[QUOTE="cloudbuster, post: 460379, member: 6653"] There are generally 3 groups of people who are currently driving old cars: - Group A: Poor citizens who can't afford to buy new ones, how else would they drive one. - Group B: Classic & Retro car lovers who are passionate about the old cars they drive. - Group C: People who can easily afford to buy new cars but choose not to because they see cars as only a liability and a convenient means to get around. Hence, they choose to drive fully-paid old cars. Nevertheless, the majority of old car drivers may belong to Group A. Having a EOL policy is technically acceptable, but what's going to happen to our poorer friends who are mostly from the rural areas? Are we, as a country, is ready for this? Being a national company, Proton, should be more ethical in its pursuit of market share. What good is a national car when the most deserving population of the rakyat is going to suffer for years to come just because one of our national companies needs crutches to stay afloat. I don't see a good risk management here. I only see the majority of the rakyat being in debt for years to come. [/QUOTE]
