[QUOTE="funfer_fahrer, post: 267652, member: 2733"] Tun Dr. Mahathir himself admitted that Proton doesn't have the economies of scale (in an interview in Malaysian Business magazine regarding Tengku Mahaleel). That's why the price is of the car is quite high. I was very surprised to read that statement. If that was so, why must we start a national car project? Because of this, Proton will never succeed in the global market because it started with the wrong footing, for the wrong reasons. Bottom line, TDM knew about it from the beginning and all of us got conned. At the end of the day, the rakyat in general who suffer. And we, the car enthusiasts also feel the pinch. My 2 cents. P/S : Before I forget, Anwar Ibrahim was the one who proposed to the cabinet to increase the import duty of imported cars up to150%. They accepted his idea. He was no longer in the cabinet but the policy stands. Let's hope they get rid of this policy and also road tax based on cubic capacity policy that was introduced by TDM. [/QUOTE]
