When I say the Jazz is expensive, I simply mean the car is seriously overpriced by Honda. I understand the circumstances in Malaysia, high gov tax, ckd, cbu, etc, but seriously, if you judge the car (Jazz and Yaris) as “the car”, you will notice that the price tag they put isn’t worth what you get. For me, 80-85k would be a decent price for Jazz (as of Honda City)

Nah,.. effectively, a Jazz/Yaris would be more expensive then the H-line Persona… EVEN IF THE GOVT DIDNT PROTECT PROTON. Face it, the Jazz/City/Yaris are not exactly budget cars. They are called budget cars by first world countries where people have three times the purchasing power of malaysians. (their PPP adjusted income is about 3x that of malaysians)

As for their price overseas, all i can say is that a jazz effectively costs RM71000 on the road in Australia as I bought one there six months ago. Internet prices are about 25-30% lower than the actual price and dont include extra costs and govt charges (eg stapmduty, plates, registrationm insurance etc).

Im not saying the govt is clean… but we are doing much better than other developing countries with influxes of oil wealth (eg nigeria/venezuela). The bottom line is that alot of resources were spent making sure the bulk of the population had fair access to the country’s wealth. Without such policies, malaysia would be pretty much doomed to racial chaos due to large scale inequalities that resulted from colonial rule. (eg. most malays were in the rural areas while the chinese were in population centers).

Also dont forget that our econ is quite diversified, and to it’s credit, the govt has promoted industry. 300b per year from manafacturing, 45b from palm and rubber, and ~80b from Oil and gas.

a little more than the current price means >100k. Better wait for Myvi1.5. Maybe can buy 2 units summore

you still don’t understand that if someone can afford to spend 100k or more on a car, he will never purchase the ultra common myvi…..even if can get 5 units at that price.

Dang… this is a bait video. Making sure that car buyers will wait for it before spending their money on something else.

bavarian, perhaps you should ask those Mini owners why they didn’t get a Camry and save 10 grand? It’s all about lifestyle.
