Form is very important to the Filipino buyer. Case in point is the 2021 Kia Stonic. While crossovers are all the rage these days, the choices below the sub-million-peso range are slim. Thus, in an enlightened moment of product genius, Kia took the Rio/Soluto, raised its ride height then added roof rails and plastic wheel arches. The result is this: one hip, fashionable, and above all, an unbeatable value-for-money soft-roader. Watch out, sub-compact sedans, this one’s going after your lunch money.

Petrol Heads Do Dream of Electric Cars: Driving the 2021 Porsche Taycan Turbo S

A few hours after I launch-controlled the Porsche Taycan Turbo S, I swear my head still hurt. The acceleration is, frankly, violent and unrelenting. The last time I felt my innards get re-arranged like this, I was strapped in a Le Mans race car. Yet, the Taycan isn’t a big-engined, high-downforce supercar. It is, in fact, quite the opposite. It’s a four-door, four-seater fastback that doesn’t emit much noise. It doesn’t even sport an engine, at least in the traditional sense. What it is, is environmentally-friendly motoring done the high-performance Porsche way.

A few hours aren’t enough to take in the majesty of BMW’s flagship SUVs, or in their parlance, Sport Activity Vehicles—the X5 and the X7.

When Honda released the current-generation CR-V in the Philippines, their marketing always centered around two things: diesel power and seven seats. True enough, these two phrases are almost magical to the typical Filipino buyer who wanted something aspirational, yet practical. But what if you’re not the typical Filipino buyer?
