Car Show 2024

[Columbian78]

After 1h i feel bored ler. Maybe cars have become bored to me now. Jaguar, landrover, skoda, vw, tesla not here. Many of the established brands nothing new to show. My own car coe is expiring this year so i should be more interested. Only car of interest is crv. But the more interesting variants no news. And of cos, too much premium now. 

My advice, if nothing better to do then come down.

Saw and feel the Toyota Prius at the show. It was a very cheapo version. Interior quality-wise, Dashboard is soft touch. Front and rear doors, other than the armrests, all hard plastics. Worse is the infortainment, a smaller screen but is not integrated type, looks like those on a taxi. Previous Prius has better quality interior and, even "updated" Altis one felt so much better with the silm type infotainment screen.

No worries, suitable for Grab & GetGo can already.

Actually I liked the new Prius design. Very sleek but seeing the car in person. The product quality for our market is very disappointing. Even the Altis interior quality is so much better.

We are not even getting the more efficient 2L hybrid system

Ya, but the 1.8 is upgraded to close to 140bhp at least. But it is like we are getting the taxi version of the Prius because with the hard plastics door cards, and the retro-installed (pops out of the infotainment "box"), I was thinking if the display car at the show is actually a taxi being wrapped. 🤣

@thebestbees  I think so, it looks good but price out of my budget

This year motorshow smaller than previous years, and they shifted the booths selling car shampoo and accessories inside the hall, so need to buy ticket if looking to go shopping.

It is meant to be used as taxi. They not making it available for general sale.

Yeah this year show scaled down by quite a bit.

Think Motorshow hype is dying. Won't be surprised if next year more brands don't participate.

The market is shrinking to a number of brands plus EV

Nope, it is launched and going to be on sale by Borneo Motors.

@Columbian78 not sure if Kah Motor did their research before pricing the CRV, it’s around 230k-240k depending on 5 seater or 7 seater. At that price point there’s so much more better options. Maybe nowadays people pay a premium for Honda ? And the interior looks really dated. 

[thebestbees]

@inlinesix or Skoda kodiaq, 1.5L turbo but $179k only

Based on some YT review, CRV 2.0 eHev is the one to go for and not the 1.5T
