Still, not everyone can afford the fancy exotic cars you see in Interesting Car Spotting PH. So, why not look at some new and attainable vehicles that have graced our market? After all, the Chiron isn’t practical as a daily driver, wouldn’t you agree? Toyota Raize The Toyota Raize is someone’s vague idea of what a turbocharged, Wigo-based SUV should be – the idea of off-road

The very first story I wrote for AutoFun Philippines, after a four-year hiatus as a motoring journalist, was about Republic Act 11697 or the "Electric Vehicle Industry Development Act."
