[attachmentid=2641825]

they can put a big dickhead for all i care..what i most cocnern is the pricing..below 90k please for low spec 1.6!

I just asked the HQ and they say the price is RM90k-120K.

1.6 Standard might be RM89,XXX - 91,XXX
The 1.8 Premium might be RM118,XXX

Still waiting for finalization. They will announce the launching date end of this month/ early week of next month..

Cheers

lets just hope that the hq ppl are playing with us and mark up high price for now (before launching) so that they wont disappoint us if the actual price is higher.. haha

"Elantra win award in us.. so must price it higher.. " says sd

Yeah I know...if I was the manager, the blady SA would be fired

This thread is becoming a SD bashing thread..mana bro Fluidic?

Most likely Elantra 1.6 high spec will be around 95k, but I can garenti you that 1.6 is underpowered for a 1200kg car. 1.8 Nu engine is the one to get - decent powerband to work with. The 1.8 version is the winner of the North American COTY, US takdah 1.6 version.

I guess some ppl will get it just for the shape, but based on Hyundai's past crap resale value, I would really think twice before plonking down RM118k for Elantra... for Civic, no worries at all - can check Mudah.my for strong resale value. IMHO, Mazda 3 2.0 at RM120k is a good deal too.

I'm just waiting for the official price - IF really above RM118k, SD can go fucuk themselves, along with their arrogant SAs

based on sonata price positioning, it it 90% that elantra will have same price with honda civic low spec (RM115k - 119k). their goal is probably to penetrate the market to establish the brand, but because of limited supply, they wont be able to cater all the demand at this moment.

Because of this, they will go for profit maximization strategy, in which within the supply-demand curve, they will pick the price point where the highest profit is gain while at the same time able to produce certain demand.

kia forte was advertised as 'c-segment car at d-segment price', while elantra is 'c-segment car at c-segment price'. Therefore definitely at civic price instead of forte. fluidic mentioned SD were surprised how Forte could put that price below 100k, so definitely SD are not going to compete at Forte price. So now the probability is 98%.

While the price seems on high side, it is good for SD at it brings maximum profit but we are on consumer side will be at loss because of all-we-know resale value, perception, spare parts etc.

However remember that SD also offer low spec elantra at competitive price so they still have the chances to penetrate the market. 1.8 is only to cater premium consumers who were not too price sensitive. Price sensitive consumer go buy low spec.

(Now i see the reason why SG doesnt sell 1.8.)

Singapore civic spec:

"The Civic 1.6 features a standard audio that features WMA and MP3 audio file capability, Speed-Sensitive Volume Control (SVC), an audio input jack and a USB audio interface. The Civic hybrid, Civic 1.8 and Civic 2.0 add Bluetooth HandsFreeLink, front tweeters, Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System and a 6.2-inch TFT color touch display. The navigation system features the popular Garmin system. A reverse camera system is standard. "

"Free upgrade to 5 yr unlimited mileage warranty."
what the heck. whats there left for Elantra to be proud of if at same price as civic? Hmm.. maybe i need to reconsider getting civic or its facelift.

Exactly! Kick out the cronies and free this country for once!

Then why are you asking me to explain the very point of pricing when you straightaway say in the next sentence leave out about pricing being unconfirmed? You are asking questions which I do not have definite answer to and many(including me) did tried answering, but you simply wouldn't accept them.

Someone will probably going to bring up the 40MPG issue again, despite being answered in picture.

Just to let everybody know, even the price range of 'c-segment' is not fixed, we merely used the current popular c-segment as gauge, by definition c-segment is a car priced close to or above 100k, that's a broad range of price the Elantra can sit in.

You're obviously selecting points in getting your arguments across here, given your history of dismissing 100% of my explanation so far I see no use explaining anything to you at all because you simply won't accept anything. In case you're wondering, you're one of those I referred to as quoted in previous post.

because it is a premium korean's car. hyundai always premium and more expensive to built than KIA. 
but i wonder, in Korea where i believe those cars are directly sell by these companies (in malaysia, Naza and Inokom are only assembler/distributor), were priced similar....thus that means, in their homeland, Hyundai is selling at less profit than KIA (base on cheaper to built KIA's excuse by Hyundai's salesman) ? Or is it the "premium" things only applicable outside of Korea?

if elantra and forte can be priced similar in Korea, and other country, why not in Malaysia...

maybe because Malaysia is only a small market, thus Hyundai not really car about market penetration thus price it much higher...
