AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments on the VW Touareg Hybrid highlight its high price of RM617k as excessive and unjustified, with many criticizing the pricing compared to overseas markets where similar models are cheaper. Several commenters believe the car is aimed at wealthy buyers or business owners using company assets for tax benefits, and some feel that government taxes and import duties contribute significantly to the inflated cost. Others compare it unfavorably to more prestigious or luxurious vehicles like Mercedes-Benz or BMW, criticizing its perceived value and seeking more affordable alternatives. A common sentiment is frustration over Malaysian car pricing, with accusations of corruption, greed, and protectionism leading to inflated prices, and calls for boycotting VW to protest unfair costs. Overall, the tone is skeptical and critical about the car’s pricing and the Malaysian auto industry policies.
