      BYD, Geely In Talks Over F1 Entry

      The FIA has held discussions with Chinese automakers BYD and Geely about potentially joining Formula 1 as its 12th team. FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem confirmed the discussions at the Madrid New Economy Forum. He said both manufacturers had expressed interest in entering the sport.

He also revealed that he had proposed BYD acquire an existing F1 team instead of building one from scratch. BYD rejected the suggestion, preferring to operate independently. Sulayem added that…

      Lemon Law: Why Don’t We Have It Yet?

      How is it that, even after all these years, an automotive lemon law is still not on the books in Malaysia?

Rather predictably too, after every one of these incidents goes viral, there will undoubtedly be the question being bounced around online of: why don’t we have a lemon law yet? And frankly, it is a rather reasonable question to ask. Because even after years, and many, many…

      Malaysia Needs A Dedicated Automotive Ombudsman Right Now

      Though this dedicated automotive ombudsman really should only be a stopgap measure until a proper lemon law is introduced. For a while now, politicians have been promising to introduce a lemon law in Malaysia. But unfortunately, playing to the stereotype of politicians being all talk and no action, there has been precious little progress on that front to date. And in the meantime, it seems that hardly a week goes by without another social media post from a disgruntled new car owner, complaining about something that has gone horribly wrong with their supposedly brand-new ride. And no, this is not…
