The chatter of a group of people is something Honda reveres. They call it waigaya, a neither Japanese nor English onomatopoeia coined by Soichiro Honda’s business partner, Takeo Fujisawa, that loosely translates to the hubbub of conversation. It’s very well documented too; executives will testify these flash meetings formed the backbone of their innovations and success.

If there's any proof that Malaysians love thier modified cars, then response to the Toyota Corolla Cross GR Sport is a highlight: bookings for the model have exceed that of the Hybrid variant - previously the most popular Corolla Cross variant - according to sources close to the matter. Yet this is more than likely just a temporary development, as it's common for new models to get a spike in interest.

That’s a very odd accusation though, because Toyota's actual message was that BEVs take too long to achieve the intended carbon reduction eff

Just like the Suzuki Jimny, but for those who live above the clouds, the Land Rover Defender is a perfect SUV that blends retro and modern design. However, even Land Rover’s highly desirable SUV isn’t immune from the global chip shortage. Production at the Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) plant in Nitra, Slovakia, has been put on hold according to a report by Autocar due to the production crisis that has affected almost every major car manufacturer in the world.

The Geely Boyue has been on sale in China since 2016, and received a mid-life update in 2018. It received yet another update for 2020, which is the model you see here. For its 2020 model year, Geely has streamlined the variants on sale – the company now offers just 4 variants of the Boyue in China, down from the massive 13 variants a few years prior. Then there’s the Boyue Pro, a more sophisticated version of the regular Boyue. The Boyue Pro is differentiated by new headlights and tail lights, m
