The Mitsubishi Montero Sport is one of the most popular SUVs in the local market, and it’s not surprising that multiple car clubs bear its name. We had the privilege of joining one of the said clubs in an important gathering last August 27, 2023. The Montero Sport Pilipinas (MSP) celebrated its 4th anniversary last August 27. Mitsubishi Global City in Taguig very kindly opened its doors on a Sunday so the establishment could serve as the venue. Before the festivities started, we had a chance to

Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) is 35 years old this August 2023. The country’s top automaker in terms of sales is celebrating this milestone in typically spectacular fashion, ranging from promos on its latest models to its two-day Toyota GAZOO Racing Festival at the Quirino Grandstand. We take a look at five of the Japanese company’s most iconic vehicles since 1988. But why not cars from before this year? The pre-Cory years First, a little history lesson.

In the same manner, they also have their weaknesses and flaws that make them less valuable or less capable than their rivals in the same class. Choosing your car doesn’t mean that it has to be acceptable to others that influence you. It also doesn’t have to be aligned to wh

First proof of the FWD Innova? Spotted in Thailand but likely for development Indonesia remains hub for all-new FWD Innova Ever since it supplanted the Toyota Kijang, the Toyota Innova has acquired not as it were the liberal seating course of action so adored by Indonesians but moreover the rear-wheel-drive (RWD) format which is critical given Indonesia’s sloping landscape. In any case, there's a gigantic chance that the next-gen Innova may switch to front-wheel-drive (FWD). Over the weekend, a

The ‘sports utility vehicle’ (SUV) segment may be a bit diluted now with the advent of everyone making small crossovers, but the Toyota Fortuner is a refreshing return to form of what an SUV should be. This 2.8 LTD is the range-topper of the three-variant wide, refreshed Fortuner range. Many have termed it to be a ‘baby Land Cruiser’, but that’s a tag that undercuts how capable this model is.
