You Buy An Alfa Romeo 159 to Feed Your Soul

In the news this week, we discuss a few of the Perikatan Nasional government's rollbacks on Pakatan Harapan's previous policies such as the targeted fuel subsidy program (PSP) and revised excise duties. We also discuss the details of the Malaysian Automotive Association's (MAA) press conference which centered around their expectations to sell 290,000 more cars in the final 5 months of the year, and talk about our high car prices and how it affects consumers and the industry as a whole. 

As for our used car review, it's the 2005-2011 Alfa Romeo 159 - a stunning Italian executive saloon that you should only buy to feed your soul. These cars are uncommon sights in Malaysia, but it's worth the double-take for its sheer beauty.
