Perodua & UMW Toyota Respond To Whistleblower Claims

Cruise Control returns this week to usher in the arrival of Hyundai's brand new compact SUV, the Creta. The fully imported car jumps straight into the competitive B-segment, so it remains to be seen how it will perform in the market given its relatively high price.

We also discuss last week's big news on a whistleblower's claim of 'procedural irregularities' practiced by Toyota and Daihatsu, to examine its impact on the respective brands' presence in the market. We round it off with Daniel's top tips on a second hand deal for a 2016 edition of Volvo's XC 90 T8.
