Mcscot 5th Gear January 30, 2014 Share January 30, 2014 Looks like the Jag XJ from the front. I must agree that the Korean marques have excellent interiors. I just viewed a Camry over the weekend and was grossly underwhelmed. Wife was happy cos it means she doesn't have to hear me harp about the Camry anymore!

Wt_know Supersonic January 30, 2014 Share January 30, 2014 (edited) does look and feel 'luxury' without the badge ... it does give 7-series, jaguar xj, s-series a run for their money ... but won't sell in spore ... for obvious reason ... lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=AL5NPTiZ5gM Edited January 30, 2014 by Wt_know Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baal Supersonic January 30, 2014 Share January 30, 2014 But if omv is right, still have chance. Say if omv about 30k x 140% Vs 50-60k x 180% arf. But the damn road tax lah. If they give the 2.0 T ....will help. So may become of choice between 3/320 - c180 Vs top range KIA. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Singaporean will still buy a 320 or c180 over whatever kia's top range car even its cheaper,.., brand and face value my friend,,,, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wt_know Supersonic January 30, 2014 Share January 30, 2014 (edited) pricing is critical ... all the so called luxury features already available in conti for long time liao like simi lane departure warning, surround view camera, head up display, super tong kong sound system like B&O, auto park assist, adaptive headlights, etc etc if the price is only 20%-30% cheaper ... i believe people will still buy 5/7-series, e/s-class, jaguar xf, audi 6/8 This is epic!

But for Singaporeans, very difficult. Everything also about face. To be honest, having driven both Korean and continental cars, the only complain I got about Korean cars is that its a little underpower, and that's because of the variant brought in. I don't find conti cars value for money dollar to dollar in terms of tangible differences. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wt_know Supersonic January 30, 2014 Share January 30, 2014 (edited) conti car here is freaking expensive because of AD fat fat margin conti like 5/7 series e/s class and audi audi 6/8 is cheaper in other countries even though you factor in arf, coe, 20% tax local AD is making sibei fat margin from conti car because of monopoly. for each brand there is only one and only AD ... take it or go fly kite yes, there is parallel importer but they are also trailing very close to AD fat margin ... and most of the PI cannot make it ... why bother to save a penny and lose a pound 30% cheaper can seriously consider.

Have faith with the brand's QC. That's why the popular choice of PI cars are mostly toyotas. Cause ppl have faith with the brand's quality. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
