So you already have an SUV to perform the family duties, and you're on the lookout for a weekend toy. Something that's sporty to drive yet turns heads. Something that will look right at home at a golf club, but equally happy to pound the twisties on the weekend. Enter the Audi TTS, the 'S' being the acronynm that makes this car a bit more special. More than just a pretty face, the TTS packs 290 PS and 380 Nm from its 2.0-litre TFSI engine, paired with a twin clutch transmission and Quattro all-w

Parallel imported or recon (reconditioned) cars have been a part of (read: plagued) the Malaysian automotive industry for as long as the industry existed. Many have turned to these unauthorised and unofficial distributors for their significantly lower car prices – it’s not unusual to see grey import cars being 30 to 40% cheaper than officially imported cars. A small number of consumers turn to the grey market to secure a particular model variant, for example, an Audi RS6 Avant that’s not sold by

Following the VW Arteon’s unveiling yesterday, we also came across the rather quiet launch of the swoopy 2020 Audi Q3 Sportback on Audi Malaysia's website. Essentially, the Sportback is the stylish brother of the current Q3. It gets a snazzy new visual package all-around and of course, had its roof lopped off for that coupe look.

Audi did not start off as the luxury car brand that we know of today. Back in the 60s, before the Audi started competing with luxury brands like Mercedes-Benz and BMW, Audi was rolling out affordable cars like the small hatchback Audi 50. Which… Volkswagen later took and rebadged into the Volkswagen Polo. Say what? But it’s true! The first Volkswagen Polo introduced to the world back in 1975 was actually a rebadged Audi 50. This is because when Volkswagen decided that it was time to start adding
