“Here it is: the all-new 11th-generation Honda Civic. Well, the prototype at least. The car is a big deal, so in case you’re wondering how its launch could possibly have been missed, it’s because the Japanese automaker introduced it today on Twitch.
“First impressions? This compact sedan is definitely attractive. A few days ago, we said that we hoped Honda would not stray too far from the sporty tone of the current generation if it decided to go a little more premium, and thankfully, this is the case. The expensive The new car’s is less aggressive than its predecessor, but the car still has a very energetic vibe.

“Up front, you’ll find a familiar sight: a bold grille with a glossy black crossbar flanked by sleek taillights. The latter now have a less angry look and are based on the sedan’s cleaner overall look.
“The hood is also noticeably longer, and the sides sport strong character lines that complement the car’s sleek roofline, while the rear has ditched the sleek C-shaped taillights in favor of a more conventional look.” .
“Would you mind guessing what vehicle this is? Here’s a hint: it’s spelled TERRA.
“All right, Nissan It doesn’t specify exactly which model it’s teasing, and the Japanese automaker hasn’t provided much in terms of images here, but we think the little that has been shown is enough to conclude that this is the refreshed Terra midsize SUV.
“Well, we’re 99% sure it’s the Terra. Fortunately, we won’t have to wait long for a full confirmation as the vehicle will be revealed on November 25, 2020. Mark your calendars.
“Observations? It appears the SUV has adopted a four-projector headlight setup similar to that of the recently revealed Nissan Navara. The daytime running lights, as you’ve probably noticed, look a bit like the ones on the pre-upgrade model. “
“We all wait patiently for him, and now he’s finally here. Ladies and gentlemen, feast your eyes on the new Subaru BRZ.
“This Subie debuts with a sportier face than ever. For the most part, it retains the shape of its predecessor, but now has rounder headlights and a wider, albeit slimmer, grille flanked by some sleek new air intakes.
“At the rear, the BRZ features a new ducktail spoiler, redesigned taillights and a more pronounced rear bumper. This bumper still houses the twin tailpipes that remain intact. Underneath, the sports car has a choice of 17-inch or 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels.
“Inside, in addition to the cosmetic changes, the BRZ has a new seven-inch customizable digital dash and an eight-inch Subaru Starlink infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. And of course the car also includes the complete Subaru EyeSight package. “
“The Honda Jazz is not just a hatchback. Here in the Philippines, it’s the hatchback. The model has been practically synonymous with the segment since it was launched in the early 2000s, so all this talk about the possible exit of the vehicle from the local market has us a little depressed.
“Wait, haven’t you heard? There’s talk online that the new Honda Jazz won’t make it to the Philippines (or a slew of other Southeast Asian markets where it’s available), where the soon-to-be-revealed City hatchback will take its place.
“If this turns out to be the case, it will be a huge bummer for Jazz fans. Many people, including us, were looking forward to the car, and this news could come as a big surprise to many. However, such a decision would make sense. “
“The movement towards electrification is gaining momentum. Many countries plan to ban the sale of gasoline and diesel cars in just a decade. In that context, this Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 appears to represent the dinosaurs roaring fiercely against the asteroid.
“It is the first time in almost 40 years that Jeep has installed V8 engines in its halo product on the production line. The V8 in question is sized at 6.4 liters, or 392 cubic inches, hence the name.

“The Lexus IS will always have a special place in the hearts of motorists. The name was introduced more than 20 years ago when it was also called the Toyota Altezza, and its clear taillights sparked a JDM design trend during that time. The second-generation IS gave us the IS F, a sublime sports sedan with a 5.0-liter V8 tuned by Yamaha.
“The current IS is not far behind. Introduced to the Philippine market in 2013 with a track day event, it got sports car owners a look at it twice thanks to its 306 hp 3.5-liter NA V6. But while the third-generation IS has aged well, seven years is a long time.
“Well, the long wait for change ends today when Lexus Philippines unveils the massively revamped 2021 Lexus IS sedan. There are still two variants in the lineup: the IS F Sport that retains the charming 3.5-liter V6, and a new hybrid variant, the IS 300h.
And what a face lift. The new face sports a massive new grille with a stance that is 30mm wider than the protruding fascia. The rear profile has taillights that taper into a thin line down the center. Both the IS F Sport and the 300h have 19-inch alloys; the former has a dark premium metallic design, while the latter has a shiny silver metallic finish. ”
“There is no show floor, no problem. Ford has revealed that it is bringing its A-game to the Special Equipment Manufacturing Association (SEMA) show this year despite the absence of actual physical displays. Welcome to the new normal, people.
The automaker flaunts these rides during the two-day Ford Auto Nights SEMA broadcast: Mad Industries Bronco Sport, the Bronco Badlands Sasquatch 2, a F-150 Limited Hybrid SuperCrew, the Ranger XLT Tremor SuperCrew, and the Mustang Mach-E 1400.
“That’s a great lineup, but our favorite this year has to be the Sasquatch. We’ve seen our fair share of neat Bronco builds since the SUV made its debut in July 2020, and this version of the iconic off-roader is definitely one of our favorites. It is intended to showcase the modular foundations of the vehicle, with interchangeable components, 3D-printed parts, and an open-air design. The MAD Bronco Sport, meanwhile, comes with a dirt trailer and equipment in tow. “
“Nissan continues to improve its line in other markets. There’s the revamped Navara, the new Kicks e-Power, and the new Qashqai. Now, it has introduced another updated model: the Micra.
“This is the fifth-generation model of Nissan’s popular city car, and the Japanese automaker is revamping its range for 2021. There are only subtle design changes, but Nissan has announced that a new N-Design setting is available and that the N-sport The fit is now also a mainstay on the Micra roster, joining the Visia, Acenta and Tekna variants.
“The N-Sport has gloss black front, side and rear trim, some new black mirror caps, and 17-inch black Perso alloy wheels. LED headlights and fog lights in the front now also come standard. Inside, it has a completely black interior with Alcantara inserts. “
“Welcome Internet, to the brand new Nissan Qashqai. Woah, don’t get too excited there.
“The third generation of Nissan’s crossover will arrive in spring 2021 (between March and April), replacing the ridiculously popular second generation that has sold more than a million units since its introduction in 2014.
“It’s still being tested, hence the camouflage photos here, but Nissan has released some initial details. So here goes …
“It will be based on the new CMF-C platform and will only be 35mm longer than the outgoing version. The trunk space will benefit from that, 50 liters larger than before. The doors, front wings and bonnet will now also be made of aluminum, so the white bodywork will be 60kg lighter and 41% stiffer than before. “
“If you’ve ever considered the SsangYong Tivoli but deleted it from your list due to the lack of a gasoline variant, you may want to reconsider. The Korean automaker just announced that the crossover is once again available with a gasoline engine.
“With a P1,120,000 price tag, new SsangYong Tivoli Gas Sport it sits squarely between the 1.6-liter Diesel Premium and the 1.6-liter Diesel Sport. Contains a 1.6-liter e-XDGi160 gasoline engine capable of up 126 hp at 4,000 rpm and 160 Nm between 1,500 and 2,500 rpm mated to a six-speed automatic transmission.
“The units feature a compact form factor and 167mm ground clearance, a combination that makes the model a viable option for the tight Philippine environment. The Tivoli Gas Sport also comes with the same 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility found on the top-of-the-line diesel variant. “
