All-new 11th-generation Honda Civic, when is the Malaysian launch?

Honda just took the covers off the all-new 11th-generation Honda Civic via a livestream on Twitch, showcasing its next-generation bread-and-butter model. The biggest question on every Malaysians’ mind is: how soon can I get my hands on the all-new Civic?

Honda Civic Type R's boss Kakinuma joins Super Taikyu race

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. That said, it seems that Honda isn't content to rest on its laurels. After all, one can always strive to scale greater heights. With that, Honda has anno

2020 Honda new models – Accord, City, and more for Malaysia!

Surprising as it may sound, Honda Malaysia launched only one new model in 2019, which was the facelifted Honda HR-V. That marks quite a drop, considering that Honda Malaysia was rather aggressive with new product launches back in 2017 and 2018. The reason is due to delays in pricing approvals by the government, which not only delayed products from Honda, but other manufacturers as well. Pay BMW money for an Accord?
