News Forum - Greater Bay Airlines halts Hong Kong-Singapore flights

MG CAR LEMON
Mildly satisfied with my initial caution about MG when they hit the roads in Thailand. First off, I thought they were ugly as hell, and just looked cheap. The aesthetics have improved in following years, caught myself looking at a new model in a car park this year and thought, "Yeah, that looks alright...getting better". Thankfully this topic thread brought me back down to Earth. Mate of mine bought one of the ugly first year models, and I've asked him on and off since then how the car is doing, and he says no problems. Still have this niggling feeling about them. Seems working to middle class Thais will jump on cheaper alternatives or unproven fads/trends, and feel great for a while sporting the red license plates. Flabbergasted at how many Thais jumped on what I assumed were attractive promotions for Chevrolet vehicles.......after Chevy announced its departure from the Thai market. Bang, 10 new Chevrolets with red plates in my moo baan. Up to them of course, chok dee. Been a Toyota convert since my early 30s, stick with it until they give me a reason not to.- 2
