@yokittavt Top 5 things that Indonesian normies are usually attached to and hard to get rid of off their lives:
1. Padel
2. Matcha
3. Labubu
4. Dubai chocolate thingy
5. EV, especially the Chinese ones
@rodadotco Another Indonesia's big loss: Kijang Innova 2.7, CR-V gen 1 AWD, Vitara 4x4, dan X-Trail T30 AWD. Mereka semua punya powertrain yang ideal buat bodi dan segmen mereka, tapi kurang laku thanks to pajak kendaraan di Indo kala itu yang gak ngotak dan bikin mereka mahal.
@0xcome@aimr0d gak juga. range rover tuh terkenal sahabat bengkel karena suka ada aja kejutannya. yang kondisinya relatif "sehat" aja image-nya begitu, apalagi kalo udah ngejogrok. biaya benerinnya mungkin bisa setara harga 1 unit LCGC baru.
@SahrulHayato18@columcba@aimr0d at least mercy sama BMW lebih bisa ketebak penyakitnya apa aja dan spesialisnya banyak, kalo range rover... ya gitu deh. bahkan di bandung yang biasanya suka ada mobil eropa lawas dipake harian (apalagi duo german luxury itu), range rover jarang keliatan.
@columcba@aimr0d produk range rover tuh terkenal rewel, terutama di kelistrikannya. sampe ada jokes kalo ngeliat range rover di jalan, kemungkinan itu mobilnya lagi otw ke bengkel atau otw pulang dari bengkel
@gadinglyfe kalo dibiarin sayang amat, tapi kalo dilepas/diangkut juga bikin mumet karena biaya termurah dalam memiliki sebuah range rover bekas adalah beli mobilnya (apalagi kalo mobilnya udah terbengkalai kayak gitu)
@senogp Anggana Danamon >>>>> Sampoerna Strategic Square. Arsitekturnya American Modern (vs SSS yang dangdut campuran modern + neoklasik), ada plaza dan open space buat pejalan kaki di sisi jalan utama, dan gak percaya fengshui meskipun perusahaan arsitekturnya Chinese-American.
@comiPPFnoCafe@horsepower same thing here in indonesia, but apparently people here refused to get over the fact that fit/jazz got killed off and replaced by city hatchback, so the price of used jazz here remained high and city hatchback was killed off after 5 years on the market due to poor sales.
@beeeemooooo A car so goated it made its "successor" in some countries (the City Hatchback) feels half-baked, less desirable, and such a sales flop that Honda killed it off in Indonesia after only 5 years on the market.
@Kirin_id_@Nelvezone Gue juga pernah di lampu merah Pasteur, mau puter balik di lajur paling ujung kanan tiba-tiba dipotong sama pemotor dari sebelah kiri. Pas gue klaksonin tuh pemotor, eh dia malah melototin gue. Gue melototin balik lah, sembari ngebatin "masih untung sia kagak kelindes, goblog".
@spinefoot1 That audio/infotainment screen looks a bit out of place but I guess they did it because the original interior is so outdated it looks like it was recycled from the 1990s Civic Ferio
@o_kii_inu@hi___dan Yes. "Sangean" means "horny" and to make things worse, it says "Sangean Since 1974" which Indonesians could easily interpret (as a joke) that someone has been constantly horny for at least 52 years straight.
@Kentia_00 And when Hyundai revealed the latest Santa Fe about 3 years ago, it was instantly mocked and bullied by many Indonesians because the rear end looked like one of those coachbuilt Suzuki Carry vans (or "minibus").
@1600Ceres It is said that "MR90" stands for "Mobil Rakyat 90" ("People's Car 90) because Mazda saw the success of Toyota Kijang as Indonesia's "people's car" and decided to join in as well.
Fun fact: Mazda even gave you free cassette if you buy an MR90.
@AlfarisiR@ilomillow udah berdiri kok, di foto letaknya paling pojok kiri atas yang gedung paling tinggi agak belakang.
kalo diliat dari fotonya sih itu pas jaman nama gedungnya masih anggana danamon dan dulu depannya ada plaza yang bisa diakses pejalan kaki, kurleb kayak begini kalo dari deket.
@pandagagaldiet@sauczsa the parking spaces in the US are wide, so they don't have to fold the mirrors. also, when they park their car on the streets, at least there are no idiot motorcycle riders trying to cut lanes and may end up hitting the door mirror, like what usually happens in indonesia.
@52byC1PguP7vWyM I can confirm that car's existence as an Indonesian. There's even a joke in Indonesia saying that a brand new Colt L300 will instantly turn into a classic car as soon as it left the dealership.
@KitsuneSqueak Congrats on your new car! It's the Prius that made many car guys who used to hate Prius left in shock because of how good-looking and quick it is.
