Except for one optima i at my parents mcp the only others ive seen are taxis. Sadly if the only reason they bring in an optima is tie up with taxi co then also not so appealing... I think the Aussies also going for crossovers... ha ha... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new Sonata has RHD conversion, but it too is unlikely to find its way here Look for the all new Tucson, Santa Fe, Pallasade, all new Sorento, and possibly the Telluride in SG by the end to 1st quarter of next year instead.

If only we in LHD we will have alot more cars to choose. Like the K5, K7 and even K9. Or their brother/sister brand Hyundai Genesis G80 or Granduer. In terms of design, Camry and Accord totally no fight for this K5 Edited July 14, 2020 by Fellows Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the distributor wants to spend money to homologate and sell only 1 or 2 cars a year lor... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new Superb looks ok... maybe even elegant but the Octavia is just downright ugly... especially the taillights... I wonder what went wrong in the design process... The Hyundai Sonata is not bad already compared to Camry or Accord... the N-Line design looks much much better than the standard car... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superb is very bland. Sonata definitely the most polarising mid sized sedan. And for me, it fails lol. Not that Accord looks particularly nice, but i can get used to the look. Camry looks best out of the 3. The hyundais i see i really just get numb from how ugly they look. Edited July 18, 2020 by Lala81 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
