The all-new 2024 Honda CR-V will officially launch in the Philippines on Sept. 13, 2023.

Mitsubishi's obsession with retaining the L300 brand every year is akin to Filipinos' obsession with Voltes V. It's long-standing, occasionally feel-good, sometimes head-scratching, and full of nostalgia. Most local folks feel the same about the Japanese diamond star nameplate.
