Hyundai i10 noises
The Hyundai i10 is a pretty good small car. It is fun to drive. However, owning can be a different issue. If you're an i10 owner, you probably have had some issues with the car already. Mine's already a year old, and I already have an updated list of complaints....
Car sales drop in May, Mitsubishi leads
Auto sales in the Philippines dropped by 11% in May compared to last year according to a report from the Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines Inc (CAMPI). Blame it to dwindling stocks, not thanks to the earthquake/tsunami/nuclear plant triple-whammy...
Mercedes-Benz M-Class revealed
Check out the new Mercedes-Benz M-class. Probably not too popular here in the Philippines since I haven't actually seen one of these Merc SUVs on Manila roads. Merc's Philippine page has the M-class on display but no other info is really available. Like the price....
Mercedes-Benz Unimog Concept
For us here, Mercedes-Benz has always been a badge associated with the rich. It doesn't really matter if the car's an old model or one of the new bunch, a Chedeng's a Chedeng. Suck on it, peasants! (But yeah, never mind if base Mercs are used as med-rep vehicles and...
MMDA can’t handle Facebook page trolls?
I know the MMDA has got a whole social network department whose job is to take car of its Facebook and Twitter accounts. In fact, I believe they have a lawyer managing it. While, I just think the MMDA failed to learn and apply one of the key online skills - handling...

Mazda to end US ties with Ford
For a long time, Mazda has been working with Ford. The partnership has brought about some pretty interesting picks for the market like in the case of the shared platform for the Mazda3 and the Ford Focus. Now, it seems like Mazda would be ending its ties with the US...

With competition from the Audi A3 and the Mercedes-Benz A-class, German automaker BMW, bolsters its stake in the small hatch market with the new 1-Series. The new car uses the platform architecture found in the new 3-series but BMW restyled the look of the car to be...
It’s still a Vios, douchebag!
This goes out to the guy driving that gaudy Vios along Marcos Highway yesterday. You car doesn't look cool, you look like a pimp and you drive like an ass. It's already one thing to blind us with that atrocious looking car but to endanger our lives on an...
Audi R8 GT Spyder revealed
So we've seen the Audi R8 Spyder being driven around by Tony Stark in last year's Iron Man movie. Maybe this should've been Tony Stark's ride - the more hardcore version of the R8 Spyder - the Audi R8 GT Spyder. The high-performance version is powered by a 5.2L V10...
