I agree but I think you just misquoted me. It's REAL(impossible) hard to find a house without any "made-in-China" products dude. Having said that, I don't mean everything that's made in China are rubbish. Anyway, like I said, I hope this car is not something that we have to use(given the choice) but as always, pricing can and will be the main factor. BanyakMasukWorkshop said,

Paul, your statement is like encouraging Naza to rebadge this van in Malaysia. If Naza rebadge this van, I have to blame you. Its all your fault.

The perceived weak brand image and the no-frills-for-the-masses product positioning which sit lower compared to other prevailing cars make Kelisa an easy bashing target for UK car reviewers. People here rather buy a second hand Serena than a spanking new Hafei Mini, just like Britons rather buy a second hand Golf than a spaking new Kelisa. But what happened if, say, we are to open a small/mid-sized business in China and need a cheap, reliable van to transport our workers. If reckless-driving Malaysians are to be marketed with this model, the manufacturer definitely needs to equip the standard models with roll-over protection side airbags. Har ha ha
