AutoFun Philippines Rearview Roundup: A week of debuts and launches

The year has just begun, and it's already heating up. Click on the highlights to check out the hottest stories from the past week in the automotive world. 

Still mighty in 2023

It's not surprising that the Nissan GT-R still commands attention 16 years after it initial debut. Despite its age, it is still a technological marvel and represents the pinnacle of Nissan technology. A lot of you were interested in how the 2024 Nismo and Premium T-Spec editions fare. As far as facelifts go, this one was quite significant in producing a sleeker, quieter, and more refined Godzilla fit for the times.

Binge watching-worthy flicks

A lot of movies have been made about cars, but who would have thought there were excellent motorcycle-inspired films as well? Thank our Motorcycle Editor, Gilbert Chao, for opening our eyes to a list of top two-wheel-focused clips worthy of a Netflix and chill moment. Bring out the popcorn and enjoy the cool January air as you watch these movies.

Beep-beep

We here at AutoFun Philippines are advocates of safe driving. And we believe safety starts with doing things right. We bet you didn't know there was such a thing as horn etiquette. Well, here we have a list of the instances when it's okay to use your car horn. In other (more civilized) countries, horn use is actually discouraged, deemed offensive, and only allowed in emergencies. We wait for that day to happen in the Philippines.

A hybrid is a hybrid

Subcompact MPVs are the in-thing right now, and the Suzuki Ertiga has been a popular choice over the years. A mild-hybrid version of the trusted small seven-seater is slated for release tomorrow, January 16th. And we can see how interested you are in its specs and price. So here they are again.

Is the Innova's fuel-efficiency enough for you?

You just can't have enough of your Toyota Innova content. We get it. And a lot of you are interested in the 2023 Innova's fuel efficiency. We get that too. Check out what our Autofun Indonesia colleagues discovered about its kilometer-per-liter performance in this popular piece.

A lot happened last week, like the unveiling of the Suzuki Jimny 5-door, the Subaru Solterra EV, and the Mazda MX-30 Rotary Hybrid. Find out how many motorcycles and cars, and SUVs were sold in 2022. Feel free to browse through our news lineup and get yourself updated with the latest in the automotive sphere. 

We can't wait for the new week to start!
