Largely wonderful weather this last week! As the holiday season draws near, it’s been clear skies with cool, refreshing breezes that can help us lay off the air-conditioning (and, consequently, bring our sky-high electric bills down). Despite the chilliness rolling in, it’s been a hot week for one Asian carmaker – and for once, it isn’t from China! Hyundai Philippines launched two new models last week and is mulling over bringing even more. The South Korean company is among your five favorite st

Ever wanted the ultimate Porsche 911 for the track, but don’t want to shell out for a full-blown grand touring race car? The all-new 2023 Porsche 911 GT3 RS may just be what you’re looking for.

But with the RS, you get huge cooling vents on the front lid, the fenders and air intakes on the rear fenders, much like in the 911 Turbo. In addition, i

The Hyundai Eon was ultimately pulled out of production for not meeting safety-emission regulations, much to the disappointment of the fun-loving folks out there who came to regard the uncomplicated "driving-aesthetics" of the aforementioned, er, small car.
