This week on Cruise Control our petrolheads look ahead to an all-new Toyota Vios, which is set to rock the local market judging by the half-a-million units that are on the roads. The popular family sedan comes with a new look plus a longer wheelbase while still maintaining its modest 1.5 litre engine. Also new in the market is Peugeot's debut in the pick up truck department, unveiling the turbo diesel powered Landtrek truck; while Honda prepares to phase out their seven-seater BR-V to make way for a new challenger, the region-focused compact crossover WR-V.
