IMHO, I think that the upcoming Honda CTR as above is a more bang for buck car than BMW's 320i. Anyway, curse Performance Motors lah. As if the already stratospheric price for the 320i at $139,000 is not enough, the price has been increased to $150,000!! Fwauhh!!

Tee gong bo pi me, can tio Big Sweep... Bo pi Bo pi.

Actually come to think of it, if i really tio the Big One... I think I will just choose between a Kia Cerato, Honda City or Toyota Corolla Axio lah. No point throwing too much money into the sea for a car in Sillypore. Let's see...
