This week on Cruise Control, Ariff walks us through the situation at Volkswagen, and how they've gotten themselves into even more financial trouble. This comes alongside new updates on the next national car, Anthony Loke's amendments to the Road and Transport Act, and the return of two motor sporting events to Malaysia. We end with a review of not a car, but a truck - the Toyota Hilux 2.7.
