So here it is, a new series that brings together all the big boys from different car manufacturers, to the grill.

In this first episode, you have the quick-talking, eloquent, super-wired VP of Sales & Marketing of Mercedes-Benz Malaysia, Mark Raine, on one side of the Mercedes-AMG G63, while the other, you have the aggressive, no-nonsense business journalist, Khoo Hsu Chuang from BFM89.9’s “The Breakfast Grille”.
