Stock is not fun: All-new 2020 Honda City and 2020 Nissan Almera gets sporty upgrades!

Like many of us, you probably like to window-shop for cool stuff you can do to your car...before you've even had it. And with the all-new 2020 Honda City and 2020 Nissan Almera being so hotly-discussed right now, who can blame you?

Seeing as Thailand has got both models before us, they've had a go at spicing up these B-segment cars. Take a look, and let us know which one is your pick!

2020 Honda City RS by NK Garage

Carbon-fibre looks good, and carbon-fibre makes a good-looking car look better. Which explains why the boys and girls at NK Garage absolutely swathed this City in its weaves.

Subtlety is the name of the game here as they didn't go for redesigned bumpers or a vented hood - a carbon-fibre front lip and fairly standard hood was all the touches it got. 

Round the back, there's just a bootlid spoiler and small fins on the roof to go with it. All in carbon-fibre too of course.

Capping off the look are carbon-fibre side skirts, side mirror covers, a tasteful ride height drop and aftermarket wheels (Volk Racing TE37, in this case). 

Looks nice, but what about the competition?

2020 Nissan Almera by Drive68

We've seen their attempt at the City before, and this time they've worked their magic on the Almera.

The Almera already starts off looking angrier than the City, so it doesn't take much for it to look even more aggresive. Drive68's modification includes bumper extensions on the front and rear and also a set of complementing side skirts. 

Part of the rear bumper extension are faux exhausts and a diffuser. Much like the City it also gains a bootlid spoiler. No roof fins though!

Of course, it looks like a more complete package with lowered ride height and non-standard wheels.

Hmm, too subtle...is there anything else that stands out more?

Oh yes, glad you asked! Would your friends be amazed when you pull up in this not-quite-Type R?

Complete with huge rear wing and three exhausts? Because if they're not, then you need better friends. 

Booked the Almera instead? No worries, you can still goad your friends with this somewhat-GTR kit that even comes with the legendary red-R badge. Performance not included.

Both are by Nekketsu Racing, and if you don't tell anyone these are just 1.0-litres, you might just get away with it...

What's your pick?

Jokes and window-shopping aside, both these cars are very, very close to hitting our streets this year. Order books for the City are open, and the Almera has been spotted doing its test rounds recently. 

While you're at it, why don't you give our definitive round-ups on both these cars a read?

Don't forget to let us know what you think!

Review: Chery Omoda 5 in Malaysia - Bang-for-buck hero does its best to exorcise ghosts of Chery's past

Something about rising tides and lifting boats paints the picture of the Chinese car industry, and among the pleathora of startup small boats rolling into the vast sea you have your vessels; built on the back of years of trial and error, no doubt buoyed with a full coffer. Of course, for a fair few companies, the motivation to chart new waters is to correct missteps of years prior. 奇瑞, or Chery to you and I, will know very well what the latter means.

Toyota's Kinto is getting bored, finds a way to make the AH30 Alphard and Vellfire sliding doors close faster

You know how some cars can be truly fantastic except for one minor detail that you just can’t overlook and it ends up ruining the entire driving experience. It could be a terrible head unit or a bad seating position. Well, some of the engineers at Toyota’s Kinto subscription service thought that could be the abysmally slow speed of the sliding doors on the previous AH30 generation of the Toyota Alphard and Vellfire. Either that or they must be getting really bored over there. Or someone has secr
