Remember the time we used to keep a folder in the car full of CDs so that everyone in the car could take turns and play their favourite hits? Then it eventually evolved into the aux cable and then Bluetooth made life easier. Later on, Apple CarPlay made the music experience way easier and more accessible to one user. How do you top that?

Well, with all the big commotion going on about the new Vision Pro by Apple, this sleek update to Apple CarPlay was overshadowed. It’s an update to iOS 17 which allows passengers to join in on being the DJ in a shared media session. Now to those who do not know, this is a feature that has already been accessible in the Spotify app. So… Apple is kind of late to the game.

Ever seen one of those small toy wooden cars that collectors have? Well, this is the same but different. Instead of being a toy, this is a fully functional life-size car registered in France. And it is very expensive.

This Citroen 2CV that is made of wood recently sold for €210,000 (RM1.03 million) at an auction in France, setting a new price record for the iconic vehicle. And yes, it was purchased by a collector named Jean-Paul Favand who is based in Paris.

The Citroen 2CV, also known as “deux chevaux” or “two horsepower,” was introduced in 1948 as the automaker’s response to the Volkswagen Beetle.

The previous record for a 2CV was established in 2016 when the Paris-based auction house Artcurial sold an exceptionally rare 1961 2CV Sahara in nearly pristine condition for €172,800 (RM851,489).

The LBX, which sits below the UX and is the new entry-level Lexus, is an indirect replacement for the long-gone CT hatchback. It is Lexus’ first vehicle in the B-segment ever since

The LBX sits on the GA-B small car global architecture platform which is used for the first time by a Lexus model. The new vehicle now has the essential advantages of a low centre of gravity, broad tracks, small overhangs, and a very robust body thanks to fundamental adjustments made to it to satisfy Lexus’s criteria.

The most notable feature of the design is a new frontal configuration that “breaks” the spindle grille, which has been a defining feature for the past ten years and ushers Lexus into a new age. The seamless, frameless grille creates the spindle-shaped lines of the LBX’s body, adding to the vehicle’s aggressive posture.
