Take a look at videos featuring traffic in South Korea and you will find that 90% of cars are in silver, white, grey, or black. The cars of Seoul tend to lack some (ahem) soul and if you ever spot a car in a bright shade, they are usually taxis. The most common taxi model is the Hyundai Sonata and following the launch of the facelifted eighth-generation DN8 model in 2023, the taxi version has just given an update for the South Korean market.

The all-new 2024 Honda Accord is the topic today, as Honda Malaysia has announced earlier today that the model that won't be coming here. No such thing over in Indonesia, as the brand has previewed the 11th-generation model in the ongoing Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS), simultaneously making its ASEAN debut.

As we venture further into Q2 of 2021 with several launches already taken place earlier this year, let’s continue looking forwards to upcoming cars that are slated to be launched in Malaysia sometime in 2021. Do note that some of the cars mentioned are based on prediction, with varying levels of possibility. With that out of the way, let us crack on.

BMW 1M, M1, M2, M3, M4, M5, M6, and M8. See what number is missing there? BMW has made an M model for just about every Series except for one – the 7 Series. BMW said the ‘M’ adds a track element and there may not be a lot of demand for the 7 Series on the track. But there was an M7 back in the 80s, kind of, in South Africa.
