In order to increase sales, the marketing team of the Malaysian car manufacturer is launching an “Islamic Car”. (Check out this BBC article.)

This car is going to come with “features like a compass pointing to Mecca” … uh… ah… hmmm… nevermind… oh, oh… and also “a dedicated space to keep a copy of the Koran and a headscarf”! Okay, I am really speechless about the compass thingy, but a dedicated space? I think it is called a glove compartment. Yup, already been there, done that, my Proton friends.

It is really pathetic to make use of religion to increase sales… REALLY!

Perhaps it was a better idea to just sell off the company. Here’s an impression of what I think an “Islamic Car” might look like.
