what i've gathered (maybe the member who lives there can chime in) is that in these smaller asian countries flagship platforms are hard to come by, and when they do the price is significantly more than what we're used to. that's always been enough for me to accept it.
honestly, a lot of the thai/malaysian non-platform vip builds go harder than most of the u.s. builds in terms of completeness.
that being said, i still don't like it. i'm not a fan of most cross-chassis conversions, particularly when it's a drastic step up (i.e. crown on a civic). their style is also generally over-the-top traditional. not my thing.

, the rest of the car doesn't flow at all...

either way, i'm not a huge fan but i gotta give them some respect for for going in 100%. same goes for anyone, anywhere though. i have a lot of respect for well executed non-platform builds even if they're not necessarily my style. it's 100x harder to do it right without support.
