    As we embrace the arrival of 2015, here's a sneak peek of new car models that we can expect to see in Singapore in the coming months.


    In a blink of an eye, 2014 has past and we are already into the second week of the new year. It seems like the market has adjusted to new regulations, as we have seen demands for new cars staying strong. 

    While we're staying hopeful that more COEs will be released in the coming months, car fans can also rejoice as close to 50 new models are slated to be launched on our sunny shores soon. 

    Here's a sneak peek of the star-studded lineup of 2015.
