Who owns who?

The automobile industry can be pretty confusing in terms of ownership, shareholding or joint venture.

But this scanned image from a magazine shows the map of the global car industry and would definitely give you a clearer picture of the global automobile industry today.

The entire automobile industry seems to be dependent on one another.

But if you study carefully, you'll notice that Proton-Lotus partnership is isolated from the rest of the automobile industry. (I wonder why? No promising growth?! or unfavorable terms?!)

...And don't be shocked to find that SAMSUNG is also making cars!! You can find it somewhere inside there.

Luxury cars and fancy number plates

Luxury cars and fancy numbers go hand- in-hand.

Some people choose fancy number for showing off;
some choose them because its their lucky number;
some people choose them to match their vehicle model (ie: CLS 350 for Mercedes C-Class CLS 350 model, DB 9 for Aston Martin DB9. Btw, these 2 numbers are real and owned by some tycoon in Malaysia. Spot them on the roads if you're lucky!!);
while, some prefer all their vehicles to follow suit (same numbers for all the vehicles)

Here are some of the cars I managed to capture on camera while on road. Click on the pictures to view them in larger size.


2nd runner up: The wicked one (WCK 9, BMW 6 series, I bet you can find more 7 series on road than this one ;-))

1st runner up: The exotic one (MAU1, Benz...dunno what class, caught it at the lobby of Bukit Jalil Golf & Country Resort)
Grand prize: The royal ride (BMW 7 series, just look at its number man.....)

So, why am I talking about cars suddenly? Just watch out for my future posts.
