If it means the local manufacturers will make millions of dollars more, I guess the government is fine with small businesses going bust.
I swear the people in government have shit for brains.
The people who buy imports wouldn't spend that money on a new local car anyway. Example, someone who buys a 15k GTR... what can they get new for that.. a Hyundai Getz?
No way a person who wants a GTR will buy a Getz.
Their only other option would be a WRX/Monaro/350z etc... sorry, but not everyone has 40k+ to spend on a performance car.
Their whole reason for doing this is because of competition and also to get older environment unfriendly cars off the road... So I guess what they're saying is they'd rather people buy 20 year old V8 commodores as opposed to more efficient 2L 4cylinders from Japan which not only are cleaner, but are better quality.
Sigh... And do you think there's anything we can do about it... as if
And then they mention something about a 30 year rule in the future... wtf is up with that?!?!
