Enye Hypersonic August 7, 2014 Share August 7, 2014 isn't it funny how LTA can use OMV as a benchmark to separate luxury and BB cars for taxes but insist that hp as a better benchmark to determine which cars belong to Cat A and Cat B COE segments? really elite thinking nobody can understand ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
inlinesix Hypersonic August 7, 2014 Share August 7, 2014 (edited) They will have a closed door meeting with the law makers... After that, you will a new policy come out to make everyone who attended the meeting including the law maker happy!! Consumer like us basically is always at the losing end and will be punished even further... Don't really understand why is the common ppl always get punished for all these shit.... Because common ppls did not give feedback through the proper channel. MCF is NOT THE proper channel. Edited August 7, 2014 by Davidtch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

drivinghazard 2nd Gear August 7, 2014 Share August 7, 2014 ah seng was out of town wif his killer whale. honda......their wheezy earth dreams 1.3L consperm <130bhp. Interesting that the killer whale, who is also the MTA president, was missing at a meeting that was supposed to be what MTA was set up to begin with. This MTA is a joke, more and more members leave. Chinese say "a plate of sand". All of them fighting against one another how to have common voice. Maybe this meeting was deliberately held when Ah Seng not ard for some reason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knoobie Supercharged August 7, 2014 Share August 7, 2014 wats the point of taxing the rich more? are lower income pple going to buy more or less cars as a result? it doesnt solve the traffic situation whether its a nissan sunny or ferrari on the same road. The only & correct solution is already being done & that is to control total vehicle population. because we still need low salaried man to be the sales person to run around? i think its quite obvious if we take away these taxes, who will be able to dominate the COE.

The_Bear Turbocharged August 7, 2014 Share August 7, 2014 In general, the policy makers cannot make rapid changes because businesses need long term policies to make decisions. On these, I believe a lot of us can relate to the ADs problem because recently it seems like the those people making policies are not thinking very clearly before deciding resulting in a rash of U-turns and stupid policies. Maybe there is something wrong with our system that needs to be changed. We need people that really understand the problems and with the courage to voice out.

Contipro 5th Gear August 7, 2014 Share August 7, 2014 haiya... reduce the profit margin and give big discount then solve the problem lor.. anyway the AD have gain profit from the COE bidding liao.. to government point of view, they are more like challenging the competition act..

Baal Supersonic August 7, 2014 Share August 7, 2014 Hyun/Kia, could be jumping coz their BnB models are affected. When the next Elan/K3 comes with just 1 more hp, they are out of the market. Unless when that happens, they bring in Rio/i20 as their BnB model. But not ,many will pay 60k for a 1.4L NA 102hp kimchi car.Toyota jump coz, their 1.6L is already in the >130hp league. They have to specially detune their Auris for this purpose. I suspect their Altis was suppose to share this same engine if not for....130hp.Nissan no jump coz, their engine could be as is as available (Sylphy) so not affected at 115hp. Subaru, at 114hp & on AWD......no concern....Honda, Civic....not a big seller to begin with. They have also started marketing City 'the people's car' (BnB)118hp....safe. As for the Jazz......looking at the Boleh AD in Boleh market.....they are using the same engine as the City in the Jazz 1.5. (not the same engine as the model in Japan site with GDI, 132ps/155nm). If the same Jazz as Boleh applies here,also safe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
