In the news this week, updates on the two new suitors for the national car project; details of their plans and prototypes, and a quick report on car infotainment systems. No review this week, but we take a holistic look at the Malaysian automotive market, as recent reports showed declining sales for the once-evergreen D-Segment cars, such as the Toyota Camry and the Honda Accord.
