We don’t mean to play favorites here, but if we’re going to choose two Toyota models suitable to the everyday commuter, durability, ample features, and an attractive “mass appeal” exterior, then it would be the Toyota Rush and Toyota Avanza.

The Philippines had the privilege of hosting the global launch of the 2019 Toyota Hiace, which ushered in the sixth generation of the long-running van model.

There’s one similarity that both the Toyota Hilux and Isuzu D-Max share–they’re both capable and tough pickup trucks. Yes, these two formidable workhorses are the ones you should go to if brawn is what you’re after. What’s more, their impressive features are enough to make you happy and contented on …

They’re both user-friendly, spacious, and yes–HUGE. But what sets both of them apart is that they’re a bit more elegant than the rest of those generic passenger and utility vans we commonly see today. And if you want to add a dash of elegance and style while braving the horrendous …

Both the Chevrolet Trailblazer and Isuzu mu-X are successful SUV nameplates in the Philippines, but did you know that they share the same platform?

The all-new Suzuki Jimny is here! Well, sort of. Despite being the main attraction at the Suzuki booth in this year’s PIMS, Suzuki Philippines hasn’t yet gone all-out in its marketing for its new-generation 4×4. Not that they have to, considering the massive buzz that the car has already generated. …
