chevrolet cruze modified

Secara peribadinya, saya pernah melihat sebuah muscle car yang asli (bukan Datsun modifikasi) di atas jalan raya Malaysia. Deruman enjin sebuah muscle car ditambah dengan rekaan tajam memang berlainan daripada mana-mana sportscar. Oleh itu, memang tak keruan jadinya apabila melihat sebuah Chevrolet El Camino tahun 1972 untuk dijual. Kenderaan ini adalah sebuah trak pikap dan muscle car. Ya, kedua-duanya sekali. Chevrolet El Camino ini memang sebuah trak pikap dengan gabungan muscle car. Inilah i

It's not every day you will come across an American muscle car, what more one that is not a Ford Mustang. Whilst not my cup of tea, I can see the appeal of American muscle cars. They usually have big bodies strapped to a pushrod V8 engine, happily chugging down petrol like it was going out of fashion. Nothing shouts 'MURICA' like a good-old muscle car. Today's rare find comes in the form of a 1972 Chevrolet El Camino. This is not just a muscle car, but a pick-up truck, a 2-door one at that! This

When we say “modified”, thoughts like changing the front bumper or adding a rear spoiler would come to mind. And then, occasionally, you will come across modifications that transform a car to look like something else like this Toyota Alphard with a Rolls Royce face. This Toyota Cullinan/ Rolls Royce Alphard (depending on how you look at it), appeared at the famous Daikoku parking lot – Fast and Furious fans would know this place – to deceive the eye of all visitors.

We’ve seen plenty of examples where car owners deck out their cars with aftermarket headlamps and housings to give their rides a little more glamour. But we have not heard of a case where the owner duct-taped torch lights onto the car! Imagine the surprise when the police pulled over a man driving a Chevrolet Impala in the USA and discovered the duct-taped torch lights. According to a report, the police initially stopped the Impala due to its unusually dim headlamps at around 2 am, but little di

What’s the most reliable car brand? What brand should your next car be? Depending on who you ask, you will get different answers, depending on how they choose to make their assessment. If you were to ask the Americans at Consumer Reports, the best brands to buy are Porsche, Genesis, Subaru, Mazda, and Lexus, in that order. Something is clearly not right when a brand like Porsche tops the list of a consumer-friendly buying guide so take this with a pinch of salt. But Consumer Reports is not wrong

Looking at our WapCar car list, we have 35 car brands in Malaysia. Other sites might have posted more but even so, that’s quite a lot. Yet, there are some complaints that we have so few brands being represented here. To be honest, the Malaysian automotive market is pretty small in comparison to some of our neighbours. There’s also the fact that it might be difficult to convince Malaysian buyers to buy something different from the norm. It doesn’t matter if the brand has a cool car in its line-up

This tiny Perodua Axia size/ Proton Iriz lookalike car is an electric vehicle (EV) made by a company from China named Bodo. It has a top speed of 69 km/h and it is trying to establish itself in Europe. Jokes aside, Bodo is read in Chinese as “bao dao” that directly translates into “precious island”. The full name of the company is Wuxi Bodo Electric Vehicle Inc. So, no, the company is not trying to name themselves “bodoh” in an effort to humour us. Like the previously viral Mini lookalike, Mine
