I remember making my way back to Kuala Lumpur from Johor Bahru via the North-South Expressway in a Mercedes-AMG GLA 45. Traffic was fairly busy that day and I was maintaining a safe distance with the car in front while swooping past the slower cars in the middle lane. Out of a sudden, a first-generation Toyota Vios merged into the fast lane and came dangerously close to the rear of the Mercedes-AMG GLA 45. Now, before you accuse me of hogging the fast lane, I am moving with the flow of the traff

Looks like the flash flood season is well and truly back. With the flash floods also came the inevitable reports of damaged roads, this particular incident happened in Petaling Jaya and, unfortunately, a Fiat Bravo was caught just when the road was washed apart. The video of the badly damaged road was uploaded on a Facebook page called Pantas MBPJ. As you can see, the road along Jalan SS4A/1 near the Taman Bahagia LRT Station stretches for at least 300 m.

Being locked-up at home is beginning to get to some people, as is proof when this Malaysian driver posted a dashcam footage on Facebook of his near miss with a Molotov cocktail. On a Malaysian highway, no less! The driver was travelling along the Cheras-Kajang Highway when someone decided to hurl the cocktail at his car just as he was passing an overhead bridge.

Alongside the launch of the 2020 Mercedes-AMG A45 S and CLA 45, Mercedes-Benz Malaysia (MBM) also launched the all-new 2020 Mercedes-AMG A35 4Matic. The new entry level Mercedes-AMG is powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine and comes with Mercedes me for RM 379,888. Think of the A35 as the less aggressive version of the A45 hatchback. But even though it is an entry level AMG, the 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged engine is capable of 306 PS and 400 Nm of torque. The engine is mated to a 7

Once in a while, something really hot pops up in the used car markets that we just can't ignore. Partly because we are petrolheads, and partly because we like to live vicariously and look at pictures of cars we cannot afford yet. This is one such example - a 1999 Subaru Impreza (GC) sedan that looks like it just drove off a Subaru dealership a couple of hours ago. It’s obvious that it’s been lovingly restored (read: thousands of Ringgit poured into it), so let’s see what you will get for the ask

Ahh...AMG - the skunkworks in Affalterbach, Germany who make Mercedes-Benz cars go fast and loud. Little do most know that before they were bought by the carmaker in 1999, they were just another tuning house that pretty much followed where the money went. Which makes it pretty logical why they answered the phone when Mitsubishi rang. O
