Comments highlight that the industry’s slump is due to high car prices, low resale values, and stricter bank loans, impacting affordability for typical consumers. Many believe Proton's market dominance and policies like NAP hinder foreign competitors and contribute to declining sales, while some suggest consumer confidence, economic conditions, and taxes also play roles. Several comments call for better industry transparency, more affordable vehicles, and recognition of consumer demand as key factors behind the sales decline. Overall, frustrations with industry policies and pricing are evident.
