Disclosure: Honda Cars Philippines Inc. kindly lent me a 2023 Honda Civic Type R FL5 for nine days. It arrived with a full tank of fuel and loaded RFID cards. AutoFun Philippines paid for additional fuel, toll, and a carwash. The word “legend” gets thrown around an awful lot nowadays. Social media is awash with so-called legends, supposedly because they achieved some incredible metric online (a gazillion followers/subscribers) or for some insane (and often extremely dangerous) act.

Mitsubishi has been quiet about its upcoming pickup truck, the 2024 Mitsubishi Triton, with the Japanese brand only releasing teaser images. However, things have changed as the automaker has released a quick trailer to showcase the off-road capabilities of the all-new Triton.

After 15 years in the market, the impressive thing about the Nissan GT-R is its evolving performance. Not only has it continued to be known as "Godzilla," a nickname granted by various television programs, magazines, and automotive publications about its predecessor, b

The Toyota Hilux has been one of those popularly reliable workhorses in the US that gets the job done in any form of weather with an awesome pulling power that supports 3500kg of the cargo load.
