Someone in Japan modified a Toyota Alphard to look like a Rolls Royce!

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. Though no changes were made t

Perodua Kenari – Uniquely bad or brilliantly practical?

This year not only marked the 20th anniversary of the Proton Waja, but also one of the weirdest Perodua models sold. Before the overwhelming success of the Myvi, Perodua was always overshadowed by Proton. Granted, Perodua and Proton weren’t directly competing then. Perodua focused itself on basic city runabouts with smaller engines and this didn’t affect sales of Proton. Perodua had a very simple 3-car line-up too. The Kancil was meant for beginner drivers, the Rusa was for simple commercial use

Rendered: Perodua Bezza modified with GR Yaris kit, a pocket rocket sedan?

Known more for its fuel efficiency, it is hard to imagine the Perodua Bezza as a performance car. However, photo chopper Theophilus Chin seems to think otherwise with his rendering of a Perodua Bezza fitted with kits from the Toyota GR Yaris. In continuation of renderings of the Perodua GR Axia and the Perodua GR D55L, here is the Perodua GR Bezza. The Perodua Bezza has been around since 2016 and received a very recent facelift in early 2020. Fresh from the factory, the Perodua Bezza produces a

How did the Perodua Kembara conquered Malaysians’ love for the SUV?

While the whole nation is abuzz with the Proton X50, there are some who would probably be more interested in the upcoming Perodua D55L. The still-unnamed SUV based on the Toyota Raize/Daihatsu Rocky will be Perodua’s successor to their previous SUVs, the Kembara and the Nautica. For now, we’ll take an off-road trip in the Kembara. It was so well-loved that we speculated Perodua might revive the name for the production D55L. It captured Malaysian hearts to venture the great outdoors or at least t

Perodua Kembara, mencetus minat untuk SUV di Malaysia dari 22 tahun lalu

Satu Malaysia tengah ‘panas’ dalam kehujanan gembar-gembur Proton X50 semenjak dua menjak ini. Tapi, ada sekumpulan peminat yang hanya parking tepi dan membiarkan gerombolan peminat X50 mengejar senarai tempahan di Proton kerana mereka masih setia menunggu kedatangan Perodua D55L. SUV belum bernama ini ialah model yang berasaskan Toyota Raize/Daihatsu Rocky dan ia akan menjadi pewaris SUV lama Perodua iaitu Kembara dan Nautica.

Perodua Kenari – Teruk dan pelik, atau ‘best’ dan praktikal?

Tahun ini, kita bukan sahaja memasuki tahun ke-20 bagi Proton Waja, tetapi ia juga ulangtahun bagi salah satu model Perodua yang paling ‘aneh’ pernah dijual. Sebelum kehebatan Myvi terkenal seantero Malaysia, Perodua seringkali dibayangi oleh Proton. Hakikatnya, Perodua dan Proton tidak bersaing secara langsung ketika itu. Matlamat Perodua berfokus pada pemanduan biasa di bandar dengan enjin lebih kecil, dan ini tidak mengganggu jualan Proton. Pada masa yang sama, Perodua mempunyai barisan 3 ker

Woman born without arms drives a Perodua Axia, holds a job – what’s your excuse?

Life has always been unfair for Norfarrah Syahirah Shaari, who was born without arms. Completing simple daily tasks that most of us take for granted, she has to complete it using only her legs. Still, not having a pair of arms has not stopped the spunky 32-year old from Perak from living an independent life.

Next-gen DNGA-based Perodua Alza to get mild hybrid option?

Sources say that the next-generation Perodua Alza will be based on the Daihatsu New Global Architecture (DNGA), possibly merging with the Toyota Avanza.

New 2020 Perodua Myvi facelift soon to make debut, what to expect from the facelift?

In a blink of an eye, it has been 15 years since the launch of the Perodua Myvi. The current Myvi, launched in 2017, is now in its third generation and is no longer related to any Japanese market Daihatsu. Sales of the current generation started back in 2018, so it is about time for Perodua to introduce refreshments to the car. Wondering that it hasn’t been long since the current Myvi was introduced, is it time for a facelift already? If you take a look at Perodua’s model trend, the Myvi’s gener

Could the next-gen DNGA-based Perodua Alza debut in 2021?

With all the attention focused on the upcoming Perodua D55L, one could easily forget that Perodua has another surprise up its sleeves. Case in point is the next-generation Perodua Alza, which could see the light of day sometime in late-2021 or early-2022. Recall that the Perodua Alza is one of the oldest new cars you can buy today, as the model was introduced in Malaysia way back in 2009. Over the course of 11 years, the Perodua Alza received numerous updates, though mechanically, it remained la

Myvi driver's frequent loud exhaust testing leads neighbour to shoot car with air gun

We all have that neighbour that loves the sound of a booming exhaust system.

Believe it or not, this is a Toyota Innova

Here in Malaysia, or even anywhere else in South East Asia, we don’t think very highly of the Toyota Innova. Malaysians in particular can’t get over the fact that it rides on the same underpinnings as a rudimentary Toyota Hilux pick-up truck. Tough and good for carrying loads yes, but not for refinement. Over in Indonesia, theToyota Innova is very popular. It’s seen as a step up from the Toyota Avanza, the default car for Indonesia, similar to our Perodua Myvi. Still, Indonesians don’t see it as

No replacement planned yet for ageing Proton Saga, BMA platform too costly

The current generation Proton Saga, sometimes referred to as the P2-13A Saga, has been on the market since 2016. To keep it ahead of its biggest competitor the Perodua Bezza, Proton gave the A-segment Proton Saga sedan a mid-lifecycle facelift in 2019, adding a new touch screen infotainment, and a new Hyundai-sourced 4-speed automatic replacing the previous car’s lousy CVT, and more importantly, drop its price to be lower than the Bezza. Since the current Saga is basically a heavily modified ver

New car prices are going up not just in Malaysia, but also in the US, why so?

You are not the only one who think that cars are getting a little bit too expensive. Malaysians have long complained about high car prices due to our lopsided tax structure but actually, this is a question asked by consumers from all over the world. Data from USA’s Edmunds.com show that the average transaction price for a new car has gone up from USD 23,900 in year 2008 to almost USD 39,000 in 2019, the last available pre-pandemic level data.
