The all-new 2021 Toyota Harrier is one of the most hotly-anticipated cars to be launched in Malaysia this year.

While everyone is focused on the lack of a six-speed manual on the recently-introduced 2021 Suzuki Swift Sport, not many actually realized that Malaysia has launched the Swift Sport ahead of bigger / more influential (for Suzuki) neighbours. Indeed, Malaysia got the Swift Sport ahead of markets where Suzuki has a larger presence, like Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand. At the moment, the only other market to offer the Swift Sport officially in this region is Brunei, but their market is too smal
Just like the all-new Honda Jazz (which Malaysia is missing out), Singapore is set to be the first market in ASEAN to get the all-new 2021 Toyota Yaris Cross this week.

Remember Proton's electric vehicle (EV) project? Today, we found out that Proton was putting up models such as the Proton Saga EV, Proton Iriz EV, and even the Proton EMAS concept car up for auction. This following last week's auction of historic concepts and prototypes. UPDATE: The Proton EMAS concept car has been withdrawn from the auction. Thumbs up to Proton! It's impossible for a manufacturer to keep every protoype/concept car, but the EMAS deserves a spot in the museum. Today's auction was
Over the weekend, Malaysians and Singaporeans were shocked about the news of a BMW M4 Coupe crashing into a vacant shop lot, catching fire and killing all the passengers in the car. One more victim is reportedly fighting for her life in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) after trying to save the passengers in the car. Here are 5 new facts about the accident. New video of the BMW allegedly shows what happened before the crash Hours after the accident was reported, a new video of the BMW M4 flying thro
They say “honesty is the best policy” and it couldn’t be truer when it comes to this incident in Singapore where a truck driver was rewarded for owing up to side-swiping another person’s car. Not only was he rewarded with plane tickets to bring his family over, but many other chain brands also joined in with dishing out rewards. The note says: Driver Wang Yao Wen, I've accidentally hit your car. I'm so sorry, this is my contact number According to AsiaOne, the truck driver is believed to be of C
Autonomous driving, or aka self-driving cars and driverless cars, is now all the range. Everybody from Tesla and Google to Mercedes-Benz and more are looking into developing autonomous cars!

At an age when most people would just resign to their fate and wait for the end of their lives, former BBC presenter Tim Slessor will embark on a 16,000 km overland drive from Singapore to London, in a 64-year old Land Rover Series 1 – the same car he once drove on a similar journey but reverse direction back in 1955. Come 25-August, the 87-year old Tim will partner with 31-year old adventurer and documentary film maker Alex Bescoby to repeat the historic drive. Of course, they won’t be alone. T
The all-new 2020 Honda City has been spotted undisguised in Malaysia, suggesting that Honda Malaysia is launching the highly-anticipated model sooner than expected. Our friends over at Pandulaju recently posted a photo of the all-new Honda City on the Ampang-Kuala Lumpur Elevated Highway (AKLEH), likely undergoing a video shoot session. From the looks of it, this particular Honda City is the range-topping RS variant, as evident from its Ignite Red paint job, 16-inch alloy wheels, and boot lid sp
Last week, this column discussed the challenges that lie ahead in exporting the Proton X70 to Indonesia. While the Proton X70 was able to race to the top of the sales chart almost as soon as it was launched, it will not enjoy such luxury in Indonesia. As an imported model, the Indonesian government will certainly not grant Proton any tax incentives the way the Malaysian government does. Without a significant price advantage, it’s will have a harder time going up against the Honda CR-V. To win ov
