The Mitsubishi Montero Sport is one of the most popular SUVs in the local market, and it’s not surprising that multiple car clubs bear its name. We had the privilege of joining one of the said clubs in an important gathering last August 27, 2023. The Montero Sport Pilipinas (MSP) celebrated its 4th anniversary last August 27.

In fact, several buyers are still waiting for unit allocations at their respective dealers three months later, and it doesn’t seem like there will be a surplus any time soon. That said, Nissan Philippines should capitalize on the viral momentum o

When we first saw the photos of the upcoming 2023 Honda Pilot, we had to double-check the badges. Viewed from the rear, you would not be faulted for thinking that it should have a “Blue Oval” because it is a dead ringer for the previous-generation Ford Everest. This is most apparent in the rear taillight design that is also connected by a large strip that carries the model name.
