A bit of news that is slightly surprising. Subaru seems to have never officially sold cars in South Korea before this.

From what I heard from Koreans the import tax for foreign made cars is simply not justifiable. But I believe there are ppl there keen on buying Subaru's performance cars.

This is the correct way to support your local car-manufacturer. Unlike dumbass malaysians who doesnt impose strict import taxes for foreign-made cars and f*ck up their own Proton cars with an influx of cheapass china/korean cars.

When i was in Korea in December, the local tour guide said Samsung have started making and selling cars for 6 years in Korea and only after the 10 year then they can sell it overseas.

  • Christmas colours: What do they actually mean?

    The members of the Sgcarmart media team recently put its heads together to prepare something special and festive for our readers and viewers - which you can both read about and watch on Instagram - and as we were sitting down to plan things out, we were faced at one point with a deceptively simple question: What are the different meanings behind the colours we associate with Christmas?  In my very non-expert eyes, three distinct colours stand out: Red, green and white primarily,

    The Act of Creation

    “WHAT’S A GOOD USERNAME?!” Such was the source of my agony as I was handed a pair of figurative keys to MyAutoBlog.

Oh well. After a good 10 minutes (I think), I decided on this username (a reference I hope someone gets), juvenile and

    Toyota Assure: Keeping you and your car in the best shape

    It's now easier than ever to keep an older Toyota in the best health with the new Toyota Assure programme! Toyota's vehicles are well known for their reliability. But keeping a car in sound operating status involves more than just securing a reliable vehicle to start. Then there's also spare parts and servicing to think about.

    Hard Enduro: The ultimate motorsport?

    I enjoy motorsports of all kinds - four wheels good, two wheels better. And while watching them on TV (okay let's be honest Youtube, who even watches TV nowadays) is fun, getting to partake in anything even remotely resembling it, even in a highly truncated, totally superficial manner, is even more exciting.  Earlier this year, I did a short 2.5 day off-road riding 'tour', and it was easily the hardest, most physically demanding 2.5 days I've ever spent on a motorbike. It really gives you a
