chuchok Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 (edited) 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. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 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? Edited May 11, 2005 by chuchok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
