IIRC exactly the same circumstances befell a Gallardo a while back

With duty and taxes...

I wonder if there is a status element to this?

What's the Chinese for TATDS?

I'm not quite sure how bad their customer service is - or maybe it's just not appropriate for the local expectations.

I wonder what he does with his car after it's smashed up? Leaves it there? Pays Maserati to fix it then sells it perhaps?

When I first saw this I thought it was probably an overreaction on the owner's part. Then I read what had sparked it off:

"The dealer apparently replaced a broken part with another used part, and not with a new part. The dealer then charged 2400 yuan (390 USD) for the ‘repair’."

...and I thought - well, seems fair enough, for $390 we'd probably all do the same. Full video here - it is (a) very depressing , and (b) obvious he did not want them to do any serious damage. A two year old could hit the car harder than that.

What the heck is that bonnet made of? I see them whacking it with the sledgehammer and it just promptly bounces back into shape! Overall, I'm impressed with how well the car seems to resists the blows.

I'd love it to backfire and show how well made the cars are by resisting damage.

It would've been funny if they'd accidentally done the wrong car
