Cruise Control is back in 2024 promising the latest coverage in the local and global automotive industry. Our trio of petrolheads kick off the new year following the launch of the PADU Database, which is intended for targeted petrol and diesel subsidies; Honda's big EV move in Thailand, which we hope to spill over to our market sooner rather than later; plus an exclusive look at Xiaomi's impending launch of their EV supercar! We also discuss the legitimacy of vehicle testing procedures, in light of the Daihatsu scandal in Japan last year. Rounding off the programme with Daniel waxing lyrical over his experience zooming in and out of inner city traffic in a powerful, imported edition of the Alfa Romeo Giulia.
