On paper, Chery Omoda 5 has what it takes to rival established Japanese SUVs like HR-V and Corolla Cross Immediate impact to Japanese brands to be very minor, limited dealer network at launch In a longer term, product pipeline and prospects are good for Chery What happens when car designers are given a free reign to design a car without much restrain?

The owner of this Toyota Hilux, Quentin Boylan says that he gets a lot of 'funny looks' because of the custom number plates on his pick-up truck, which reads 'AMG HLUX GP'. Part of the laughs might come from those who think he's a poser, except Boylan is anything but one - his Toyota is powered by a 6.2-litre V8 plucked from a Mercedes-AMG C63. Boylan says his one-off custom build was partly inspired by the (lack of) a proper, big-engined Mercedes-Benz X-Class. If you recall, the short-lived pic

Unlike in Malaysia, the Nissan Almera is enjoying a pretty solid sales streak over in Thailand. Since its introduction back in November 2019, it's been consistently beating the Toyota Yaris Ativ (essentially our Vios with a smaller 1.2-litre engine), and nips ever closer at the Honda City's heels in Q1 2021.

As car fanatics, we love to indulge in a little bit of car window shopping. You know, looking through the online classifieds hoping to add a dream car to your imaginary garage. Sometimes, you do come across a deal that sounds way too good to be true and on rare occasions, it really is a good deal. Unfortunately for a contractor, he fell victim to a scam. According to local reports, the 53-year old man from Pekan, Pahang stumbled across an ad for a Ford Ranger Raptor that was for sale on Facebook

Here in Malaysia, or even anywhere else in South East Asia, we don’t think very highly of the Toyota Innova. Malaysians in particular can’t get over the fact that it rides on the same underpinnings as a rudimentary Toyota Hilux pick-up truck. Tough and good for carrying loads yes, but not for refinement. Over in Indonesia, theToyota Innova is very popular. It’s seen as a step up from the Toyota Avanza, the default car for Indonesia, similar to our Perodua Myvi. Still, Indonesians don’t see it as
