The VW Polo GTI is my date for the weekend and we went to do all sorts of exciting things up North. From visiting penang to driving through Permatang Pauh to catch election fever.
So far she has not disappointed me, I hope she has found me a worthy partner too.
I will give you all the dirty details later
Burns better for more miles and it keeps engines cleaner
Leading energy company Shell is known for their racing diesel fuel so they are keen to demonstrate what they have learnt on the tracks to the average motorist and the result is their diesel with economy formula.
Additives an detergents help the fuel to mist better for combustion and keeps the engine cleaner for longer.
Hyundai Grand Starex 2.5 Turbo Diesel
The Starex is a big vehicle, it packs 11 seats. That pretty much says it all.
Anything that packs 12 seats is not going to set the market on fire, very few families need such a large transporter but for those that require the capacity, thre is really nothing else that comes close to the Starex, not at the Rm138,888 asking price anyway.
The LS460L, the long wheelbase variant of the Lexus flagship made a mark on the local limousine market when it was introduced but not everyone wants a car that is tailored towards a chauffeur driven environment. Sometimes the boss wants to drive his own car and does not want to look like a driver doing it, this is why the LS460 exists.
Honda Accord 2.0 VTEC
When car companies design a car, they usually have one engine that is the optimum for the particular model and that variant is the one that perfectly matches their design brief.
The latest Honda Accord was designed to be more luxurious than before because Honda wanted to move it further along the luxury scale while still maintaining some of the driver satisfaction that has long been the car’s major selling point.
When the XC90 was first launched, it blew away all other family SUVs, it was so close to perfect that even Jeremy Clarkson couldn’t help himself and bought one.
So what do you do to improve on something that is so much liked? add a few more goodies like Satnav and sophisticated in-car entertainment system to make the XC-90 even more family friendly. Actually, the ICE on the original was already very good, the new one is simply fantastic.
A new dawn in the history of Korean motorsport rose yesterday as the new A1 Team Korea officially unveiled its entry into the A1GP World Cup of Motorsport at a launch ceremony in Seoul.
More than 500 guests from Korea’s political, business and entertainment world attended the event on Wednesday evening, enjoying a five-course banquet and the large-scale on-stage production that heralded the Republic of Korea’s first step into international motorsport competition in A1GP this season.
Seat-holder Jung-Yong Kim, whose entry first announced at the Shanghai A1GP event in April, said: “Launching A1 Team Korea will open a new chapter in Korea’s automotive industry, and add pride for our nation. We want to popularise motorsports in Korea, and the nation versus nation concept is ideal.”
Slipping SUV sales hurting carmakers - SUVs enjoy some of the industry’s best margins
Toyota is posting a profit warning after seeing North American and European sales slip dramatically on the slippery back of rising oil prices.
According to the world’s largest automaker, their profit shrank by 28 per cent in the first quarter to USD3.2 billion while their operating income fell by 38.9 per cent.
They cited two main reasons for the drop in profit, the first is rising materials cost while the second contributing factor was the shift in consumer preference from large and profitable SUVs to smaller and more economical cars that gives carmakers a lot slimmer profit margins.

Oil prices on the global market dips below USD125 per barrel
Well, that is a spot of good news but at this point the mater is merely a point of discussion in cabinet so we do not know for sure if it is going to happen, but hope is eternal…
