Bored and Found something on onemotoring. Perhaps Im a bit suaku....

LTA

 

Some facts:

1. 550k cars (excludes buses etc) in SGP as of end 2008. Gosh.

2. the top 3 take up more than 50%. i.e. every other car is a Toyota/honda/nissan.

3. 1 in 12 cars is a BM/Merc. That seems a bit low.

4. there are more BMWs than Subarus. I honestly thought there were alot more subarus......

I heard in big cities like Beijing and Shanghai u need to bid for parking lot before u decide whether to buy car or not. Their car is cheap but the parking lot is not.

Look at the number of 3 Series. Easily outnumber Impreza.

Just go to ION and Paragon car park, just one row you can see a few BMWs together.

 

Actually in Germany or UK, Audi has already priced themselves higher than Merc/BMW, but in Asia, they have to price it lower.

 

Looking at the road tax, Merc/Audi seems to be quite friendly with those 1.8 forced induction engines. But their exhaust just don't sound as sweet as their V6.

SG SOP : [grouphug]

Starting out : Toyota/Nissan

Mid mangmt : BMW

Towkay : Merc

Super Towkay : Rolls

 

Those with ideas will look for alternatives to distinguish themselves from the masses..

 

That explains...

My dream car is CLK AMG Black, but cannot afford that mercedes.

 

Then it comes to Audi, I don't like the seat and how the buttons sound.

 

End of the day, still young need to drive fast, BMW provides the handling dynamic. And the 5 series comfort seat is superb, excellent support to the shoulder, not many seats are doing that. In fact I don't like that the 5 series is so common. But it is suitable.

 

Why would I not buy a 5 series just because other people bought it for the prestige and the car is common like hell? Now, practically I can slide the tail out on every corner, if I want.
