      The Volkswagen Beetle (Somehow) Still Lives On As A GWM

      GWM has even recently updated its Beetle-clone with more power… and possibly a new name.  While Volkswagen may have bid adieu to the Beetle just before Covid, its iconic shape actually still (somehow) lives on to this day. Such is because in China at least, one can still purchase an Ora Ballet Cat from GWM… which bears more than a striking resemblance to the iconic vee-dub Bug. Now to be fair, its design more accurately looks like someone describing the latest-era Beetle over the phone, or perhaps through a really blurry fax. But it nevertheless still stands that one can…

      Honda HR-V 1.5L e:HEV RS: 600 km Weekend Roadtrip Report

      Here’s some of the smaller observations gathered after 600 km behind the wheel of Honda’s hybrid HR-V.  So a little while back, Honda very generously offered this writer the opportunity to spend a few days with the newly-facelifted HR-V e:HEV RS. Though describing it as “facelifted” may admittedly be the big H overselling things slightly here, as the mild titivation performed is (to put it kindly) sufficiently subtle that the full review previously written on its pre-facelift predecessor (linked here) remains largely relevant. As it just so happened however, there was quite a fair bit of driving to be done…

      Perodua Slashes Axia Prices By Up To RM 4,700
