[QUOTE="Will78, post: 823720, member: 2233"] In my opinion, people who can afford WALD cars, most likely won't consider buying a PROTON if they can no longer get any WALD cars. I think the government is saying that issue is more on the fact that WALD cannot be technically considered as a "car manufacturer". Thus, I am guessing that you should still be able to bring in WALD tuned cars, but must declare under "Toyota" or "VW" as car manufacturer on the AP and registration. The whole problem started because a group of people decided to abuse the system by guising up WALD as a "car manufacturer" on documents. You can easily argue for this case by looking up the car chassis number... I doubt WALD cars would have their own chassis numbering system as they would still retain the original chassis number from VW or Toyota. Having said all that, from a selfish point of view, I don't think it would hurt to have WALD around. It's more competition for the seller and more choices for consumers. Plus, extra revenue for the government for as long as WALD cars are not under-declared. This whole thing about the AP started with PROTON not doing well because apparently the market was flooded with under-declared imported cars that was eating up PROTON's market share. I just cannot see that WALD is in anyway a threat to PROTON... they are just simply on a totally different price bracket! So, why is WALD taking the hit on this one? I guess it's all about the business and making most of every oppurtunity to get rid of competition by taking advantage of the given situation. Like most scandals... the case cannot be closed without a scapegoat! Juz my two cents. [/QUOTE]
