Whisper the words SUV carefully around it – the boys and girls at Maranello insist it's anything but, despite our inclinations to call a spade when we see one. The Ferrari Purosangue is branded as the company's 'first-ever four-door, four-seater car', and it's now open to Malaysian customers who have upwards of RM 5 million; inclusive duties, taxes and minimal options. Rather confidently they've called it the Purosangue, Italian for pureblood; thoroughbred, alluding to how development of the mod

Mercedes-Benz’s superluxury Maybach brand ended Q1 2022 by recording its best-ever quarter, with sales up by 161 percent. The latest generation W223 / V223 generation 2022 Mercedes-Benz S-Class also recorded a similarly impressive 67 percent increase in sales. The company didn’t provide a breakdown of its sales figures by model but said sales of its top-end models, which include not just the S-Class and Maybach but also the GLS, G-Class, AMG, and EQS models, reached 76,200 units in the first 3 m

The Toyota Land Cruiser 300 was unveiled recently and that has primed the Lexus LX for an all-new model because as you know, the LX is based on the Land Cruiser.

From the images, it appears to feature all the contemporary Lexus design cues like the spindle grille and L-shaped LED graphics. Other details from the front are difficult to discern as the image is rather dark, akin to a teaser. From the rear, the Lexus l

As you know, the Lexus LX is based on the Toyota Land Cruiser. Both cars are made at Toyota Auto Body’s Yoshiwara plant (additionally, Land Cruiser is also made at the Tahara plant, LX not anymore). So when the Land Cruiser 200 - on which the outgoing Lexus LX 570 is based, is replaced by an all-new 300 model - it won’t be too long before an all-new Lexus LX debuts. At the recently concluded global debut of the much smaller, all-new 2022 Lexus NX (which will soon be a lot more expensive for us M

A week ago, Bentley Kuala Lumpur extended an invite to us to sample the new 2021 Bentley Bentayga. As far as obvious goes, we happily said yes. To ensure we had enough seat time in the Bentayga, Bentley planned a day trip that allowed us to drive from KL to Ipoh and back. Opulent, wafty, sumptuous, classy. These are a few words that are used to describe the experience in a Bentley, be it as a driver or passenger. This is no different an experience in the Bentayga. After spending the best part of
