With shabby workmanship, questionable aftersales (if there were any) and non-existent warranties, the QQ was China’s first ma

The latest generation of the Honda CR-V crossover will be unveiled in Thailand on March 2023. And it won't look exactly like the US market spec revealed last year. In fact, the exterior is more similar to the Dongfeng Honda-built CR-V which we previewed last year. Our friends at sister publication WapCar Malaysia reported that the CR-V will make its ASEAN debut at the upcoming Bangkok International Motor Show, which will be held from March 22 to April 2, 2023.

Two years since its public debut in the Philippines, the Ford Territory remains one of Ford Philippines' top-selling models. With 3,691 units sold in the first half of 2022, the Ford Territory has cornered a 52% market share in the small SUV segment.
