IMO that is unlikely, because at Thailand, the government got a industrial incentive program for manufacturers to make a eco car (aka car with more than 20km/l mileage and low CO2 emission).
That why Mitsubishi able to slash down the price and enter Malaysia. Malaysia also can't tariff much on Mirage since they signed AFTA.
making the car...car price is still the same actually
its how much its sold that matters
it was sold RM30-40k in thailand and philipines if u saw the price and convert(its sold cheap in thailand becuz the car itself qualify for the incentive program(for driver/buyer)
in MY, it cost an extra RM20k for the same car
and mitsu already announce CKD will be next year..so to be safe than sorry, buy it now
later CKD, some feature will be gone, japanese part no hope..also gone...price only slash abit
same story like the honda jazz hybrid
and quality will definitely dropped in CKD in malaysia
and our version not only are more expensive, some feature like stabilizer bar(philipines) and the auto retractable side mirror also cut
