Do expect some legendary Tan Chong cost cutting measures

TCM sure profit a lot from tis model. checked the  japan nissan site u will get these info.

Cheapest Serena S-Hybrid¥ 2,598,750 =rm 82,461.31 Highest Spec Serena S-Hybrid (Rider Black Line)¥ 2,924,250 = rm92,789
So where is the Green Tax rebate on this , or rebated into TCM's own pocket lah...

From TCM web site preview, its coming with the most basic spec, no on wheel media/radio control and without panaromic sun roof.

With the exemption of 75% excise duty, the remaining tax items left only the 30% import duty +10% sales tax.
Says if TCM get the basic ver priced  RM 82,461
        +30% import duty  RM 24,738 =  107,199
        +10% sales tax      RM 10,719 =  117,918

RM149,500-RM117,918=RM 31,582 - TCM tax/duty?

For LOL, you are using Toyota to compare, don't you know both are bloodsu-kers lah. And we are talking about tax exemption here. See how much Honda Jazz Hybrid can be reduced to if one is not so greedy.

Nissan still using torsion beam rear suspension ! 

Both S-max and Starex use multilink don't they ?
