2025 Honda Civic Type R Grows Up With Black Package
We love the Honda Civic Type R FL5 (read our review). But, if there’s one complaint we have against it, it’s that there’s just too much red inside. This is all part of the Type R lore, we know, but extending the red not just to the seats, but to the carpets is a bit much to the eyes. Seems there are many who agree because Honda’s come up with the Civic Type R Black Package.

Review: 2025 Toyota Yaris Cross 1.5 S HEV
How’s this for a dilemma? Priced at P 1.604 million, the Yaris Cross 1.5 S HEV is more expensive than the base Corolla Cross 1.8 G HEV. That difference, mind you, is significant as the spread between these two models is P 96,000. For a new car buyer, that could mean covering the cost of insurance or scoring a decent set of aftermarket wheels and tires. As one of the few instances in the local auto industry where you have two closely-sized products overlapping one another in terms of price, it begs you to ask: should you go for the smaller but well-kitted crossover or should you go for the bigger but barebones larger SUV?

Mazda6 Returns As All-Electric Sedan With A Big Help From China
Mazda has launched an all-new version of the Mazda6 sedan for Europe, and it’s electric. While that sounds like good news, there’s a catch and it’s a big one. See, the Mazda6e, as it’s called, is not 100 percent a Mazda through and through, but rather, it’s built off a platform and runs on a powertrain developed by Changan in China.
