• our cars are 10 times more expensive than those sold in Australia compared to homes
• our homes may not be cheap but our cars are more expensive in comparison
• A median-priced house in US and UK can buy 12 and 16 Honda Civics respectively, which is still more affordable compared to the two which can be bought with a median-priced Malaysian house
• Proton Preve in Australia is RM11,000 cheaper than one that is acquired in Malaysia
• National Car Project was a form of protectionism for the national car industry. After more than 30 years since its inception, it has now become a burden to the rakyat, by eating more and more into our disposable income
