Mitsubishi Motors Shows Off 2023 Xpander Cross
When Mitsubishi Motors unveiled the refreshed Xpander globally in 2021, there was some visible confusion as to why its SUV-derivative, the Xpander Cross didn’t get the same slew of changes. While it did see a minor update, it didn’t get the aggressive new front fascia. Apparently, the Japanese carmaker just bided their time as two years later, they have finally unveiled the 2023 Xpander Cross.

Review: 2022 Mazda CX-5 AWD Turbo
Mazda has found the fountain of youth with the current-generation CX-5. It’s hard to believe but the current generation of their compact SUV has been around for five years already. A minor update in 2019 (for the 2020 model year) did freshen things a bit, but given the competitiveness of this segment, it’s a surprise how its foundations have remained solid.

Wheel Gallery, Method Race Wheels Visits Top Guns Of The Philippine Air Force
Inspired by the recent Top Gun: Maverick movie, the team at Wheel Gallery – the Official Distributor of Method Race Wheels – thought it would be awesome to showcase their 4x4 rigs beside the Top Guns of the Philippine Air Force. This was made a reality with the help of Col. Edison “Bong” Nebrija, Commander New Task Force Special Operations and Anti Colorum Unit of the MMDA who was a formal Naval Aviator himself. He connected the team with the Philippine Air Force and after much scrutiny, approval was granted for an epic photoshoot with the 5th Fighter Wing of the Philippine Air Force at our very own “Fightertown” - Basa Air Base in Floridablanca, Pampanga.
Review: 2022 Changan CS75 Plus
Life be beautiful like summer flowers and death like autumn leaves. It’s weird to open this review with a poem by Rabindranath Tagore, but given how it’s so prominently displayed on the Changan CS75 Plus’ touchscreen each time you turn it on, it’s got to mean something. And after a week of driving it, I think I’ve got it. The poem, which talks about the fleeting nature of life, also happens to aptly summarize this compact SUV.
