Dear all,
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but just pretend for a moment that all things being equal, and Proton is selling a C segment car as with every other vendor. And at most, Proton is only receiving a mere '30%' advantage from import duty (http://www.maa.org.my/info_duty.htm). And lets set a constant of 120k for most C sec car.
Proton * 1.3 = 120000
Proton = 92300
So technically, Proton has a leeway to jack it up to 92k and pack more stuff in and bring more destruction to their opponents. Since critics are always saying Proton got ridiculous advantage. But of course, all things being equal.
This calc is most probably...terribly wrong in more than 1 way. Please focus the bashing on the math and not the person, shouldnt be that hard right....right?

AFAIK Proton shouldn't be getting any tax advantages over ASEAN produced cars (i.e. Vios, Almera, ...). The only advantage (and it is a big one) they get is that the development costs are in parts covered by the government. Without it Proton probably couldn't operate, because they can't spread out the costs to enough cars to be profitable.Please correct me if I'm wrong, but just pretend for a moment that all things being equal, and Proton is selling a C segment car as with every other vendor.
