According to Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) which issued the statement, it is not sure when it will resume taking orders but rumors online suggest it will resume only in August.

 

blogentry-133713-0-77133000-1426560157_thumb.jpgThis is because demand for its 707bhp high performance models haven been too overwhelmingly good and the limited supply has frustrated both dealers and buyers. FCA has even gone to accused some of the dealers for marking up the retail price by a big margin and taking orders that they will may not be able to fulfill.

Seriously to sinkies whose mindset is stuck with exotic Europeans machinery, you need to test out the Challenger Hellcat and tell me if your Porsche and Lambo still makes sense or not.

 

Rem, both the Hellcats can be as mild mannered as your B&B sedan. And yes both are designed to handle hot weather and bad traffic jams, and they will do your weekly supermarket shopping and dropping kids off to sch just fine.

 

And both can handle ultra long distance driving without breaking a sweat..

 

But when you put the foot down, all the Euro exotic machines just stand one side la... LOL.

 

At a fraction of the cost only

  • Is 'tiny living' really irrelevant in Singapore?

    I discussed the possibility of living in tiny houses in Singapore in an earlier blog post. But as we know, it isn't an option to begin with – no thanks, of course, to our lack of land space.  Someone also pointed out that the idea of tiny houses is "romanticised" – which, I don't deny (but hey, that's why it's a dream). While it's clear tiny houses aren't going to work out here, the concept of 'tiny living' is; not just physically but also mentally. Anyone who has lived enough years lo
