A photo of what is allegedly the dashboard of the upcoming W214 generation 2023 Mercedes-Benz E-Class has surfaced on Chinese social media channels. Judging by the simpler looking steering wheel, this is most likely a non-AMG, entry variant’s dashboard.

Sales of the Hyundai Sonata, once Korea’s most popular model, has been falling to dangerously low levels. The Hyundai Motor Group’s Asan plant, which makes the Sonata, is sitting idle for one week as inventories of the slow-selling Sonata are piling up at dealers.

Following the Prime Minister’s announcement on 100% sales tax exemption on new CKD cars and 50% exemption for CBU models until the end of the year, Hyundai-Sime Darby Motors has revised the price list which is applicable only to 2020 models.

We recently established a Malaysia Car Fans (WapCar) Facebook group where members can discuss, share and help one another on all things automotive. One particular poll by Facebook user Envy Issak who sought opinion on D-segment sedans caught our attention. Issak listed the Toyota Camry 2.5V, Honda Accord 1.5 TC-P while other group members added Volkswagen Passat Elegance, reconditioned Mercedes-Benz E-Class and a Mazda 6 wagon.
