Your opinion counts but mine don't? You can offer your views, so can I. To me, anyone can dress up any car regardless of whether the car can "live up to it" as mentioned by you. So what if it is not a sports car? Does it rally matter? One man's meat is another man's poison. Non sports car dressing up may be your poison, but it is not mine.

 

Some of us are able to afford sports cars. I am no exception having owned many marques, and I am sure you too. But I have never ever made comments about cars not living up to it and dressing up. Cars are expensive here in SG and even if it is a Vios, it can be dressed up nicely.

 

You brought up the Vios, saying it cant really run. I told you the power to weight ratio is good and it is capable of good timing in Sepang. In short, if you still cant understand, the car is not a bad car then lets forget it. To me, it does "live up" despite being a non-sports car.

 

Whatever it is, I have said what I want to say. Period. No point arguing over this.

 

I did not misconstrue anything but your comments were quite "in your face".

Sure SpecialC, you and I can certainly voice opinions , but nobody has to accept them, so dont take it that way. Nobody lords over anyone.

 

You have already misunderstood my first post on this , and therefore the misunderstanding dragged on into a debate regarding whether Vio is a good car or not.

 

My first post says that the design is nice but the car cant live up to it. "It" here means the design. It does not mean that the car is no good, it does what it is meant to do well. Just that, I feel that the fierce design doesnt suit the car.

 

I already pointed that out by using a BMW as an example.

Even a BMW dressed up in that certain way, cannot live up to it.

But yet you took it to mean that I am saying that the car is no good...?

 

It may be "in your face" but I inserted a paiseh smiley , right from the start....so that 78 Boi wont misunderstand . And he didnt, thankfully.

 

While we may be debating, do you realise that I am the one who is trying to to explain to you right from the start, doesnt it mean that your opinion counts? Haha

 

Later Alligator

 

ps. I cant afford a sports car.

There is a Maroon Corvette in Holland, but thats some time ago...

 

Brutal & Raw are the feelings I have for this car...But thats juz me...

[Throttle]

I had the opportunity to sit in a 1961 Chevy corvette in 1996 when I was in California. The licence plate was RedSixty1. Very cool. Singapore should allow customised licence plates.

The road tax alone for this beast can kill. haw haw....

 

Is that a 2.7liter Landcruiser Prado? I also had the opportunity to be driven around in one of these in Indonesia. A giant indeed. High above the other cars on the road. heh heh.

[fruitcakepablohoney]

Hmm...Van can post pix? Still 4 wheels right?

Yupz...Its a Landcruiser...Its was very rare when I first bought it about 3 yrs back...but now its very common...hahah...

 

Juz came back from changing the tyres 265 / 65 / 17...same size as the one round my waist...

 

My friends were so High on Pot in California once...they apparently went downstairs to saw the roof of his Fire-Bird...but because its so near the sea...The Rust developed really fast...That was really hilarious...

 

But what I really want for Christmas is a HUMMER...

 

Unfortuatly in S'pore, the TAX SUCKS BIG TIME...Not to mention the Insurance...

[Throttle]

Landcruiser is still not a common sight in Singapore.

Saw the roof off a Pontiac Ffirebird???? "cabriolize" the car....wah lau...

Yes, you are right. No one lords over anyone.

Misinterpretation is common in forums. I interpret it as putting the Vios down. Thats my take because I felt althought comments can be in your face ending with a smiley, it is not exactly nice. But then, I can't impose my values on you.

Point taken.

Read point 2 of this reply.

I didn't ask for an explanation. Just felt it is not nice to say the things you did, even if you have the initial meaning of saying the car does not match the zhnged looks. Maybe I belong to the category of SNAG...but still, my stand remain steadfast.

 

A Volvo S40 with Sunroof is a sport's car.

[Throttle]

I guess that's where our interpretation varies. heh heh

 

To me, a Volvo S40 2.4i with sunroof is by no means a sportscar.

Not even a luxury sedan as some may classify it. It's just a compact executive.

Wah Lan eh...All you need is a Gigantic Roof Spoiler & you can send your Vito to Japan & join the Gangs in Tokyo...hahahah

 

But I must say that it is Taste-fully done...not a bad job...not a bad job...
