    If the giant carmakers are OK with them, why should we rant about the quality of these copycats?

    I would opt for a Geely Marie if I cant afford a C-Class.. it would be too common that people dont find it humiliating driving a pirated car. :)

    Cheers.

    formulalibre – I want a Cina-fied Porsche! :-)

    Ndmervin – Agreed. But then again, if our car taxes are as par as Thailand, man, we wouldn’t been thinking twice about pirated cars.

    emelda – “Expensive-looking” is definitely the right term! Nampak saja mahal. Hehehehe.

    papajoneh – You sure? Itu kalau angin tiup, terus jadi layang-layang bah. :-P

    kaDusMama – Well, same thing happens to our “darling” Malaysian car, and even the so-called Toyotas and Hondas – the difference is the owners of Toyotas/Hondas keep mum to protect their egos. ;-)

    karenyiau – Yes, like the Olympics – kick ass!

    Nick Phillips – Now you’re talking Nick! Go share it with the rest of Malaysians. :-)

    bennyliew.com – Iyabah, harga second cars these days kasi sakit hati saja kan?

    papajoneh – Papa J, for your sake, yes, I’ll be nice to you, but I just can’t stop my hatred for Liverpool bah – it was my deep disgust for them that had me supporting Arsenal in 1990 when they beat Liverpool with few minutes left in Anfield of all the places, needed to win by 2 clear goals, and won the title. Woohoo! Sweetness! :-)

    xin – Bless them for that.

    However, the bus is not “pirated”.

    In the bus market, the bus owner buy the chassis from manufacturers like Scania, Hino, Daewoo etc and send it to the coach builder to construct the bus body.

    It is all up to the creativity of the coach builder to design the shape and look of the bus body. Coach builders have standard “template” and also custom-make the body.
