“Race on Sunday, sell on Monday.” The initial interpretation of the phrase may have changed over the decades but even in its evolved form, it very much remains relevant to the passionate flames in the world of motorsports and the carmakers that still keep that inferno burning for petrolheads. Back in the day, the phrase was conjured up as a way to boost sales. Carmakers would go racing over the weekend with the hopes of winning and seeing that top step of the podium translate into showroom sales

A brochure showcasing the specs of the upcoming Chery Omoda 5 in Malaysia has been made privy to WapCar.my, and initial checks show them to be legitimate enough instead of some random speculation. Still, it's worth noting that these are still unofficial at the point of writing - Chery Malaysia hasn't said announced the car's specs just yet, so while the final products may not be too different from what's here, there could still be changes to come.

Three-row SUVs in Malaysia have always been dominated by the usual Japanese suspects like the Nissan X-Trail or the Mazda CX-8/CX-9 but let’s not forget the representatives from Europe. Chief among them is the Peugeot 5008 Allure. Locally assembled in Gurun, the Peugeot 5008 Allure is the lone variant offered in Malaysia.

Also read: Here's exactly what you're getting with the CKD Kia Carnival that starts from RM 231k As a recap, the fourth-g

Less than one month after the 2021 Lexus LM 350 was launched in Malaysia, Lexus Malaysia has confirmed with WapCar.my that it has collected nearly 20 orders for the luxury minivan, more than half of it has already been delivered to its elite customers. As you would’ve expected, the Lexus LM 350’s asking price of RM 1,106,513 is hardly a deterrent. Nor is the fact that the Lexus LM costs twice as much as the more plebian Toyota Alphard 3.5L (RM 446,609) but has only half of the latter’s seating c

There's no doubt that the Toyota Alphard (and its Vellfire twin) is the best luxury MPV on the market. Few other cars can match the Alphard/Vellfire's spaciousness and ease of entrace/exit. Compared to a Mercedes-Benz S-Class, the Alphard's sliding doors allow you to step in/out of the car as if it's a room, rather than a car. The only question left is whether to buy a cheap reconditioned (recond) unit or pay up for an officially-imported unit by UMW Toyota Motor? Let’s take a closer look at the
