The recent “Undas” week gave us all the chance to reflect not only about those who have left us, but also about our own lives. For those who stayed in Metro Manila, it has been a pleasant mix of clear roads, good weather and occasional rain showers. And for those who drove out of town, it was a chance to spend up to a week away from the hustle and bustle of city life. It really makes you wonder about what the Philippines would be like if economic development were spread all throughout the archip

Did you ever wonder how automakers select the names of their cars? We also wondered the same, especially with the influx of Chinese models with odd naming conventions. Typically, the marketing, design, and communications team chooses a car's name to develop a potential name. They consider the vehicle’s looks and the target audience for the car. There is a pattern to how brands name their vehicles per region; European brands often go with letter and number combinations, such as in the case of BMW

The legendary Ralliart brand name, Mitsubishi's in-house high performance, and motorsports division, returns to off-road racing this week at the Asia Cross Country Rally 2022.

The company said the event will feature a dynamic display, an on-road test drive (where most pick-ups and SUVs spend their lives),

When we talk about the Ford Ranger Raptor, it's impossible not to be amused by the prospect of having fun with it. And it's not just because this market favorite is capable of handling arduous terrain and difficult situations, it's also because it reassures you with its power and overall stamina. It's easy to claim that a vehicle made to be driven off-road is a vehicle that is built to carry a heavy load. But it takes tests and in-depth drives to determine which will stand really out from the re

When we talk about prices, we talk about advantages. If we are about to let go of a thousand pesos out of our pockets, what would we get out of it? And if we are to spend more than a million pesos, like a house or a vehicle? How about forking out a whopping PHP2,038,000 for a then brand new Ford Ranger Raptor? Would it have been worth your hard-earned money? Based on looks, the Ford Ranger Raptor has what it takes to cost more than a regular pickup. Certainly more than a regular car. The finish
