Paul Tan on the Automotive Industry
Volskwagen AG is in talks with Cycle and Carriage Bintang Bhd for a dealership agreement. Cycle and Carriage Bintang currently distributes Mazda, Peugeot and Mercedes Benz marques in Malaysia.
Well, looks like there we have it. Cycle and Carriage for the distributorship and AutoStadt Asia as the sole importer. Not sure about Quasar Carriage. Anyone want a Volkswagen Golf TDI?

When the possibility of Proton Golf TDI is totally, i already stop dreaming to own one TDI.
send me the pillow i can dream on…………….
After all these tough day i have learned to dream with a pillow…

Aiyo,if the price is lower then can consider lo..Diesel engine+Turbo maa…Sure better mileage compared to petrol cars..
no matter what, as long as a VW is sold as a VW in malaysia, it will still cost more than RM100,000 and more.
Hidup Malaysia!!!
*waving keris*
*cabut*
It makes lots of sense for VW to choose a dealer with its high taste as well. Any CKD units on the way?
Check out the latest Autocar Asean. They have an interview with the VW Malaysia chief. From what he says, we may see a Polo priced under RM100k here. I have a feeling VWGM may bring in the Polo 5 door hatchback 1.4 TDI. As a reference, the Skoda Fabia 1.4 sells here for RM85k. The VW Polo 1.4TDI in the UK sells for almost the same as the Fabia 1.6 and coupled with the fact that import duties for diesel cars are less, there is a high chance you'll get a VW TDI for less than RM100k.
Hey..are you saying we can get VW TDI for RM99K which is
Where got VW TDI for RM99K !!!
Wahlaueh…
All… still remember….'Diesel sold out'… Suddenly, if this happens again, u will cry together with your 100k diesel car with no fuel to run… How good if they bring in more GOLF GTI… what a charming car.
But still VW brand will still some distance for my reach if bring in CBU.
hey, our diesel is as dirty as ever, u think can work together wif the VW engine ah?
even if it could, u hv got urself a high maintainence bill every month……….
buy the car…..it cost a BOMB
maintain the car……….well….it cost a BOMB too!!!!!
