Review: 2025 Mitsubishi Xforce GT
Among legacy carmakers, Mitsubishi is perhaps the most conservative one. Edgy marketing aside, their product line-up can be best described as “safe.” No one, not even your mother-in-law, will question you for getting an Xpander, Montero Sport, or L300. They’re quite alright, if a bit pulseless when it comes to overall design and execution. Lately, they’re trying to shake that image off and that’s why you get vehicles like the all-new Triton and the Xforce.

Review: 2025 Lexus LBX
You’re looking at the smallest car Lexus has ever built and with that, there’s so much riding on it; so much so that it’s been bestowed with the first three-letter Lexus model name since the glorious LFA. After all, not only is it designed as a new entry point to would-be Lexus considerers, but it’s also the brand’s attempt to win over a younger audience. No pressure.

Review: 2025 BYD Seal Performance
With a name like “Seal,” you don’t know exactly what you’d expect with this executive sedan from BYD. After all, conjuring up mental images of a blubbery, somewhat cutesy marine mammal doesn’t help things, especially when this is supposed to be a sports sedan offering. Naming aside, there’s the price tag too: at P 2.548-million for the Seal Performance, it’s the most expensive non-Dynasty model BYD currently offers in the market.

Look Away Subaru Outback Fans, This Is What The All-New Version Looks Like For 2026
The Subaru Outback has always been quirky. In a world of boxy, lookalike mid-sized SUVs, it always had a distinctly wagon-like silhouette; something it has carried for more than 30 years. A big reason, of course, was that it was based off the Legacy. However, with Subaru putting their mid-sized sedan to pasture, what does Subaru do with their all-new, seventh-generation Outback? Give it a boxy, lookalike silhouette like everyone else.
