Wow, i am perplexed. Yup i could snatch one of those in no time, by god's will. But it's just a matter of i don't want to. No, for the time being. The reason is, to procure those illustrious automobiles in Malaysia doesn't make sense at all, take into consideration of my thrifty oriented mindset...haha. It's such a ludicrous since you are extorted to pay..what, 2 ? 3? times higher when acquiring those in Malaysia than their real reasonable price !! Certainly i won't crucify my (frugality) principle for overzealous lust, not to mention that i'm not ever ready to give away some of my wealth to dumb ass AP's kingpins or to several moron's clans. No way dude. By the way Kei9, how do you define rich ? Well to me, rich is not how much you make and spend that counts but how smart you manage the wealth you created. p/s: As i mentioned above, not for the time being (As M'sia current affairs) but i'll definitely grab one of those should the price charged is a pure fixed. Not stained by such insanity law that yielded from a greed-centered judgment imposed by some morons. By the way, i'm not in Malaysia now..hehe kei9 said,

God..A8 is one of a few great cars i'd like to have. Haven't you watched the Transporter II ? Pheww..A8 is really a something which i would classify as " Damn..Now this is what i call a car." Since Phaeton and A8 are akin, thus Phaeton will automatically eligible to be in my 'list'.. Nice..No wonder it looks similar with A8…

I would think their main competition is audi, and bmw to a certain extent. but strangely, in europe, the other 2 brands are sold at a premium, above VW. i believe VW has so far officially sold about 230+ cars so far, with by far the majority of sales going to the golf Gti. a couple of its tauoreqs, beetles, and some passats.

To name a few Wearnes Automotive Sdn Bhd, More Cars Sdn Bhd, VW Cars Sdn Bhd, and Euromobil Sdn Bhd. So if you live outside these areas, you wouldn't see it. Volkswagen Group Malaysia Sdn Bhd are planning to open more showrooms soon including East Malaysia. So be passion.
