The new facelift K5 look so sleek! Sadly not for SG.

Really don't know why after the covid appeared, everything seems to shot up and never come down. From cars, property and foods.

Don't think gahment would want to do anything, since they can collect more money and yet keep the numbers of people owning cars down.

Erections coming. They will do something or risk losing some votes/GRCs.

Test balloons already floating around like one off increase in COE numbers. Never heard this before in the last 30 plus years of COE until now. Why? Becos Erections!

In fact, it's not for any Right Hand Drive market because from past sales, RHD Market K5/Optima has poor and poorer sales. Hence KIA decided to ditch producing for RHD market K5. It's a pity because this K5 is really a looker.

Just came back from Korea and these new models of Korean cars from Kia and Hyundai are really a looker. But buy 1 new Staria here can buy 6 there. Haha.

I really like their 2024 KIA Sportage 1.6L hybrid, but it never come Singapore at all. 

My dad still got the old mindset in 2024 that Korean car like KIA and Hyundai more difficult to maintain and not much resell value when selling perhaps 6-7 years time later compare to Toyota as he drove Honda and Toyota throughout his life.
 

I told him downgrade the car as he tiring soon no need to drive such a big car with high installment and road tax. So I recommend him KIA NIRO Hybrid SX or Hyundai Avante Hybrid but of course cannot compare with current PI 2.0NA Toyota Harrier SUV that we had now. 

He never even test drive these Korean brand before, die die don’t want these 2 Korean brand then say Conti expensive + high maintenance fee and he dislike Mazda. Not much choice left, I told him then you go test drive the 2024 1.6L facelift Toyota Corolla Altis which also around $150K as we looking for new car these few months as the new 2.5L Harrier Hybrid cost $235K, wth $235K for a Toyota is really sucks.

Saw the Sportage there too, really looks good. Here cars are priced too high now with little models to choose from.
