This week, we go through a few pieces of news such as the MSF's eRacing series CyberTurismo, JPJ-issued numberplates and Google Maps, before tackling a few car launches from Toyota, BMW and Ferrari.

After that, we take a look at the world's favourite suburban SUV: the 2003-2008 Toyota Harrier. Known in most Western markets as the Lexus RX, it offered the middle-ground between your regular run-of-the-mill SUVs and the expensive premium SUVs, combining reliability, cheap running costs with luxurious amenities. 17 years after its launch, the Harrier has aged extremely well and seems well worth a look at roughly RM35,000.
