Huh?

Does this means Honda Civic can be sold for much lower... but Honda is trying to milk buyers for as much as possible and fool water-fish & fan-bois loyal supporters into paying premium?! blink.gif

No!!! It's worth! Don't get me wrong.

Have to look at whole package. It's civic afterall.

Yes bro.

IMHO, Honda anytime better image then those local cars or koreans. You can park Civic next to Audi and not feel shy, almost same status le.

If that image comes with a slight premium, so be it!

Well, clearly if the car is junk, it needs a lot of replacement parts just to get it working no?

Much better car then the fail copy Inspira for sure bro.

I heard the Lancer engine is different form Inspira?

Also Lancer have the famous RISE chassis/body that protects the occupant right? Doubt inspira have that.

on paper should be the same cos both MIVEC engine. Did not see Inspira advertise about it.. althought the Preve has RESS body..not sure its up to par with the RISE or not...

sorry off topic.

Sorry Offtopic abit :

Do you mean to say Inspira is actually using Proton's RESS body just liek Preve?

So the Chassis/Body for Inspira is produced by Proton and not by Mitsu lah? doh.gif

Oh since INspira didnt advertise MIVEC... looks suspicious bro... you think they are not using MIVEC and probably using CAMPRO instead? You know to save cost and get that 75% local content?

Cause impossible the car using same engine, same body, same transmission... and so much price difference right? hmm.gif

Huh? Honda so status! This thread about Honda vs Inspira mah. Its not even worth comparion.

But when I park my Honda anywhere, people spare me a glance. I'm sure cause its Honda status, do people glance at your car?

What does make a car a local car and thus associated with low quality?

What if Proton takes the Lancer from Japan (CBU) and just change the bumpers to sell it as Inspira? Would you consider it as a local car and has a lower quality?

What about if you take a CKD car and do a local assembly without changing any part with local part? Would you consider this as a local car and has a lower quality?

What about if you take a CKD car and replace most of the parts with local parts? Would this be considered as a local car with lower quality?

Is it the brand that makes the quality of the car lower? Is it the local assembly proccess or is it the local parts that make it a lower quality car? Or is it something else?

What is the difference between Inspira with local contents and Civic with local contents, a part from the brand?

Its all about branding and perception bro. Is there any functional difference between a bonia bag and a LV bag? Look at the price difference.

As for difference between local content of both car, some poster have already mentioned, Civic have more local content then Inspira (currently around 25%).

yep, no need sos actually. we all knew that vios is actually a normal basic car..especially the J version. its the price structure that make vios looks like a 'luxury' car.  smile.gif

Well... is it the fault of Miti trying to force other car maker to sell more expensive car.... or is it purely the car maker's excuse in order to milk the buyer for all that they can?

I remember when the new elantra's price was announced, a lot of fans blame Miti for 'forcing' hyundai to price their car higher. BUt recently Hyundai just raised the price of Elantra in July... is this also Miti's work... or is Hyundai just showing their true colour. This whole episode puts into question was it really Miti who set the Elantra's pricing high in the first place.. or is Miti just a scapegoat hmm.gif
