perodua bezza is prove that malaysia is great at making 1.0L 3 pot vehicle
it simply proves that malaysians are poor and have weak buying power, and can only afford cheap cars. Feeling proud?
Rakyat have been forced ,so to speak,to buy P1 and 2,due to “4 decades of perlindungan”.If without the failed experiment of “national car”,most of us are driving affordable Hondas and Toyotas.
We could have been the Detriot of Asia,but sadly we need a China apek car giant called Geely to rescue P1 from insolvency.
We dont have weak buying power.
We have buying power,but most of the car purchase price is made up of huge car taxes.
Mind boggling why P2 chopped of nearly RM5k from the Axia which overall has seen sales increase,almost matching the 1.5 Saga.
If fanboys look for affordability and a bit more power,the new 1.5 Saga at the rm38k category is a clear winner.
Perhaps,fearing lower Axia sales in coming months,P2 has decided to take a sizable haircut for the basic Axia.
Only downside are used cars dealers who have “makan” some basic 1.0 Axias(2025 models).Buyers will definitely go for brand new basic Axias.
MITI getting fat bonus. i protect you, you protect my cronies.
Malaysian car sales scenes seems to indicate 35k unit per month for vehicles with engine capacity 1.3 and below.. saga originally is in 1.3 and even though upgraded to 1.5 now, it is still priced at 1.3 range. hence contributing to this segment sales figures… it may goes to show the demanfd for this segment and more likely from first time car owners. .. is this figure covers almost 50% of whole month volume ?
