The death of the car industry

[EQAddict]

And where do my taxes go? Over the years i have paid dozens of millions in taxes.... yet:

1) im scared to death more than ever of the police

2) traffic is hell everyday with no end in Sight. Heck i have to put a ps4 in my car just to keep my sanity.

3) ive never been on a flight that wasnt delayed at least 2hrs due to the damn airport congestion which doesnt see any signs of improving.

4) my land taxes are being raised again this year (in QC) and yet the road and transport infrastructure is still rotting.

5) i still dont have plate numbers for 2 cars i bought last year

6) the poor are even more marginalized and abused than ever. This is the most depressing issue. I am driven around in a nice car yet i see the hardship and squallor and hunger surrounding me everyday. Where's the govt help for these souls?

Hell. Im not asking for world peace. Just some damn progress.

Easiest and fastest solution would be building another runway in NAIA. Just a rumor, but some people in high places say an influential religious leader is (squatting?) on the land. And wants to stay there.

Dear government, I just wanted to drop you a little note to say that the excise tax proposal on cars is stupid. It's anti progress. It will cripple an industry that took 20 years to recover; an industry that invested billions of dollars (after you courted them with incentives) into the economy and now employs tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of Filipinos.

This is not how you reward an industry that managed to hit the targets you set for them.

If you're doing this to reduce traffic, that's not going to work either. Besides which, why should those in the provinces have to pay 40% more for their cars simply because we can't get our act together in Metro Manila, Cebu, and a handful of other cities? It's like ordering chemotherapy to treat a couple of pimples on your face. If you really want to have an impact on traffic and raise revenue at the same time, why not tax the drivers licenses? We have way too many idiots on the road anyway. And then plough some of that back into driver education and stricter testing. Then look at congestion charges in key cities.

If you're doing this for the environment, why not pass the alternative fuel incentive act that doesn't tax EVs, hybrids and other Zero or low emission vehicles? And then tax the crap out of polluters. Or outlaw them altogether like you promised you would. Don't paint us all with that same dirty brush.

If you're doing this because you think you're hitting the rich, keep in mind that many car owners only became car owners as a way to escape the failure of government to provide them a safe and reliable, government-funded, public transportation alternative.

And to add sa suggestion ni deakin. Make it very affordable to own a hybrid, electric vehicles.... Kung around 900thou to 1million dadami sa kalsada .

Dapat talaga itax mataas diesel and ban the blanking of egr and bypassing catalytic converter. Pang third world barriotic ganyan pamamaraan.

At sana if magpadala ako segway eh no tax na para pag punta ako galle eh hindi na magkotse pag lipat sa mega and shang.

Excempted ba ang locally assembled vehicles like innova+mirage+vios?

Will the electric vehicle serve as the death knell of the car industry?

I was watching nat geo's years of living dangerously dokyu the other night and apparently the big time car makers are 1 of the entities that are resisting to make the technology mainstream even though the tech is now pretty reliable, lightning quick, and durable. Laki pala ng lobbying money tinatapon nila sa american politicians (aka suhol) para matigil ang legislations nila leaning towards the advance of electric vehicles

to be or not to be, that always confuses me!

Electric is the way to go. Kaso marami negosyo maapektuhan. Dito na lang sa pinas ubos ang banawe at fuel station. Domino yan.

Ilan ba parts ng basic car na napakacomplex. Sa electric dadalawa or tatlo parts lang at mas swabe pa.

nope, small % reduction lang siguro, of course fuel is here to stay for commercial use... wala naman yata pure electric truck/bus/passenger airplane

I dont think electric vehicles will be good in our hot climate. The battery packs would just overheat kahit water cooled pa yan.

I'm no conspiracy theorist, but bear with me here. I've been getting reports that the vehicle excise tax will be railroaded and implemented much earlier than the proposed initial date of 2018. Some have even hinted at April of this year.

Earlier this month, the LTO suddenly enacted an absolutely ridiculous and indefensible no plate/ no travel for new cars based on an OR/CR that they themselves cannot comply with--which means there's no way they can enforce this long term. But it may just buy enough time to stall new car sales. Or more importantly, enough time to prevent a surge of new car sales before the new tax comes in.

I could be completely wrong of course. Like I said, it's just a theory. Either way. #RegulateDriversB4regulatingCars

the govt's goal is to stop new cars from leaving the showroom

everything they're doing makes sense if you believe that's their goal

Dilawan yan! Huwag tularan.

[Monseratto]

I guess I can keep my SUVs a little longer then...

Even worse, SUV price increases may fan the used car market, putting old, stockpiled SUVs with poor emissions and reliability back on the road, to the detriment of both the consumer and the environment.

I didnt read the last paragraph but after i did it makes the title of this thread more and more disconnected from what could actually happen.

Bro, I could not believe how well preserved Sigourney Weaver's Beryllium Spheres were in that movie. It's like they were in zero G.

Magaling ba yan? My eyes are still red from the rainbow colored table. 😂

Bro, I admit the title is extreme, but it was posted based on the original DoF proposal which was a lot more prohibitive towards the better selling and bullish segments.

I'm still hoping they reconsider revising the rates for the luxury segment. Not that I can even afford it but we can certainly see how it will probably result in a net negative increase in tax collection for that segment.
