Nissan Philippines Can Order You a 2020 Nissan GT-R NISMO (w/ Specs)

Twelve years is a long time, but more so in the fast-paced world of performance motoring. Yet, the Nissan GT-R looks to be taking things in stride, adding a bit of performance (and price increase) here and there. Well, for those who want what could be the ultimate swansong for the R35 model, there’s the 2020 Nissan GT-R NISMO. And yes, you can get one for the Philippine market.

In time for their centenary celebration, Bentley shows off the future of luxury grand touring with the Bentley EXP 100 GT concept. Though purely a concept car at this point, the EXP 100 GT shows luxury that’s sustainable, autonomous, and electric.

Someone is Selling His 2020 Toyota GR Supra for P 5.35 million

You want that 2020 Toyota GR Supra now? Like right now? Well, that’s going to cost you. With limited supply and big hype, gorging would-be buyers was bound to happen; but no one expected it to happen less than 24 hours after its Philippine unveil. But happen it did.

If shedding a tear for Paul Walker still wasn’t enough for you to consider the Subaru Forester XT, well, this is your absolutely final last chance to snag one before they go away for good. And if you’ve been sitting around, waiting for the best deal, well it just happened.

Fans of the Montero Sport won’t have to wait long for a refresh as Mitsubishi Motors Corporation confirmed a July 25, 2019 launch date along with a teaser photo.

Look at that badge and sear the image into your brain, because you might be seeing more of it pretty soon. At the Philippine launch of the 2020 Supra, Toyota Motor Philippines was adamant in referring to their flagship sportscar not as “Supra” but as “GR Supra.” A glance at the media kit, brochure, and all other marketing material confirms this. So, what gives? Why such emphasis on “GR?”

Light-emitting diodes or LEDs has become the wonderchild of automotive headlight technology. Praised for their more compact size and smaller power draw, they’ve made possible a lot of new lighting applications in today’s cars such as adaptive headlights, sequential signal lights, and auxiliary driving lamps.

Want to Buy a 2020 Toyota GR Supra? Here's Everything You Need to Know (w/ Brochure)

Enough of the leaks (both from the Batangas Port and dealers) and race track cameos, the 2020 Supra is finally in Manila and if your urge still hasn’t waned, here’s everything you need to know about Toyota Motor Philippines’s new flagship sportscar.

Last month, we showed you how the refreshed 2019 Navara pickup truck looks like (at least for the European market). Now that it’s on sale there, Nissan has released more details on its new features, one of which could make its way to the Terra SUV.

With all the hype that surrounded the Type-R in recent years, the standard Honda Civic seemed to have gotten lost in all the fanfare. Considering how, before the CR-V ever came along and became its top seller, the Civic was one of Honda’s finest. Admittedly, after growing up on the fifth-generation Civic, the succeeding generations waned in terms of aesthetic appeal, compared to their predecessors. It lost that sporty, racer-edged design formula that made it uniquely a Honda. That, however, has begun to change.

The all-new 2020 Land Rover Defender is said to carryover one unique design cue from the previous-generation model: the availability of different wheelbases. The report, which comes from Autoblog (via Autocar India) says the iconic SUV will be offered in three different sizes.

For a while, Hyundai only offered two kinds of Kona SUVs in the market: one propelled by a typical internal combustion engine, and one that swaps that for a battery electric motor. Now though, the Korean automaker has added a third option and one that bridges the gap between the two: meet the Kona Hybrid.

The Mazda Atenza has Ceased Production

The Mazda Atenza has ceased production. This may seem like shocking news, but for those thinking of getting the recently-launched 2019 Mazda6, don’t worry, because it’s only the nameplate that’ll be disappearing.

Volkswagen has successfully unlocked the potential of electric cars with its state-of-the-art ID.R, breaking the 20-year hill climb record at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed.

At its annual press meeting, Honda outlined its accomplishments towards their 2030 Vision. Aside from talk about increased electrification, the automaker also committed to improving the safety of its vehicles, and thus, will increase the availability of its Honda Sensing suite across more models. Peculiarly, this includes a retrofit kit.

The Hyundai Motor Group is pushing its engine technology to a new direction with the announcement of the world’s first Continuously Variable Valve Duration (CVVD) technology which will go into both future Hyundai and Kia vehicles starting with the Sonata’s 1.6-liter Smartstream G engine.

Isuzu Philippines Corporation (IPC) showed its unwavering support for the country’s PUV Modernization program by joining the LTFRB Modern PUV Caravan 2019. The event is a multisectoral program aimed to promote the nationwide adoption of modernized PUVs for a cleaner, safer, more efficient, and more organized mass transport system.

Why You So Naughty, Mazda Philippines?

Oh, Mazda Philippines, why you so naughty? At its recently-held launch for the updated Mazda6 Sports Wagon and turbocharged Mazda6 sedan, the company talked about a lot of things except for one thing—a feature that’s actually standard across the entire revised Mazda6 range, and one that makes its local debut in this very vehicle.

Just like Honda Cars Philippines, Toyota Motor Philippines has also quietly raised their prices effective this month. The increase, just like in Honda’s case, accounts for just 1-2 percent. However, it covers pretty much the entire line-up sans the Corolla Altis and the recently-launched 2019 Avanza.

Motor Image Pilipinas, Inc., is inviting everyone to experience the 4 core technologies of Subaru at the Subaru Ultimate Test Drive (SUTD) series. The best news? Aside from its inaugural leg in Manila, it’s also heading to Visayas and Mindanao as well.

Now is the time to make your dream come true! Auto Nation Group, Inc., the exclusive distributor of Mercedes-Benz passenger vehicles and trucks in the country is offering a segment-first: zero downpayment.

Foton Motor Philippines (FMPI) officially inaugurated its 29th dealership located along the busy stretch of McArthur Highway in Dau, Mabalacat, Pampanga: Foton Metro Clark. The new dealership will provide Foton’s full range of products and services for its passenger vehicles to light-duty trucks.

After finishing this year’s 24-hour Nürburgring Endurance Race, Toyota Gazoo Racing has announced that they’re launching a new racecar based on the Supra road car: the GR Supra GT4. Based on the GR Supra GT4 Concept shown at the Geneva Motor Show, this racecar is destined for customers and privateer teams.

Metro Manila is a Sh*t Hole for Accidents, Floods

Residing or working in Makati or Mandaluyong? Well, here’s some bad news for you: you’re more likely to encounter a crash or floods. The data was recently revealed by Waze, the community-based road navigation app in collaboration with Thinking Machines, a data science consultancy company.

Ford Performance, with the help of Multimatic, a Canada-based engineering company has come up with the Ford GT Mk II, a limited edition (of a limited edition) supercar that’s destined only for the race track.
