Installation of New On-Board Units for Next-Generation ERP System Delayed until Mid-2023
The installation of the new On-Board Units (OBUs) for the next generation ERP system will be delayed until mid-2023 due to a global chip shortage.
Originally slated for an end-2021 release date, the chip shortage, which will be expected to end around mid-2023, has delayed the installation of the all-new on-board units (OBUs) into Singapore cars.

mReview: 2021 Mitsubishi Space Star - Back To Basics
What Mitsubishi has done with its Space Star though, is proof that a well-built and good-looking car does not have to come at a huge cost. But you still get this sense that they are keen on making an excellent product despite the financial hurdle.
This facelift replaces the cutesy front end of its predecessor with a sporty and sharply contoured front fascia.
If you're wondering how the Space Star was like to live with, here's a link to our review!
mReview: 2021 Audi Q5 Sportback - Bringing Sexy (And Stylish!) Back!
It wasn’t too long ago that SUVs were purely utilitarian vehicles - any semblance of luxury or comfort was seemingly slathered on as an afterthought.
The Q5 has no big bull bar, bash plates or big spotlights here. It is as stylish and restraint as any other offerings from the Audi catalogue. The sharp and stylish exterior, as well as its sheer size, means it looks at home in a city as built up as our own.

Video: The Jeep Gladiator, legendary off-roading and pickup utility! | mPreview
Offering both capable off-roading and true pickup truck utility, the Jeep Gladiator reigns supreme in this unique category of vehicles.
While the host of off-roading features and an incredible amount of space are nice to have, just how much do you need them in a place like Singapore?
