The Road Ahead
We're identifying trends that will change the nature of travel. We're looking at technology, of course, along with urbanization, health and environmental issues, and poverty.

Mitsubishi Endeavor American size, Japanese soul
If there’s any car segment that is truly beginning to bend the borders of its category, it’s definitely the SUV division. No other niche has stretched in both directions (towards both car and truck extremes) quite like it.

Norkis MTT Spider mini–cars to invade Boracay
Norkis Group of Companies will soon be invading Boracay Island in Aklan not with Japanese-brand motorcycles which they are known for, but with the new MTT Spiders that will transport tourists around the small paradise island.

Mitsubishi introduces 2 more Strada variants
After capturing 55.4 percent of the market in the 4x4 pickup category, Mitsubishi Motors Philippines is now poised to strengthen its market leadership in the total pickup segment with the addition of the top-of-class 3.2 liter 4x4 and the 2.5 liter 4x2 variants.

Image and performance
While some do it to improve the aesthetics of their ride, most tuning enthusiasts equip their cars with lightweight, wide or bigger set of rims and tires to improve vehicle stability during high performance or wet weather driving. TSW is popular in Europe but is also a major force in North and South America, New Zealand and South Africa. Wheel Gallery brings TSW to the Philippines.

From The Backseat
Permit us this week to turn to art and to celebrate young local artists.

Breaking the rules
The Ford Focus shook up the European compact car category when the first generation debuted in 1998, bringing cutting-edge styling and razor-sharp handling to the class. The car was wildly anticipated in the Philippines, such that Ford enthusiastically launched the second-generation Focus in 2005.

Chequered Flag
Felipe Massa and Kimi Raikkonen scored a resounding one-two in Sunday’s Turkish Grand Prix on the outskirts of Istanbul.

Marcelo rules Asian Karting Championship
Karting ace Stefano Marcelo won round three of the Premiere Open 125 Class of the Asian Karting Championship series held in Sentul, Indonesia last week.

Drift king retains title
Reigning drift car champion Alex Perez continued to dominate the drifting scene as he clinched the top award once again in the final round of the 2007 Lateral Drift Championship held recently at the Cultural Center of Philippines complex in Pasay City recently.
