Ichibawa 5th Gear August 13, 2019 Share August 13, 2019 (edited) Not a subscriber. Can only read the first 2 lines. Supposed its the Electric car that opens its door to resemble the Orchid. Need to know what else it can do other than going fast both in speed and battery draining. Edited August 13, 2019 by Ichibawa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinceng Turbocharged August 15, 2019 Share August 15, 2019 (edited) I think it makes more sense to build a normal bread and butter saloon similar to the Proton Saga or Perodua Bezza at low OMV and and sell it in Singapore at an attractive price.

Also, Singapore local market is not big enough to self sustain an infant industry. So the only viable way into the market is to make exotic cars which don't sell in volume, but premium cars based on exquisivity.

A car to suggest is the Hyundai Grandeur. This is feasible as their assembly plant in Indonesia and India are not likely to asseble such vehicles, given the low market for them in SEA.However, there is some untapped potential in Oceania and maybe other rhd countries. We can use it as a taxi too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinceng Turbocharged August 17, 2019 Share August 17, 2019 Totally absolutely disagree. Itâs a waste of timeActually, you are right! Why waste money, time, effort and money to build a car assembly plant? The SG govt makes more easy money selling paper (COE) worth the weight of gold. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will never happen la. I also wonder why Govt is encouraging this and Dyson to come and build cars here, when they are obviously staunchly anti-car. Conflicting message leh. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
