Rendahnya nasionalisme dan patriotisme ATPM merusak kemandirian industri otomotif Indonesia

Banyak hujatan yang dilontarkan kepada Indonesia akan ketergantungan yang luar biasa kepada asing dalam industri otomotif.

Beberapa menyalahkan sikap korupsi, mental kuli, dan sikap tidak kreatif Indonesia. Namun sebenarnya yang paling bertanggung jawab dalam kemandegan tersebut adalah ATPM.

Di India dan China, ATPM sangat berperan penting dalam motor penggerak pengembangan industri motor setempat. ATPM juga menjadi sarana alih teknologi yang sangat mumpuni.

Hanya saja di Indonesia, ATPM malaha kepanjangan tangan brand asing, hal ini diakibatkan karena asing juga menjadi pemilik mayoritas saham dalam ATPM tersebut.

Alih-alih menjadi penegah dalam alih teknologi, ATPM malah digunakan oleh asing untuk memonopoli pasar otomotif, mendikte kebijakan pemerintah dan mengaruk semua potensi bisnis turunan industri otomotif.

Pada zaman dimana era nasionalisme dan kebanggaan tehadap negara sudah bukan sesuatu yang tabu, asing dan ATPM seharusnya mengubah diri dari perilaku neo-kolonialisme seperti ini. Imperialisme ekonomi ini akan membuat konsumen menjadi objek dan bukan subjek dari pengembangan pasar. Usaha-usaha untuk melepaskan diri dari cengkeraman asing ini akan terus diddengungkan dan brand asing akan menjadi musuh dalam selimut.

Sebenarnya kalau asing misalnya toyota, ingin mengembangkan sayap, mereka harus ikut serta dalam pengembangan kemandirian industri otomotif nasional yang murni, bukan seperti kijang, sehingga penghormatan dan penghargaan kepada asing atau toyota akan semakin mempribumi.

The engine will retain the class pushrod configuration and will be reduced in size to only 5.5L. Despite the smaller displacement, the new V8 will produce more horsepower than the current LS3. Currently estimates put the horsepower at 440 hp. The engine for the C7 will be part of the new $890 million small block engine program that will be used in vehicles across the GM lineup.
