The bold Porsche branding didn’t go unnoticed in Germany. Singer Vehicle Design is taking its All-Terrain Competition Study (ACS) back to the drawing board after Porsche protested its design. A new CarScoops report has discovered that Porsche wasn’t pleased with Singer using the large “Porsche” lettering on the car. The publication earlier discovered that Singer had removed all traces of the car from its website and Facebook page. Porsche told the publication that it’s “glad to have a growing community” of enthusiasts; however, the company also noted that it has a “responsibility” to its customers to guarantee its products are “clearly and easily identified.” According to the report, it’s unclear if the design dispute is calling into question the molded Porsche side sills, the Porsche lettering graphics, or both. Singer has yet to respond to CarScoop’s enquiries for comment and clarification.

MANILA, Philippines — Speaker Lord Allan Velasco cautioned the public on Monday that the availability of the COVID-19 vaccine should not lull them into a false sense of security. Velasco made the remark as the country is seeing an uptick in COVID-19 cases. “While we understand that more businesses are reopening and people want to resume normal activities, we have to maintain our health protocols until the COVID-19 threat is effectively addressed by our vaccination program,” Velasco said in a statement. In a similar fashion, Velasco pointed out that vigilance in following all recommended health and safety protocols is “more critical now than ever.” “Now is not the time to let our guard down… We have to wait until such time a greater number of Filipinos are vaccinated and herd immunity has been achieved,” Velasco said. The Department of Health (DOH) reported on Sunday an additional 3,276 cases of COVID-19, pushing the number of total active coronavirus cases in the Philippines … [Read more...] about Velasco: COVID-19 vaccine rollout not an excuse to relax vigilance
