Elite cars

From Pikiran Rakyat

I was delighted to know that following an arduous
bureaucratic struggle an Indonesian producer will produce a cheap
car. But the question I would like to ask is: How cheap is the
new car? And how long will the cars remain cheap?

I know from experience, and according to economic law, that
demand causes prices to increase. The cheap car concept is
therefore invalid. A popular car will cost more than the cars
already available on the market.

If the national car is finally made, I hope the product is not
only intended for the middle-class and up. It should be available
to everyone. That way the cheap cars will benefit everyone not
just the privileged elite.
