As you know, PSA and Fiat Chrysler have entered a 50:50 merger deal to form the world’s fourth-largest automaker back in December 2019. The merged unit has finally announced a name for their new company called Stellantis. The companies said that the name will be exclusively used at the group level as a corporate brand. The names and logos of the group’s constituent brands (Peugeot, Citroen, Fiat, Opel, etc) will remain unchanged. “Stellantis” came from the Latin verb “Stello” which translates “t

BMW Malaysia has teased the 2021 BMW iX, which suggests the introduction of the electric SUV (BMW uses the term SAV) here. The BMW iX is comparable with the BMW X5 in length and width, and is almost the same height as the BMW X6. Despite being an electric car, the BMW iX features the famous (infamous?) vertical kidney grille. Whether beautiful or not, it certainly gives a visual impact. According to BMW, the massive kidney grill is more than just a visual shock. The BMW kidney grille serves as a

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

Downsizing. It is a dirty word to many car enthusiasts, but apparently unavoidable. Even purveyors of large engines, Mercedes-AMG, recently announced that its venerable 4.0-litre, twin turbo V8 engines will be replaced with hybrid 4-cylinder ones. Quite a shock to the system, yes. If you, like me, lived through the late 1980s and entire 1990s, you'd know that premium and performance cars of that era mostly came with large-capacity engines. 2.0-litre engines?
