[QUOTE="alanB, post: 42303, member: 431"] I think Hi Phibian nailed most of the key issues - most of which is due to SA being about 1% or less of the world market and thus not really worth special treatment from the overseas OEM's. Regarding local dealers/distributors not supporting local manufacturers - I suspect this is more a problem relating to the margins/commissions that can be made by the dealers on imported goods with well established distribution channels etc. It certainly has nothing to do with the quality or reliability of local products! I also suspect that personality/ego issues may be a factor. [/QUOTE]
