Last month, we posted about how important China is to Mercedes-Benz Cars, and that it contributes 36 percent of the three-pointed star’s global passenger car sales. In a hyper-competitive economy where an S-Class is not seen as a flagship sedan but a minimum acceptable business sedan, and that an E-Class is perceived as a car for a businessman facing cash flow issues, never mind a ‘lowly’ C-Class, every super rich Chinese worth his / her bling wants a Maybach.

There is something so alluring about driving a sports coupe – much of this has to do with the style, the sleek lines front to back, and the sporty stance that exudes a notion of power, exclusivity, and speed. There is a timelessness about them too; picture a classic (C107) Mercedes-Benz SL or an ultra-modern Jaguar F-Type rolling down to your favourite Kopitiam – two different cars that shout the same thing; “I have arrived, and I’m a person of taste”.

The Toyota GR Yaris is not a cheap car by any means, as it is priced from JPY 3.96 million (~RM 148k) to JPY 4.56 million (~RM 170k) in Japan.

But there’s a good reason to as why the little GR Yaris costs so much, as shown in the video below. One of the biggest reasons why the Toyo

A photo depicting the front-end of the the all-new 2020 BMW M4 has leaked ahead of the model's debut in September. Just like the 4 Series it’s based on, the upcoming 2020 BMW M4 gets a massive front grille, which looks similar to the earlier-leaked photo. That being said, the front grille’s design is different from the 4 Series – while the regular 4 Series gets a honeycomb-like pattern in the grille, on the M4, it gets large horizontal slats instead. It remains to be seen which engine the upcomi

How much is the Lexus UX? Bookings for the Lexus UX has just been opened by Lexus Malaysia.

They share similar suspension setup with MacPherson struts at the front and double wishbones at the rear. In theory, this sh

Fresh from its world debut at the 2020 Tokyo Auto Salon, we have learned that the Toyota GR Yaris could be coming to Malaysia soon. The GR Yaris will be the second Gazoo Racing road car to be sold in Malaysia, after the GR Supra. Prices have yet to be confirmed but don’t expect it to be cheap. Globally the GR Yaris is priced very close to a FK8 Honda Civic Type R, even though the Yaris is a B-segment model that sits one-class below the C-segment Civic. How much? Expect to play close to RM 300,00
