#CarFacts If A Car In #Malaysia Is Too Successful, Competitors Can Have That Car's Price Raised

America has a fairly open car market, which we can't quite say about the growing car market in Malaysia, which is dominated by Toyota. BobbyAngpoints out the country's strangest automotive regulation.

When a certain car is selling too well within a segment in Malaysia, competitors can actually file a complaint to the authorities and the authorities will them hike up the price of that vehicle (forcefully) to 'level' competition-ship. Case in point, the Passat CC was given a hike of $10,000 from $80,000 USD to $90,000. And the VW Polo GTI also experienced this, going from $46,000 to $56,000 last year.
