^^ on the above post. What is the localization content of the parts in Corolla or Innova. What is the % of this localized parts cost to that of the total cost of all the parts. As far as I am aware, the highly critical parts of the engine is imported.

Since it is being imported, these parts will bear an obnoxious thing called as import duty sending the cost skywards.......

Of course these Japanese car makers are definitely having higher margins for their cars, there is an influence on the cost which is out of the company's control (say the government norms)......

Hope this made sense.
