At the recent Chery Technology Day in Wuhu, the Chinese car company explained its global strategy as it ramps up its export business. The nearly two-hour-long set of presentations was so detailed and exhaustive that you'd imagine you were sitting in a board presentation or a marketing sign-off meeting. But it made sense to show it to the 600 or so Chery-brand users and media in attendance. It was a captive audience if ever there was one. El Plan One key observation we made was how Chery seems to

Honda Cars Philippines Inc. (HCPI) made waves when it launched the all-new CR-V on September 2023. Besides being the latest generation of an iconic model, the 2024 Honda CR-V is likewise the first hybrid in the HCPI lineup since the Honda Legend went off into the sunset some years ago. However, many were startled by the CR-V’s pricetag – the non-hybrid 2WD model starts out at ₱2,100,000, while the top-spec hybrid RS e:HEV costs ₱2,590,000 (just slightly undercutting the Toyota RAV4 HEV).

It’s time to say goodbye to the Toyota Camry, at least in Japan. Our friends at WapCar Malaysia reported that the iconic sedan will no longer be sold in The Land of the Rising Sun after 43 years of production because of poor sales in recent years. According to sales data from the Japan Automobile Dealers Association (JADA), the Camry was the 44th best-selling car in the country in 2021 with 10,620 units. It outsold the Honda Accord, which wasn’t even listed in the top 50. But by 2022, even the C

The Nissan GT-R is the ultimate King of JDM. It has proven itself worthy of all the praises and accolades it amassed over the years with its exemplary performance on the track. Since 2007, no other sports car in the world has been named the "Supercar Killer and Godzilla" other than the GT-R. Even before it had proven its superior abilities on the track, former Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn already believed that the 6th generation GT-R would become a global icon for the brand.
