Mitsuoka – The bonkers Japanese car maker with a heart

Take one look at the range of cars in the cover photo and what is the first thing that comes to your mind? Is it disgust, intrigue, madness, or a mix of all of them? Whatever sort of feeling you’re getting, it fits with Mitsuoka’s brand and intent, they’re trying to be very much different and unique – something lost in many car brands and very much a wholesome characteristic to a brand many enthusiasts mock. A few Mitsuokas can be spotted on the road and that’s because at one point Mitsuokas wer

Remember the Toyota Hilux that was seen rampaging through a Ramadan bazaar just 2 weeks ago?

Hold on, is the all-new 2021 Honda HR-V really as big as it looks?

While the world (well, at least in this part of the world) is reeling from the global launch of the all-new 2021 Honda HR-V, we must say that it looks very drastic and bigger than the outgoing model. Some might say it resembles a Mazda at the front, which must be a compliment. However, according to an interview with Japanese media, the all-new HR-V’s bigger size is merely an illusion. Wait, so it only looks big? Granted, we’re only looking at photos rather than up close, so what’s the deal with

The coolest old car? A look at the first Nismo-restored R32 Nissan Skyline GT-R

At this point, it isn't even about rose-tinted glasses anymore - the 1980s and 1990s were good times for sports cars. Nissan seems to agree, if their fully-restored R32 Nissan Skyline GT-R is anything to go by. Recently, Nismo (Nissan's sporting arm, Nissan Motorsports International) opened their Nismo 'Restored Car' division, with the first product on their catalogue being this 'Godzilla' R32 GT-R.

Dakar Rally legend Hiroshi Masuoka was in this Mitsubishi Triton commercial for Malaysia

The latest video commercial for the Mitsubishi Triton is probably among the better Malaysia-produced ads for a pick-up truck, if not the best. Produced by Five55 Production, the ad left a lasting impression in our minds mainly because of its driving scenes, which was done by two-time Dakar Rally champion Hiroshi Masuoka. Recall that Masuoka-san, who is also an ambassador for the tri-diamond brand, was in Malaysia earlier in March for Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia’s 4SureThrill event at Setia Alam.

If you didn't know this already, the FK8 Civic Type R is one of the best - if not the best - hot hatch anywhere. It is a personal favourite of mine. It's amazingly refined when it needs to be, but morphs into a scalpel-sharp driving experience when you turn the wick up. Safe to say, the development team got this car's tuning absolutely spot on.

After its global debut in 2019, many weren’t impressed with the amount of BMW badging engraved all over the car, calling it the “Zupra” (an acronym mix of its cabriolet sibling, the BMW Z4).
