Its currently a rebadged Geely. Plus, its protected by import duties on foreign cars that double the sticker price after currency conversion. It exists to enable otherwise uncompetitive local suppliers, a small part of the supply chain for bolt on accessories and the like. Otherwise our automotive engineering expertise is effectively zero, even during the time when we owned lotus. |

True. Competitive or not, though, it still made Malaysia only the 11th country in the world that can (could?) manufacture a car from scratch. I believe the powertrain is Japanese, though, but I don't think that's a deal breaker as many other car brands use outsourced power trains. |
