Wheels Weekly Issue #08 is OUT! - The Sad Sad Saab Story



Greetings to all readers of Wheels Weekly! In this issue that marks the beginning of a new year, it could've been easy for us to do an article on what new cars to expect for the new year - but then we aren't really car buying guides, most of our readers know what car they'd rather invest on, enthusiastically or practically. What we delve into this issue, as you can see from the cover page, is a story on how Saab, this brand loved by many and of course ourselves at Wheels Weekly - Failed.

Of course not all's doom and gloom, we have a grand feature of Brabus, in compliance with the launch of the new Brabus E-Klasse, we talk about how Brabus further refined Mercedes Benzes. As for Aston Martin's launch of the Cygnet, we talk about how on earth could one of the best and the worst car - is the same car. Next up, our review of the Volvo S80 makes us feel that there should be more of these on our roads. There's also an article on the Heico Volvo S80 HPC, where one might wanna re-think if they deem Volvo as un-sporty.

Interestingly, we have a special feature on just what Wheels Weekly is about, where for first time readers, we talk about how different we are, what we actually talked about from the beginning of the first issue, and of course, again clarifying that we are indeed a local produced, published car magazine where the entire concept, write up, editorial are all planned locally in Malaysia, even though we provide great global coverage and a special columnist from United States.

As for new cars to round up the issue, we feature the new Mercedes E-Klasse Cabriolet, the most powerful BMW Z4 sDrive35i and previewed Mini's new 4x4 Crossover.

So go grab a copy, all these, at the price of just a cup of hot, steamy White Coffee at RM3.90
