Wheels Weekly Issue 5 On the WAY! & FT-86 Cabriolet Unveiled



In our 5th issue, we go in depth into understanding the Lexus hypercar - LFA, with an exclusive center page spread of the LFA made up of thousands of thumbnails of Toyotas. There's also a great road trip to Taiping, where we travel in three Fiats, making our visit to a town where time still lingers to an era where Fiat's are still commonly known in Malaysia. There's also great story developments of how creations by our residential automotive manipulator, Theophilus managed to spin online medias in a rumor frenzy, resulting in PR divisions of Hyundai and GM stepping out to clarify things.

Interestingly, our man of men Jack Baruth gives tips into how a sloppy 20+ year old can enjoy test driving exotics with simple tactics and also our two cents into 'teaching' automakers how to make money by adopting telco's business practices.

Of course when it comes to cars, we're quick, whether its official, or AP. Anyone with some considerable cash to splurge on SUVs might want to check out what else is available in this market besides Muranos and XC60s? How about something from Toyota? By the name of FJ Cruiser? Yes, it is in Malaysia and we give you a first look at what's expected.

Lastly, we did interesting updates to our Off Beat section,which is certain to entertain.

Regards and hope all of you enjoy yet another exciting issue.

P.S - What we miss out at time of print

Toyota mentioned the recently unveiled FT-86, which is slated to be a dedicated RWD affordable coupe that's designed for drifting, will have a cabriolet sibling. Here goes.

Wheels Weekly Issue #4 is OUT!



Hi everyone, we're happy to announce that Issue 4 is on its way now on trucks, delivery vans to every newsstand and myNews.com!

In this issue, we bring you Takumi's new drifter! the new Toyota FT-86 drift machine that's set to fuel the fire burning within petrolheads.

Also we made a special trip to supercar valley, where we found the ultimate speed heaven for Malaysians. Lamborghini? Ferrari? Porsche? Aston Martins? Zagatos? Valentino Balboni? There're all there. Not for show thou, they're racing up and downhill. Initial D? Super Initial D to be exact. We also show you how the Koreans came from the humble years of the Gukje Sibal; to what Honda's CEO described as 'Awesome'. For new cars, we have a slew of cabriolets including the Chevrolet Camaro, Porsche Panamera, Peugeot RCZ. Crazy? You bet.

Lastly, we also talked about how automotive journalists, in their attempt of wanting to be perceived as 'a higher being' begin talking about a car's lack of soul. . . screw them? You bet. Read our point of view.

AND.... ever anyone wandered why certain countries drive on the left while others on the right? We'll tell you why.

Wheels Weekly, not just the fastest car magazine around.

Oh, and unlike many best seller, its 100% locally produced and published. (Ok, one of our editor's American thou)
