true.. but if the idea of the road tax system here is to penalise bigger cars with bigger engines then the SMART should be much cheaper due to its sub 1L engine.

well, the thing the parf system is at fault in such a case.

 

it just magnifies whatever cost of the car 2.5 times, without recognising the postive externalities (hope i haven't gotten my economic term wrongly) that such cars can give.

 

and this includes hybrid car whose cost is high but with this magnifying effect, puts everyone off from buying despite the postive impact it can bring to the environment.

Heard that the Smart car is selling at $50k excl. COE?? True?? if so... ain't very Smart leh confused.gifconfused.gifsmash.gifsmash.gifsmash.gifsmash.gif

 

Who would buy a 2 seater, small car with a old design (is the car 5 years old or more??) at close to $80k??

 

Green cars are still very costly, just like the Honda Civic Hybrid and the Toyota Prius [shakehead]

governments around the world can't openly support green cars as the oil companies would kick up a big fuss! what about eating into their profits and bad for business sentiment..
