[QUOTE="andrewk, post: 459823, member: 3188"] End life policy? Sure... I'm all for it.... but first:- 1. Scrap crazy taxes on cars 2. Improve public transport system 3. Increase GDP per capita If you wanna compare, lets make a comparison then: GDP Per Capita - Purchasing Power Parity (USD): Japan = 32,700 South Korea = 28,100 Singapore = 52,200 Indonesia = 4,000 [B]Malaysia = 14,900[/B] (source - CIA Factbook) Price of E90 BMW 320i (USD): Japan = 54,088 South Korea = 40,997 Singapore = 139,886 Indonesia = 58,184 [B]Malaysia = 76,659[/B] (Country BMW website) Price as a multiple of GDP per capita (Price/GDP): Japan = 1.65x South Korea = 1.46x Singapore = 2.68x Indonesia = 9.55x [B]Malaysia = 5.14x[/B] If you look at the results above, you'll notice that countries with low multiples have good public transport infrastructure and/or relatively low vehicle prices. Even Singapore with the most expensive BMW has half the multiple of Malaysia and its car prices is a reflection of their govt policy to limit the number of vehicles due to land constraints. Even in Indonesia, the car is cheaper than in Malaysia. C'mon la Proton... you gotta give better argument than that... you're telling me that my 13 year old E38 is not as safe as your new saga?!? .... :stupid: Just be honest la... ppl rather buy used car than a new proton.... If you can solve that, you don't need EV(i)L policy.... [/QUOTE]
