“In this business, you gotta have a tough skin.” This is what Visor.Ph Editor-in-Chief Vernon Sarne told me at last week's BMW M2 launch event. Chief, as I fondly call him to this day (he got me to join Top Gear Philippines magazine as a cover photographer and writer back in 2010), has seen it all and has been through wars ordinary people would have waived the white flag early on.

Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) is bringing back the racing hype through its flagship TOYOTA GAZOO Racing (TGR) programs for local racing talents, fans, and enthusiasts. The Japanese automaker is officially opening its 2023 racing season for its premier one-make-race series, the TGR Vios Cup, and its biggest national e-motorsports championship, the TGR Gran Turismo (GT) Cup Philippines.

With a little help from Photoshop, we were able to bring to light exterior details like the hexagonal front grill and the aggressive lower bumper openings. But reporters from Indonesian outlet Kompas were able to capture a fairly large Toy

There are many car models available in the market today. Each with its own peculiarities and unique selling proposition. While the more expensive models are not up my alley, I do know there are reasons why some cars are priced higher than others. And while they all basically take people from point A to B, premium models like the Toyota Camry Hybrid can either be a value for money proposition, or an unwise purchase. But as I began to understand what made each car worth its price tag, it dawned up
