Cruise Control returns this week with news about a new Mercedes Benz GLC 300 - now available as an imported edition, Peugeot sprucing things up with a special edition package for their 2008 compact crossovers, as well as Volvo's brand new Certified Damage Repair Centre that just opened in Auto City, Juru in Penang.

We also discuss the coming and going of an American badge seemingly lost in the ASEAN markets, as news of Chevrolet's Blazer EV arriving in our region emerge. We round it off with Daniel's impression of another luxurious family EV, as he took the Mercedes Benz EQC 400 4Matic out for a spin.
