Message: <blockquote data-quote="hwahwa" data-source="post: 1063574219" data-attributes="member: 116376">Wow... dear all, thank you very much for sharing your thoughts...Was away for 'war' (some other issues to tend to).PIMPIN, things have became from bad to worse. I'm just going to close an eye. The PhD student rephrased all the answer options again and I don't even want to comment. Will post it out if you guys are interested. Will start the formal online survey/database hopefully this week.VW is interested in the Malaysian markets for a lot of reasons. Germans are very bad at understanding the Asian culture. And they do not understand the Muslims. To them the Turks are Muslims as a general. Malaysia may open many of such doors (as in culturally). You never know, they might even come up with 'halal' cars (joking). Although they already have a plant in China, they are interested in Malaysia. Maybe it's diverse investment. Maybe it's more advantageous to expand in ASEAN. They do not have a strong base here, yet. I would deem it very advantageous for Malaysia if VW decides to open a plant here, thereby, dragging all its supply chains to set up base here. People will have more jobs, yes. But of course, to make it very advantageous, comes at the cost of Proton. It's give and/or take. The main difficulty for my thesis is not the car companies. Market leader = Perodua + Proton. What's so hard? It is always so and would always be, unless Proton is no longer there anymore... which will never happen, since the government labelled it as our national pride. My main problem, the problem of all problems, was writing about the suppliers, the automotive components industry. My professor wanted to sweet talk me into writing about it. I declined. Let's just talk about cars... and only cars! Large automotive components suppliers are only a handful e.g. HICOM and other Proton suppliers. We have a very fragmented components industry and not as developed as in Germany. Compared to Germany, we still have a long way to go. That is also a headache for me.And, knowing Malaysians, I do not know what feedback they are going to write for this survey. What if they give all sorts of diverse answers and I'll have a headache interpreting all these comments. Or, they would not comment at all and just rate the online survey... that will be horribly interesting. By the way, I would love it if VW comes and 'organises' our fragmented automotive components industry. That will make us strong.</blockquote>

Maserati set to lift the lid on hardcore GranTurismo at Paris

Sharing the same roof with Ferrari has always meant that Maserati has had to take a different approach by catering to the more luxury-oriented market rather than the raw and hardcore driving enthusiast

Nonetheless...
