paultan.org is a blog on the Malaysian automotive industry. Includes reviews, previews, tech articles and automobile howtos.

Below is what I think is quite interesting for you there to read about.

China Pirates
If you think Malaysia's state of piracy is bad, you ain't seen nothing yet. China is where Uncle Ho got his MBA in Piracy. They can pirate anything and nothing's stopped them for doing it. Proton ripping off Alfa's grill for the Perdana V6 and Alfa's sport rims design for the Proton Gen2 is nothing compared to what Chinese car manufacturers are capable of.
