    This is a good news from P2. They should sell it in India too, where small cars sell like “goreng pisang panas”!

    I wonder if they make any profits? The previous Kelisa models were sold at an average of 375 units a year over 4 years.

    The models are so tall that, if they were to drive the viva, their knees will be rubbing their ears.

    Only stupid people make stupid comments. And they’re especially stupid when making stupid comments while sitting in front of their stupid PC. So idiotically stupid.
