i have a scenario:
married couple wants a car with great fuel economy, ABS, airbags, crumplezone, powerpackage etc and only has 650 to spend. woudl it make sense for them to
1) Buy Vitz etc?
2) Buy Cultus?
3) Lease a Surf/Prado?
The choice is obvious, and obviously when you buy an imported car you'll pay a bit more for the parts since they too will be imported not locally manufactured garbage.
This is why imports are doing better than local cars.
