Conti or Continental car is a Malaysian terminology for cars made in Europe or US, don't ask me why coz I also have no clue as I'm not Malaysian!
Maybe he's not Malaysian like me so that's why he/she doesn't know like me back then! 

Yeah that's what I've suspected, so does it mean no cars made in Asia will be considered Conti cars? But then how about recent car brands from mainland China , shouldn't they also be called Conti cars as China is the main body of land in Asia continent?    I honestly don't see the point of this Malaysian term of 'Continental car' coz within that category there are too may cars from different origins with very different characteristics as well.
