Great car looks as though it should have a bigger boot. Loooking forward to auto version jerky change you think. Nissan reliable. Still think it should have a bigger boot.

I remember I read it somewhere in the newspaper about this. Furthermore, every single cars imported must have AP permit so, no non-bumi company issue here. And stop playing with it. Being a bumi myself, I too must pay the same price if I want to buy imported cars. Screw NAP, it sucks. i thought TC purposely priced all their cars 10% higher compared to its competitor because being Nissan, people will buy it.

I said if it's IMPORTED into Malaysia by TC who has no AP, it will be expensive, and MIGHT be as expensive as the Tiida. Though I agree with your point that if it's ASSEMBLED locally, there's no way it'll be as expensive as the Tiida. Look, the March, for a while imported into Malaysia by Nissan, was priced higher than even today's Sylphy. nebuchadnezzar, please read my comment again.

That should translate similar (low) price for the Pixo if it’s imported into Malaysia. BUT Nissan, being a non-bumi company, has no AP, and this car if comes to Malaysia, it might be as expensive as the Tiida, if not more. Just like Suzuki Swift, imported from Japan, still cheaper than the Honda Jazz that’s made and and imported from Thailand. ___________________________________________________________________________ There's no way Pixo would be priced higher than Latio. If it comes to Malaysia and assembled at Tan Chong's plant in Serendah, I bet the price would be around RM55k - RM65k. Mind you it's 1.0L, so, if it's priced more than RM65k, then there's no point in selling the car at all as people may consider the new Honda City instead. TheophilusChin said,

Sometime I would wish the GOV will change, policy will change, Proton will grow up instead be like Malaysia, still like a baby after years of independent. So call national car should be competitive and made for its citizen, instead sucking own citizen hard work money.

COME ON LA... more expensive, yes definitely.. but completely impossible to be more expensive than the latio. 1st of all u must consider, it isnt one of those yaris/jazz hatches that tend to cost that much, its way below that level, really budget. look at the i10, still imported from india and costing 40+k. this car is going to cost cheaper than the i10 in the uk, and even if its taxes are higher, its definitely not 100% of the car, even if it is, it will be 80k at most, still less than a latio. And as our market itself gets more demanding and is more competitive in a very sensible way, it shouldnt cross the 60k mark.. that is IF they ever bring it here... TheophilusChin said,
