bit as special. 2020 Toyota Vios pricelist (Without SST) Model Price 1.5 J A/T RM 76,623 1.5 E A/T RM 82,593 1.5 G A/T RM 87,584 1.5 GR-S A/T RM 95,284 The performance-inspired Vios isn't available at all Toyota showrooms.

The Royal Malaysian Police’s (PDRM) aging fleet of Proton Wira and Proton Waja models will be replaced in stages by 425 units of Toyota Corolla Altis 1.8E. The newer Proton Preve and Proton Inspira police cars however, will continue to remain in service. Curiously, it is not UMW Toyota Motor, the authorised importer and distributor of Toyota vehicles in the country that will be supplying the vehicles. Instead, the fleet of Toyota Corolla Altis will be supplied by Go Auto Sales Sdn. Bhd., the imp
