Local Ford Escapes are built in Philipines and imported under AFTA with 5% duty and/or swapped for Ranger pickup trucks.

What they need is a special tax excuse for hybrid cars. Imported they cost about 2mil for Toyota or Honda. VW Tdi has a better mileage for that price.

If Japs will push through their zero tax for vehicles with 3,000+ engines we might see some interesting offers here from Lexus, Nissan/Infiniti, or Acura.

That Holden someone mentioned earlier, if they've got big engines, the Aussie-Thai FTA should keep their prices very low. They are sold here under Chevrolet Lumina badge.

I havent had a close look at the Aussie FTA, but surely the duty will be low as a good number of pick-ups that are made in Thailand are shipped top oz.

I just checked their web site.All they have got is the poxy 3.6L...where is the 5.7L V8 HSV?
