I think the most of the car consumer one to be treated like King is better then treated like slave or dirt. Malaysia market will never be over crowded. Didn't all of you see the ruin of monopoly?

That's funny. DRB said exactly the same thing as what the GM Ceo said about Renault-Nissan when its looking at a partnership, and the Kerkorian told him to go see Ghosn for Lunch. Yeah hilarious ainnit? DRB should actually be a little bit more original.

Lumina is a very preety car, made in australia. I saw it in Chev's showroom in my town previous yr, now its sent back I think… cos with that price, its not a car which can be easily sold in my town. I got sit inside the car when on auto fair… not bad overall… i like it too.

GM should read the fine prints first…. as i know now i dont think any foriengn company are allowed to take a big stake in local company. the major holders should be locals/bumi. they should consider the malaysian market as the brand is not as good are the japanese counterparts. i as a car freak will never buy a rebadged korean nor korean makes.

iam currently in dubai and chevy are doing great here. they are many chevrolet Epica model use as taxies here. there are many other models to choose from. unlike malaysia u are limited to some small models and not the big ones. well thank god they are not bring in any big fuel eating machines.

look at lumina.. its doing ok here but in malaysia i dont see at all.

not sure why GM is interested in out market anyway…no way to make money here. Too much red tape also.

Well, I hope DRB will learn a lesson or two here. GM too needs to understand that Malaysia is a unique market that requires unique intervention. No way u can sell a Korean car more expensive than the Jap's!
