Is it true that TG tests Cheap cars coz the Media goes = blah blah blah , if they only test SuperCars? I'd heard this from someone, that the British Media always pounces on to TG everytime they do something wrong..

And yeah Dude, what is that Superman thingy? Is it you?

Proton its just a division of Mitsubishi..as far as i know....just cars made in Malaysia.....but the built quality of it is good actually.....and almost in a similar level to any south corean car, or some japanese car, as far as i know
