Sounds like a speculation and to potrait the RM98K version of Insight will become a legendary 2011 limited edition.

For those potential owners out there, please call Honda Malaysia to find out instead of guessing here and there.

Fair enough to our fella Insight owners here in this thread ?

According to SA, the 2011 budget only allow 5K units or 1yr (2011) to be duty free. If exceed the 5K units, duty is applicable on subsequent imported Insight. He didn't mention about AP, so can still get Insight but at RM124K.

If normal tax imposed its definitely more than 124k...124k only for last year tax 50%

Seriously, who wants to buy Proton hybrid... ???
For 20yrs they couldn't even get the power window right. I own the new Saga, the window switch kaput after 2yrs and the mechanic says even if he changed it, it will happen again It is common problem for all proton cars.

Alright... Seems like it is good time to have a talk with manager again..

let's say after the tax exemption for hybrid cars were abolished, the price of the imported hybrid cars projected as below:

Insight 120k+
civic hybrid 130k+
toyota prius 160k+

so, when proton launch their Tuah/Jebat/Kasturi hybrid, it would probably cost 80-90k to compete with imported hybrids..
in this case, do you foresee the competition?

Sms-ed manager... Still no news from HM

zero,
now it depends on u to check from their manager to know either this AP issue is true or not.
If this is true, this will cause a mas order of dis insight in a short time...

zero, u r our intermediate in dis...
nice.. bravo, bro....

I found this in the US/Canada Owners manual:

'Your authorized Honda dealer
knows your vehicle best and can
provide competent, efficient service.

However, service at a dealer is not
mandatory to keep your warranties
in effect. Maintenance may be done
by any qualified service facility or
person who is skilled in this type of
automotive service. Make sure to
have the service facility or person
reset the display as previously
described. Keep all receipts as proof
of completion, and have the person
who does the work fill out your
Honda Service History or Canadian
Maintenance Log. Check your
warranty booklet for more
information.'

Does that applies in Malaysia? Just in case HM sucks us dry through maintenance department.

Then I will just buy a petrol car, Ford Fiesta 17KM/L @ RM78K. There will be more efficient car coming out next year. Right now my Saga, sapping at 10KM/L worse than a Camry. Another, if a battery failed it will cost a lot $$$, so I wouldn't put my bet on Proton reliability. Right now they have zero records on hybrid production.

ZeroSP is our new representative from Lowyat forum!!! Pls vote him to become the club president for all Honda hybrid's car

hmm it will be more likely be: (if import duty of 30% and excise tax of >75% not exempted)

Insight >180k
Civic Hybrid >190k+
Prius >210k+

Or maybe they wont abolish the tax exemption, instead subsidizing Proton? (like Japan) Which is highly unlikely...

If Honda or Toyota couldn't get more APs for Hybrid, I think consumer will begin to complaint the gov...

i really interest on honda insight ..... a hybrid CBU unit from japan at RM98k.
can any share with me wat the interest rate for 6 or 7 years loan ??

Can I have some owner's vote/support please.



This is for "0"SP

Understand current interest are in the range of +/- 2.7%.
Heard that in coming weeks, interest rate will be revised upward again...

Thumbs up from me. Go Steady Go!

My calculation based on the current selling price, please take note that I have not deduct the profit made by Honda Malaysia from the selling price before calculating tax, thus the selling price after tax might be Rm10k to 30k lesser.

Please correct me if my calculation is wrong
