"That is how we are challenging premium car makers without becoming one ourselves," is how Volkswagen's product planning boss Dr. Elmar-Marius Licharz describes the VW Arteon. What's the idea behind having a VW taking attention away from Audi is something we won't really know. What's certain is that it's a deliberate, calculated move. A car doesn’t just exist the way it does because some designer or some engineer woke up one morning with an epiphany of what a great car should be, at least not in

We talked about Kia’s SUV line-up last week, so let’s take a look at the SUVs from their parent company, Hyundai this week.

Move aside for this MINI John Cooper Works Countryman because under the bonnet lies a 306 PS beast with an asking price of RM 378,888, imported from the Netherlands. The JCW Countryman is also powered by the same 2.0-litre TwinPower Turbo engine in the Cooper S albeit with many modifications done to it. Reinforced crankshafts, a main bearing with extended cross section, specific pistons, connecting rods and a new vibration damper with optimised cooling are just a few of the tweaks that MINI engi
