I've really been bothered recently by the prices of cars in the Philippines. I just saw that an Audi R8 in the US is half the price of the ones being sold here. Are law makers that rich that they don't even have to bother revising the automotive tax in the country? The auto industry is down to assembly and sales. What's there to protect? Making cars cheaper won't put more cars on the road, it'll just make them safer and better to look at. In some countries, the Ford Mustang is the working man's car. Here, its the wealthy man's.

I think that the gov't can get as much money if they lower taxes. More people will buy new instead of trying to salvage old, slow, unsafe, and dirty engines. I really think something has to be done about this. I'm sad.
