Mercedes-Benz Malaysia (MBM) can’t continue to operate like it did when Ipoh tin mining tycoons were still around. In 1988, Mercedes-Benz sold less than 500 cars annually here. Today, MBM sells ar

Three years after making its world debut in Detroit, USA, Honda has given its mid-size Accord a mid-lifecycle update. However, changes are very minor. In terms of styling, the 2021 Honda Accord will get a new front grille and bumper, new LED headlights with a longer and wider illumination, and new alloy wheels.
