Hyundai Motors Indonesia unveiled the Stargazer X at the GAIKINDO Indonesia International Auto Show on August 10, 2023 with two variants available in its domestic market.

Like other manufacturers, Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. has employed the same marketing tactic over the years to drum-up excitement for its upcoming releases. What makes the 2023 Honda BR-V port-arrival photo interesting though is that it comes at a time when Honda Philippines, and indeed the whole automotive industry, i

They say don't buy a Honda because you'll waste your money on parts and maintenance. Buy a Mitsubishi or Toyota instead. While this is quite logical as some Honda clients would agree, Honda has made a workaround to keep their clients, and to attract potential ones as well, with a new PMS scheme that is more competitive than other manufacturers like Toyota or Mitsubishi. These two brands actually ask their clients to come in for their cars' PMS about 4 times a year. And if you drive long distance
