It’s a not so open secret, but UMW Toyota Motor has just confirmed the company will be launching 3 high performance GR models in 2023. The first on the list is the Toyota GR 86, suggesting that this will be the first of the trio to be launched. The second generation of the Toyota-Subaru now wears the GR badge. Its Subaru twin is currently sold by TC Subaru for RM 249,000 but historically, the Toyota-badged twin will command a higher premium, so expect prices for the new 86, now a 2.4-litre model

It would seem even the most iconic, pure driver's cars are not immune to the inevitable shift to electrification. Mazda has announced that its venerable sports car, the MX-5 Miata, will feature some form of electrification, for the model that will succeed the current ND generation. According to a Japanese publication, Mazda's R&D and Cost Innovation boss, Ichiro Hirose has remarked that the convertible MX-5 is in the "scope of electrification in 2030," which is consistent with Mazda's Sustainabl

Toyota and Subaru have just announced that they will unveil a new co-developed model in Japan on 5-April 2021. What could it be?

Previously in our year-end review of sorts, we have taken a look at the most important car launches but in this article, we'll focus on the models that have been discontinued in 2020. Some of them are pulled out due to being replaced, poor sales, or in the case of one of them, bad luck. Without further distractions, let’s pour out a little motor oil for these fallen models that were killed off in 2020. BMW 1 Series CKD If you ever wanted a brand-new BMW for under RM 200k, your only option would

With the unveiling of the 2020 Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series, Mercedes-AMG finally gives its flagship supercar the Black Series treatment. It is also the most powerful V8-powered car ever from Mercedes-AMG. Like all Black Series cars AMG had released since 2006, this is no ordinary AMG GT. The masters at Affalterbach have managed to pull out an impressive 740 PS and 800 Nm from its newly-designed 4.0-litre flat V8 engine. Unlike previous Black Series models, the AMG GT Black Series is the first t

The Toyota GR Supra is now here, priced from RM 568,000. Any discussion about the Toyota GR Supra will inevitably be overshadowed by debates about whether this BMW-Toyota jointly developed model can be a true successor to carry the legendary Supra nameplate, which is a shame because it takes the attention away from something that’s very important to anyone who cares about the brand that makes the Toyota GR Supra.
