In the news this week, we discuss Great Wall Motor's purchase of a former General Motors car plant in Rayong, Thailand, and Geely's futuristic new design concept called the Vision Starburst.

As for car launches, we discuss the all-new, all-electric BMW i4, the KIA Sportage, two new Compact Trucks in the form of a Hyundai Santa Cruz and Ford Maverick, and the RM2.1 million (w/o tax) Ferrari SF90 Spider.

Finally, our Used Car Review looks at the Honda HR-V and how impressive it remains - even as a used example.
