This news isn’t a surprise to many, and I’m sure it’s received with mixed opinions: the MMDA has chosen to extend its no-window number coding scheme which was originally implemented during the 2016 Christmas season.
The bestselling Toyota Vios gets a 2017 update, and it’s a refreshing take on what already was a good design. I personally find it to be a sportier look, with the front fascia dominated by the deceptively huge bottom grill. Deceptive, because it appears to be partly solid in the middle; it’s looks much larger by extending the grill accents and keeping eveything in that area solid black.
This is the Ferrari J50. It’s a limited run model, marking 50 years of selling Ferraris for Japan. Though essentially it is a clone of the new Ferrari 488 Spider, the styling cues are different, mixing a low-slung look with lines and accents that appear inspired by Ferraris of the past. Reportedly, only 10 of this model will be made available—sad news indeed for such a beautiful car!

MANILA—The Society of Philippine Motoring Journalists (SPMJ) and Manila North Tollways Corporation (MNTC) recently signed a Memorandum of Agreement last January 17, 2017 at the Palms Country Club in Alabang.
With this Memorandum of Agreement, MNTC will serve as the Cooperating Sponsor of the SPMJ’s upcoming event, the ‘Driven to Serve’ Awards. The prestigious event was conceived to recognize the most outstanding CSR projects undertaken by the automotive manufacturers and distributors in the Philippines.
