YESTERDAY was the 28 November 2024, and the day marked an important milestone for BMW Group Malaysia and what I believe is also an important hallmark for the Malaysian automotive industry. The group commemorated the 20th Year Anniversary of the BMW Group Regional Parts Distribution Centre in Malaysia, marking this significant milestone with a landmark expansion of the very modern facility, located at the Free Industrial Zone of the Senai International Airport in Johor Bahru.
OMODA, a brand under Chery, has announced a collaboration with Universal Pictures in celebration of the studio’s new cinematic event, Wicked. OMODA and Universal Pictures are embarking on a journey into magical worlds. Based on the generation-defining, blockbuster stage musical, Wicked is the untold story of the witches of Oz.
In this collaboration, OMODA has specially created two car wraps themed to the film: the OMODA E5 Green Witch edition and the OMODA 5 Pink Witch edition. These art wraps feature the characters of Elphaba and Glinda on each of the respective vehicles, Who these characters are, I personally don't know as I usually watch people with laser guns, guns, spaceships or action heroes blow things up. But if you are a fan of musicals and all things magical, Wicked is for you. The cars however, I can drive to and from magical places (if you're one of those fellas that think a nice B-road is magical then you're like me).
SAIC Motor Malaysia recently announced the official pricing for the all-new MG HS SUV now available in both Standard and Lux variants with attractive starting prices of RM129,900 and RM145,900 respectively. I have to say that this adds more variety to the Malaysian SUV segments in the below RM150K range and things will really heat up. And at the moment, I prefer either an ICE or internal combustion engines or hybrids over full electric for a purchase, and this hits the spot. Especially with a turbocharged petrol engine.
