Nissan isn’t just going for a bit of nostalgia at the New York International Auto Show with its heritage-inspired 370Z 50th Anniversary and GT-R 50th Anniversary models, but they’re actually pushing the performance envelope even more. Case in point is the 2020 GT-R NISMO—which is the closest you can get to a road legal GT3 race car.

Few vehicles in the world can be instantly identified by just three letters. But to motoring enthusiasts everywhere, “GT-R” has become synonymous with excitement, high performance, and unparalleled refinement.

Admittedly, Volkswagen is late to the SUV game, but expects to catch up fairly quickly. By 2025, they expect that 50 percent of their sales will be an SUV, compared to about 20 percent today.

The introduction of the carmaker’s first two electric vehicles will pave the way to launch 10 more during the first half of the 2020s.

Ayala, it seems, likes to play guessing games. Earlier this year, it was all about guessing which three (well, now four) vehicles that Kia’s unboxing in 2019. Then, there’s the daily routine of figuring out the best time to flush the toilet and do the laundry (thanks Manila Water). And now, the game has extended to which two Volkswagen SUVs they’re bringing in.

Prepare to be confused because the world is getting an all-new Chevrolet Trailblazer, and this is not the same Trailblazer we know and love here in the Philippine market.

Looking back, it’s hard to believe that the current Mazda6 has been around since 2013. Six years is an eternity in automotive terms, but Mazda seems to have found the fountain of youth here. Technically, the 2019 model is sort-of an in-between model, bridging the gap between the current 6th generation models and the upcoming 7th generation ones. Call it a 6.5th generation if you will, but whatever the label, it’s aging gracefully.

At its biggest global market of China, Volkswagen is launching an SUV offensive and it’s one that’s expected to make a dramatic impact to its operations in the Philippines.

With more and more marketplace channels popping up, buying and selling has become easier and more accessible. So much so that practically anything can be purchased online—even cars. However, the question remains as to exactly how authentic that luxury vehicle you saw on your favorite online store is. A meet-up would usually answer that concern, but if you’re talking millions in value, getting down to the grit is the only solution.

You can look at this as the opportunity of a lifetime or you can look at this as one of the nervous experiences you’ll ever face in your professional career.

The popularity of high-trim variants like the Wildtrak and Raptor says a lot about how Filipinos treat pickup trucks. Instead of being something like a workhorse, they fulfill the role of status symbol.

So where does that leave lesser trim models?
