Is the Proton EMAS a wasted golden opportunity?

Yesterday, we published an article where we found the Proton EMAS concept car among the EV prototypes that were sold off in another Proton-themed auction. While it was heart-breaking to see this once glorious concept car in such a sad state, it's a good thing that Proton decided to withdraw it from the auction. So, what makes the Proton EMAS so deserving to be restored? Let’s rewind back to 2010; South Africa hosted the World Cup for the first time in the African continent, Kanye West released h

A recond Toyota Alphard/Vellfire is nearly RM 44k cheaper than UMW Toyota's official import, should you buy the recond?

There's no doubt that the Toyota Alphard (and its Vellfire twin) is the best luxury MPV on the market. Few other cars can match the Alphard/Vellfire's spaciousness and ease of entrace/exit. Compared to a Mercedes-Benz S-Class, the Alphard's sliding doors allow you to step in/out of the car as if it's a room, rather than a car. The only question left is whether to buy a cheap reconditioned (recond) unit or pay up for an officially-imported unit by UMW Toyota Motor? Let’s take a closer look at the

下一代Toyota Alphard或在2022年发布:有什么是值得期待的?

Toyota Alphard/Vellfire这两款大家都喜欢的面包车,已经市售了很长的时间了。第三代车型首发于2015年,但最近有传言称,第四代车型或许在2022年亮相。 如果传言属实,那么距离它的到来只有几年的时间了,这款贵宾首选的MPV将会有怎样的新表现呢? 首先,如果你是Vellfire的拥趸,那么我要很遗憾的告诉你,你最爱的这款外观年轻的MPV将从下一代开始不复存在。 正如我们之前报道过的,Vellfire和Alphard将会合并为一个车型。之所以要放弃Vellfire这个名号,是因为在日本,Alphard有着更高的销量。 同时,在Toyota将日本的四个经销商合并为一个,并且削减了大部分当地的生产线,这意味着有些车型将不得不被整合到一起。 在外观上,由于只剩下Alphard了,它应该会有着豪华而商务的造型。如果这些渲染图准确的话,它将会装配一个巨幅的口罩中网,足够把那些高速公路上占着快速车道开慢车的人吓跑了。 说到高速公路,有传言说下一代Alphard将会采用TNGA平台。所以,我们可以期待新一代Alphard不仅会很舒适,同时也能有很棒的驾驶体验。 除了TNGA平台之外,

Review: Subaru XV 2.0 GT Edition – One car to do it all

With Subaru's well-known rally heritage, expectations are always high for Subaru cars. The gold-standard is a turbocharged boxer engine matched with golden wheels and a massive hood-scoop. With a naturally aspirated engine and a CVT transmission, the Subaru XV GT Edition might sound a little underwhelming. It's like the less famous sibling - the Cody Walker, the Luke Hemsworth, or the Tom Franco. Only those who have driven the Subaru XV will understand the appeal of it. Born with Subaru's symmet

In-car dashcam, don't drive without one and here's what you need to know

As cars get more and more feature packed, another equipment that has found into several new models is a digital video recorder (DVR), also known as a dashcam. Having video evidence from a dashcam will save from unnecessary “he said, she said” disputes arising from an accident. Many cars these days offer a built-in front-facing dashcam while some manufacturers like Toyota will even offer a rear-facing camera for an additional RM 350, which is a small price to pay for better peace-of-mind.

Here in Malaysia, or even anywhere else in South East Asia, we don’t think very highly of the Toyota Innova.
