Initially making its debut at the 2023 Gaikindo International Auto Show (GIIAS), Hyundai Philippines is set to launch the all-new Hyundai Stargazer X on October 16, 2023. But wait, there is more as the South Korean automaker, through an official invite/ teaser image, has revealed that it is also launching another new vehicle alongside the SUV-fied Stargazer.

Year in and year out, day in and day out, the Mitsubishi L-300 can be relied upon to deliver on its uncompromising standard of reliability. The one word that best describes this unassuming workhorse. Bragging rights aside, the knowledge about the said car’s reliability especially in logistic-delivery operations has been greatly acknowledged throughout the years by the striving hordes of Filipino businessmen who were keen on trying to make a decent living out of this reliably-multi-purpose utilit
