There is zero doubt that Malaysians are a very creative bunch who are capable of very big things. After all, the ubiquitous pen drive was created by a Malaysian anyway. Somewhere in the veins of awesome Malaysian creations is this drifting Perodua Kancil. Don’t rub your eyes, you read that correctly - this little box can and will go up against big boys like the Cefiro A31. Don’t believe me?

Following their debut at the Tokyo Auto Salon in January this year, famed Toyota tuner Tom’s will open orders for their tuned 2020 Toyota GR Supra and 2020 Toyota Century this weekend. The Supra gets a new turbo, intercooler and an ECU tweak among other mods to bump the power up from 335 PS to 460 PS. Meanwhile, stiffened chassis and new Brembo six-piston brake calipers mated to 380mm discs means the newfound power stays in check. Unlike us (hopefully), when cars go on a diet they become wider.

When the all-new 2020 Subaru BRZ was unveiled, many car fans were excited to see that the spirit of the traditional sports car was still alive and well. However, that model was solely for the USA, the rest of the world would very likely receive its Toyota-badged twin, the upcoming 2021 Toyota GR86. Back in January, we reported leaked patent images of the GR86’s aggressive front bumper. Now, Japanese media has shown its rendering of what the latest Toyota sports car could look like, and yep, aggr

While Perodua’s upcoming D55L crossover SUV might be launched in 2021, that doesn’t mean you can’t stop dreaming about how you want to give your future Perodua a makeover.

Thanks to patent filing images, we now have a better idea of how the upcoming 2021 Toyota GR86 looks like, ahead of the coupe's expected unveiling sometime this year. The design filings lodged with Australia's Intellectual Property office (IP Australia) gives us a clearer look at the front bumper worn by prototypes spotted last year. There's a few ways we can identify that the bumper belongs to the GR86 - most obvious among all is the fact that it keeps Gazoo Racing's (GR) design language, which

Isuzu is currently the world's biggest manufacturer of diesel engines. The 1.9-litre Ddi Blue Power engine is one of the most reliable engines today and their line-up only consists of pick-up trucks and, occasionally an SUV. But there was a time when Isuzu made cars. Like regular cars. Isuzu’s car history was pretty much a mixed bag. The company was first established in 1916 as Tokyo Ishikawajima Shipbuilding and Engineering Co., Ltd. It started using the Isuzu name from 1949 and its first passe

I don’t think we need it.” She also did not comment on Perodua’s intention to be involved in the third national car project as MAA does not have details of the plan. Datuk Aishah also said that ev

When it comes to shopping for a car, terms like reconditioned cars and certified pre-owned (CPO) cars get tossed around a fair bit. On paper, both CPO and reconditioned (recond) cars are very similar – both are cheaper than a new car, allowing the buyer to save some money. But that’s where the similarities end, as they are world’s apart once you look closer. Recond cars – good on paper, but buyers beware While it may seem tempting to save RM 40k to RM 50k on a recond car versus a brand-new car,
