The Toyota Mega Cruiser is the Japanese Hummer you've never heard of

Mention big military-grade SUVs and one would normally think of the Hummer H1. Although Toyota’s most popular SUV would be the mighty Toyota Land Cruiser, the Toyota Mega Cruiser is the much bigger and much tougher 4-wheeler from Toyota. Being 2.17 m wide, the mega Cruiser is 30 cm wider than a standard land Cruiser. First unveiled at the 1993 Tokyo Motor Show, and later released in 1996, the “civilian” Mega Cruiser was only officially sold in Japan. Mainly used for miltary and special purposes,

Goldmine: Banzai! This RM 248k Mega Cruiser is a rare veteran!

A few days ago, we wrote a feature on the absolute unit of a Toyota called the Mega Cruiser. To put it short, it was Japan’s answer to the American Hummer. Toyota only produced 100 civilian Mega Cruisers, making it one of the rarest and most interesting Toyota models ever. The main reason for the Mega Cruiser was after all as a military transport to carry soldiers, mortars, and missiles for the Japan Self Defense Forces (JSDF). So you could imagine our surprise when we found one Mega Cruiser arm

8 millionaire-looking cars for under RM 200k

Last week, we showed you ten expensive-looking cars under RM 100k and some of you think those selections don’t quite shout ‘appearing rich’.

Haval Big Dog is the puppy sent to bark at Jeep

There are many ways a manufacturer can go about naming a car, they can either go unoriginal i.e. One, or they can play it save and name it after a location like Kona, Tucson and Sedona. Or they can do it like Haval who literally named their rugged new SUV Haval Big Dog. We’re not joking, it’s a direct translation of the Chinese name. If you think that the name Big Dog is amusing, Haval further amps up the humour with the variant names for the SUV. The base spec Big Dog is known as the Husky vari

Be wary of hidden charges when buying a used car!

Buying a used car can net you quite a fair bit in savings, as depreciation is a painful reality for new car buyers. But ask anyone who has recently purchased a used car and the general consensus is the same – the listed price isn’t always the same as the price they paid. The main reason is very simple; used car dealers have a nasty habit of excluding hidden 'processing fees' from the listed price of their cars. As such, one can expect to pay an extra RM 4,000 to RM 5,000 more when buying from a

Save up to RM 50k on a recond car or go for Certified Pre-Owned car?

When it comes to shopping for a car, terms like reconditioned cars and certified pre-owned (CPO) cars get tossed around a fair bit. On paper, both CPO and reconditioned (recond) cars are very similar – both are cheaper than a new car, allowing the buyer to save some money. But that’s where the similarities end, as they are world’s apart once you look closer. Recond cars – good on paper, but buyers beware While it may seem tempting to save RM 40k to RM 50k on a recond car versus a brand-new car,
