Quantum 5th Gear February 22, 2013 Share February 22, 2013 I read Newspaper that some car dealers (most from Japanese and Korean Car dealers) suggested to linkup COE with car engine BHP, in term of 100BHP as baseline, every 10BHP higher than the baseline, COE price 10% increase, no ceiling, regardless engine capacity and most propably LTA might accept the suggest good idea? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steptronic Supercharged February 22, 2013 Share February 22, 2013 I am sure everyone is going to go mad either by giving or reading these proposals. I have another one. Go by 0-100 sprint. Below 9 sec Cat B and above 9 seconds Cat A. This sprint will have balanced wightage for BHP / Torque / weight / brand etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thedream 3rd Gear February 22, 2013 Share February 22, 2013 A "X" bhp NA car in general costs much more than a "X" bhp Forced Induction car. Tagging COE to bhp will categorise low-cost cars together with expensive cars. Doesn't make sense to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocus Turbocharged February 22, 2013 Share February 22, 2013 So a smaller BHP car will take up smaller space? If not.....NEXT.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dfx16 6th Gear February 22, 2013 Share February 22, 2013 I think go by the weight x width x height better, the bigger the car in size it hold up more area of the road, then pay more tax loh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kangadrool Supersonic February 22, 2013 Share February 22, 2013 (edited) Horspower is the lousiest form of baseline to base on. IMHO, it should be based on max 3 combo factors of (i) engine cap (ii) physical size - more critical is the length for passenger car (iii) CO2 emission.

Mach23 2nd Gear February 22, 2013 Share February 22, 2013 (edited) The way i see it - the COE system was a garment intervention, now the system has come back to haunt us because it cannot keep up with time. To produce greater benefit, i support the UK system of tax burden according to exhaust emission. Afterall, we have little margin of error from being a smog filled HK or Beijing equivalent if we don't persist in our pursuit of environmental protection. In this regard, as an example, if a 1.4 TSI [Overall fuel economy of 38.70 MPG (or 32.22 US MPG) and emissions of 174 g/km] and 2.4 NA [Toyota Camry overall fuel economy of 32.80 MPG (or 27.31 US MPG) and emissions of 206 g/km] engines can produce the similar bhp, the turbocharged version is actually the more environmentally friendly option. Thus, I do not support the bhp based COE system. Edited February 22, 2013 by Mach23 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quantum 5th Gear February 22, 2013 Author Share February 22, 2013 (edited) the good point is to limit those top grade car buyer, e.g Ferrari some model 600bhp over and w/o COE price already one million over, current COE even if up to 100k, also is a peanut compare to car price, if calculated by new COE system, it has to suffer 700k over COE + 1 million car price, Edited February 22, 2013 by Quantum Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raceguysg Neutral Newbie February 22, 2013 Share February 22, 2013 They should base it on CO2 emissions like what UK is doing for their road tax. BHP and engine size is meaningless. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
