At the time of inception, many current examples of what we affectionately refer to as “modern classics” were likely considered “ahead of its time.” They broke the mould, didn’t fit in or weren’t like the others.

According to data published by Vietnamese media, the Xpander grabbed 78.1% market share of all MPVs sold there last month. It's actually rather jarring to see how none of its competitors could even come close - no other offering could even crack the '300 units sold' m

Just recently, we reported that the next-generation DNGA-based Toyota Avanza will ditch its current rear-wheel drive config in favour of a cheaper and less complicated front-wheel drive format. While it may appear that the Toyota Avanza's donor car, the Daihatsu Xenia, could also ditch the rear-wheel drive layout, a recent report from Indonesia has stated otherwise.
