“Have you had durian before?,” I asked my instructor Andrea Nori. “No..what is that? Is it like a papaya?” His assumption is just based on what he knows, but cutely wide off the mark – and despite my attempts at convincing him it "doesn’t really smell that strong" and "tastes sweet" – I’m sure man was definitely in for a surprise. It's funny but my experience isn't all that different anyway. The last time I was on the Sepang International Circuit I drove a Vios and a GR Yaris, and today I have a

We’ve previously reported that the Mercedes-Benz A-Class Sedan (V177) will not be replaced after the current generation model ends. The move is part of Mercedes-Benz Cars’ efforts to streamline its product offerings, focusing on higher margin products. It begs the question, is Mercedes-Benz really going to exit the compact sedan segment entirely? Not at all, according to a recent report from German business publications Automobilwoche. The report claims that the vacuum that will soon be left in

Probably the sleekest and sexiest model in the Mercedes-Benz compact series is the Mercedes-Benz CLA.

Last week, we showed you ten expensive-looking cars under RM 100k and some of you think those selections don’t quite shout ‘appearing rich’. Indeed, the Proton X50 and X70 may feel expensive but they’re still a Proton (or Geely) underneath. For this week’s Top Rank Millionaire-Looking Motors (MLM), we’re bumping up the budget to RM 200,000 and unlike the last list, we’ll be focusing only in the used car market. We’ve selected 8 for this list and you can be certain these fine cars will make you g

The Gran Coupe variant started off with the 6 Series (F12 generation), then with the 4 Series (F36 generation), and now comes the first-ever 2 Series Gran Coupe. It is BMW’s answer to the Mercedes-Benz CLA, both being a four-door coupe that shares the same underpinnings as its front-wheel drive hatch counterpart. Visually, it looks similar to the 1 Series from the front but pay closer attention and the differences start to show. The 2 Series Gran Coupe has curvier headlamps design, wider grille,

At the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2019 at Las Vegas, USA, the Mercedes-Benz has unveiled the all-new CLA-Class. Now this company has put this new edition car into production at their plant in Kecskemet, Hungary. The plant in Hungary is the birthplace of the highly emotive CLA-Class four-door coupe and remains to produce since the first generation in 2013. The plant's advanced production technologies have been updated, such as the usage of automatic guided vehicles (AGV) to transport entire
