plus they dont want to kill Honda City sales..Actually the profit margin of HM for Honda Insight is consider quite high (even for Langkawi prices) just look at US prices, I'm pretty sure it cost more to ship to US as compared to shipping to Malaysia..
Or maybe it is because of the cost of the AP... the only consolation is that, Prius (low end spec that are sold in Malaysia) and CT200h have insane markup prices This post has been edited by psyeo: May 17 2011, 11:12 PM |

Insight here in UK are not much cheaper than Prius and most of the people opt for Prius here since they are here for quite a while compare to Insight which is new.
I can see more than 5 Prius in a day but only saw 1 or 2 Insight a month here. And the hybrid cars here are quite expensive so we should be thankful that our govt waived the import tax  |

QUOTE(iphone @ May 17 2011, 03:05 PM) Well not surprising at all. Same goes to ipad..iphone..the usual I heard..we heard new one coming! The world is always progressing and every second newer better product are appearing. So the best time is to buy when you NEED it. The worst is buying bcoz you WANT it, for this you will never satisfy wanting newer spec product. Price depend on demand vs supply, I guess when the 1.5 Hybrid finally appear..it could be selling at RM130-150K, demand going to be good since fuel are getting costlier every few months and our beloved Govt will not always give duty free CBU vehicles. Oh one more thing for those who are not aware ..RM72,000 total duties waived for our CBU Insight. " The world is always progressing and every second newer better product are appearing. So the best time is to buy when you NEED it. The worst is buying bcoz you WANT it, for this you will never satisfy wanting newer spec product." - best advice I've heard in a long time   Added on May 17, 2011, 3:11 pm Agree...I read the hybrid battery has a DC-DC converter for the 12V system and it turns on and off as needed. Better make sure any electrical modification are done by professionals.  |

BTW, anyone took windshield insurance? My SA tells me our front windshield is around RM4k to replace. Addt'l windshield insurance will add +RM700 or so yearly.
If I do the math, this means you'll pay addtl insurance for roughly 5.5 years or so, before breaking even with a windshield replacement cost (in other words, if you unlucky enough to have yr windshield replaced within 5.5 years, you save on cost of windshield replacement, else you start "losing" after the 5th year of no claims ) |
