QUOTE(tishaban @ Aug 25 2007, 02:45 PM) Good list and good explanations. I hope people do more reading rather than bashing without thinking. One thing about myth four that wasn't brought up however is that Proton cars have better specs overseas than in Malaysia. You can get side airbags with a UK spec Waja to achieve the 3-star Euro NCAP rating. There is no official way to get that kind of specs in Malaysia. For several months the Savvy marketed overseas had airbags while Malaysian could not get it officially even if they wanted it. Unfortunately Proton seems to believe that Malaysian lives are cheaper than UK lives. i believe this is so due the rules and regulation of the country that require car to have at least airbags before being set on the road correct me if i am wrong... |

QUOTE(leongtat @ Aug 30 2007, 12:14 PM) Pls dun convert the currency directly.... if u are comparing how much the citizen earn a month to bought a car den u will know y our country car price are so high.... juz imagine u got a 1-2k salary in uk. with less den 10k u can get a car.... do u think that will happen in malaysia? 10k to get a car and park at your house in overseas, but to operate and maintain the car ? try calculating insurance, road tax and etc and see.... not to mention their income tax is high... <-- since we like to bring tax into play but of course their standard of living is higher This post has been edited by kcng: Aug 30 2007, 01:16 PM |
