Well i would agree with Don.But still we may able to produce parts such as rubber beadings,tyres,pastics even metal castings,gear wheels etc in Sri Lanka
May be producing low cost cars (Cars such as Toyota Etios) with standard options and retiring old vehicles (may be more than 15 yrs old ),further reducing car imports would be a good way of making a local market.
Dont know whether it would make a enough production volume,if not we may be able to export cars,as Suzuki india is trying to set up an assemble plant in Sri Lanka.
I dont thick there would be a problem of finding skilled technicans as lots of qualified techicans pass out from instititues such as German tech,Japan tech etc.
But it should be fair on consumers side as other members stated.
