And... in what ways is leather a good choice for a car dashboard in Malaysia? I mean, yea it looks good and premium, but will it last? I have seen a maybe 8 or 9 year old Jag with totally cracked leather seats. Now imagine the dashboard all cracked up...

Also... why leather wrapped dashboard? How does that help? Wouldn't a few more airbags make more sense? The Camry in other markets has 10 airbags in the baseline model. We get... 2. But hey, as long as the dashboard is wrapped in leather...

The only reason why u seeing more kia on the roads is because they are cheap. Try pricing forte on par with japs and kia stand no chance.

Just take a look at the elantra which is more or less jap pricing, until now u hardly see them on the road.

Besides, the only kia that u are seeing more on the road nowadays is forte only. Up until now , seeing a k5 is as rare as seeing a ferrari.

If u go to 2nd hand car dealer, he will give u a much higher value for ur toyota compared to ur kia. Why? Simple, ppl are more willing to buy 2nd hand toyotas compared to kia. Just look around and see how often u see ppl asking about 2nd hand korean cars then u will know the answer.
