Most of us probably think - at least I do - that luxury cars are perfect. Their brands alone have often reflected how top notch they are. Brands like Ferrari, Porsche, and Maserati (among others) are few good examples. However, believe it or not, that will be so true if, and only if, we are living in a perfect world. Speaking of which, unfortunately, this world is not perfect. This recent event in China just proved it even more so. A pretty rich Chinese man decided to destroy his Maserati Quattroporte on 14th May 2013. Mind you, the car costs 2.6 million Chinese Yuan which is equivalent to approximately S$526,000. The Chinese guy hammered his car in front of the crowd witnessing the Qingdao International Auto Show which started on the aforementioned date. According to the man, he destroyed his car to protest against the Maserati dealer he bought the car from. However, I would say that the event was actually the peak of a problem which started back in 2011, as reported by Car News China. At that time, the owner encountered a problem with his Maserati and so he contacted Maserati China. There was a fault with one of the car parts and, considering the car was still under warranty, the owner should have received a replacement for free. Surprisingly, though, Maserati China decided to charge him for a refurbished used part. Well, I guess the dealer must have thought that it was worth it for the 'repair' although I can say it's actually not worth it. Now, seeing that the owner decided to finally destroy his really expensive car, I believe that the guy is really fed up with the dealer. I, for one, can understand the guy. You see, even for a car priced far below the price of the Maserati Quattroporte, we can get engine swaps free of charge as long as the car is still under warranty. Now that I've witnessed a luxury car with quite a few faults, I guess I'll have to think over several times before deciding to buy one of my own in the future (that's assuming I can afford one, though, haha

A Chinese story....... ******** This is the English Translation:- There was this bank robbery in Guangzhou, the robber shouted to everyone: "All don't move, money belongs to the state, life belongs to you". Everyone in the bank laid down quietly. This is called "Mind Changing Concept --> Changing the conventional way of thinking". A lady lay on the table provocatively, the robber shouted at her: "Please be civilised! This is a robbery and not a rape!" This is called "Being Professional --> Focus only on what you are trained to do!" When the robbers got back, the younger robber (MBA trained) told the older robber (only of primary school education), "Big bro, let's count how much we got". The older robber rebutted and said, "You very stupid, so much money, how to count, tonight TV will tell us how much we robbed from the bank!" This is called "Experience --> nowadays experience is more important than paper qualifications!" After the robbers left, the bank manager told the bank supervisor to call the police quickly. Before the supervisor made the call, the bank manager said, "Wait, wait wait, let's include the 5 million RMB we embezzled into the amount the robbers robbed". This is called "Swim with the tide --> converting an unfavorable situation to your advantage!" The supervisor said, "It will be good if there is a robbery every month". This is called "Killing Boredom --> Happiness is most important." The next day, TV news reported that 100 million RMB was taken from the bank. The robbers counted and counted and counted, but they could only count 20 million RMB. The robbers were very angry and complained "We risked our lives and only took 20 million RMB, the bank manager took 80 million RMB with a snap of his fingers. It looks like it is better to be educated to be a thief!" This is called "Knowledge is worth as much as gold !" After watching the TV news, the.bank manager scolded the supervisor, "Bloody hell, you are damn daring huh!" The bank supervisor was smiling and happy because his loss in the SINOPEC shares was then covered by this robbery. This is called "Seizing the opportunity --> daring to take risks!" End of translation

SINGAPORE-BASED motor group Tan Chong International has secured a Chinese car distributorship for five countries, despite misgivings about China-made vehicles. The company, known for its Nissan and Subaru franchises, has clinched the rights to represent Changan Automobile in Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines. Executive director Glenn Tan told The Straits Times this week that he is confident Changan cars will pass muster here. The first model will be the Honor seven-seater, which Mr Tan said is likely to be priced at the same level as an entry-level Toyota Vios subcompact. "I've seen the car, and it's pretty well-made. Not up there with the Japanese, but certainly better than most Chinese cars," he said. Mr Tan said the deal came about because Hong Kong-listed Tan Chong, or TCIL, makes car seats for Changan in China, and it was the Chinese company that "approached us". Several Chinese manufacturers are stepping up their export drives to counter a cooling domestic market, said observers. Changan is state-owned - its parent is part of the Chinese military - and ranks as one of China's top carmakers. It has 15 plants in Chongqing, Beijing, Jiangsu, Hebei, Zhejiang and Jiangxi that can produce two million vehicles and two million engines a year. The firm also has research and development facilities in Turin, Yokohama, Nottingham and Detroit. Its website says it has assets of 68billion yuan (S$13billion) and nearly 50,000 employees. Mr Tan said newly formed subsidiary TC Changan will start up in Indonesia this week, in Thailand in November and Singapore by the end of next year. He said Indonesia and Thailand will be its biggest markets, as budget multi-seaters are popular there. So are small vans and trucks, which Changan makes too. "We hope to get a small slice of the big pie there," Mr Tan said. He said an expanding certificate of entitlement supply in the coming years will pave the way for Changan's penetration in Singapore. Operations in Vietnam and the Philippines will start in the first quarter of next year, with the 1.6-litre Eado sedan, launched at the Beijing Motor Show in May. Mr Tan expects annual sales in the five markets to hit a total of 10,000 units "in four to five years". There have been doubts raised in several markets in recent years over the quality of Chinese cars, but Mr Tan was certain Changan was different. "We make seats for them, so we know they have quality standards," he said. "They won't just take anything you give them." Elsewhere, TCIL's expansion plans are gathering speed. Its Subaru franchise in 10 markets will sell 15,000 cars this year, and its Fuso truck business in Thailand will see sales doubling this year. Assembly of the Subaru XV sports-utility vehicle in its Malaysian plant starts in December. It will supply cars to Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia. For the first half ended June30, TCIL's net earnings more than quadrupled to HK$415.5million (S$65.6million), despite a 6.5 per cent fall in revenue to HK$3.08 billion. Profit was boosted by an increase of HK$175.7 million in the fair value of listed investments and a one-time gain of HK$74million from the sale of a tyre joint venture in China. http://cars.st701.com/articles-cars/motori...se-cars/a/85051 The first model will be the Honor seven-seater
