    FOR THE PURPOSE OF BRAND DIFFERENTIATION, GIVE IT A BETTER SOUNDING NAME LIKE SARF EAGLE, SARF OSTRICH, SARF CHEETAH, ETC.

    SARF MEANS SARFO, THE LAST NAME OF KWADYO SARFO.

    Why the insult Jerry? Adumtumi is right, if these cars don't meet international standards on safety, it'll be difficult to market it.His comment has nothing to do with being 'enemies of progress'.
