these greedy crooks are still not providing basic safety features like abs brakes or airbags.
i am all for supporting the local industry but still boycotting these guys till the provide the appropriate protection in all their models like rest of the world .
 
.
Suzuki, Honda & Toyota have a monopolistic control of market locally they assemble sub standered cars without safety features under a very high price tag and what an irony if someone wanna send back home a reasonable car our govt impost the taxes equal to the price of a new car at home. these sub standered cars further causing road accidents, cause more carbon emissions eventually results in to more loses, but our governments they are butchers and they really dont care about human life for them money is everything

thats why i am always willing to pay extra for imported cars(and will keep paying) instead of this substandard crap that these guys intentionally produce(contrary to the belief held by many supporter of local car industry air bags or ABS are neither expensive nor too high tech for these guy to manufacture).

Well, soon Chinese cars will be thronging the streets and these greedy dogs will be forced to improve the standards and reduce the price or just perish.
 
.
dont worry they will find a solution for them too our political elite are crooks and thugs they know the manipulation and arm twisting ... all of them are interlinked but just before election they trick the ordinary uneducated public sometime use money to hijack the elections and after elections they become united to rip the benefits of so called democrazy

That is great. Rise in auto sales is a good indicator that the economy is on the right track.
