Now wether we can afford to buy or not a VW is another matter. I'm sure the price of CKD VW is much cheaper than CBU but still would be slightly more expensive than P1 and P2, as the saying goes, you get what you pay for... For me, I like to see more choices on the table. Just my 2 cents.[/quote] Yeah, there are benefits of having VW open a factory in Malaysia, in terms of giving all those jobless graduates the work. But don't forget, it's not just a question of that. There's also the question of money flowing out of the country, after tax....there must be a balance between the two to make things work.

Unfortunately with the failing global economy most car prices have already been jacked up to accomodate the loss of profits like VW. FActor in the dramatic drop in VW share prices in Germany and VW will seriously need every penny they can get. On top of that with Malaysia being a relatively 'small' market I doubt that VW will be giving any bargains. With regards to Proton, acquiring the right parts is part of the engineering design of the product itself. In terms of reliability, engineering prowess and competitiveness, proton still has a long way to go in the global market. Lets all hope now that emerging automotive giants from China and India do not outbit the locally produced items. The new Polo will be priced within the old Polo's pirce (~108K.)
