Cars in comparable price range but much quicker, with typical Sinkie unker responses:

Kia Stinger 2.0. But not conteeeeeeeeee maaaaaaa.... 

Alfa Giulia Super. But no reliabiliteeeeeeeeeee maaaaaaaaa.... 

Bottom line: one pays for an entire package, and that includes badge and country of origin.

C160 is NEW in Singapore. 1st time here... so must sell high, then people will appreciate. maybe there will be one that uses the 1.33t which allows it to be VES B?

then C133, 10k cheaper? hahahaha

Yeah, I never got why they call them "badge whores". 

If they're the ones willingly paying, shouldn't they be "badge johns"? 😂

unker will say want so much power for what? In singapore can only rush from traffic light to traffic light. 10.3s more than enough to beat Altis

I think 1.33t will be VES C2. The car is too heavy for the engine

Maybe C&C will drop C180. I have not done the math but they probably earn more from C160

Well, that's the other thing. Why do people want cars making middling power? Either get a proper performance car or just go for luxury/space/low cost/whatever. But if you want performance, no 300hp, no talk (yes, I know weight is also important, but I'm sure you get what I mean).
